Lily Allen speaks out about her 'incredibly traumatic' miscarriage
Losing a child can be tremendously heartbreaking for any mother, and Lily Allen, who suffered two miscarriages, is no exception. In a recent interview on BBC Radio 4's Woman’s Hour podcast, the 33-year-old almost seemed to break down when she spoke about the agony she went through when she gave birth to her stillborn son George eight years ago.
Allen said, "I went into trauma and I don’t think I will ever recover from that.” Recalling the ordeal, Allen, who was at the time of the tragedy married to Sam Cooper, described the heartbreaking scene that she had to witness for at least 12 hours. After going into early labor, "they put a stitch in my cervix to try and stop that from developing, and that lasted for the best part of a week,” said Allen, who also suffered a miscarriage three years before that during her relationship with musician Ed Simons.
