Myleene Klass: ‘It’s unacceptable how women having miscarriages are treated in this day and age’

Myleene Klass has opened up about the devastating miscarriages she’s suffered over the last decade, and urged the government to do more, saying it’s ‘unacceptable’ how women who have gone through baby loss are being treated. The former Hear’Say singer, 46, who is a Tommy’s ambassador, is to be recognised in the New Year Honours for her services to women’s health, miscarriage awareness and to charity.
The mum-of-three, who has daughters Ava and Hero and her ‘rainbow baby’ son Apollo, has spent years campaigning for government change regarding miscarriage care, and fronted a Bafta-nominated documentary, Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me, in 2021, where she spoke about her own heart-breaking experiences.

In an interview with Metro, after the announcement of being made an MBE, Myleene discussed how difficult it was to speak about her own miscarriages in the BBC programme, and raged over the lack of concern for women’s health in this day and age. She said: ‘The subject matter [of the documentary] was not one that many people wish to talk about – it’s whispered about, it’s brushed under the carpet. “People just got on with it in our day,” that’s what you hear all the time.
‘So to talk so visibly, to put a spotlight on such a heart-wrenching subject, it was really difficult. I remember saying to the rest of the team when we were filming, “I don’t know how I’m going to do this,” because every time I said the word… I’d never heard myself say it out loud, I’d heard other people say it like doctors, specialists, friends, but I’d never said it myself.
