LONDON: Katie Price, 46, has suffered a miscarriage after conceiving over Christmas. The model already has five children from previous relationships. She shares Harvey, 22, with Dwight Yorke, while Junior and Princess are from her marriage to Peter Andre. Jett and Bunny were born during her relationship with Kieran Hayler. Katie has openly expressed her desire for another baby and previously considered surrogacy. However, she unexpectedly became pregnant naturally with her partner, JJ Slater.
Emotional Rollercoaster
Scans in February confirmed the tragic loss of the baby. Katie described the experience as heartbreaking and confusing. She initially felt relieved and overjoyed to conceive naturally. Medical experts previously told her she was perimenopausal and had only a 1% chance of conceiving. The pregnancy came as a shock, as she and JJ were not actively trying. She noticed early symptoms, including a missed period, nausea, and breast tenderness.
Shocking Discovery
Katie performed multiple pregnancy tests to confirm the news. JJ was thrilled, but she soon noticed something unusual. The test lines failed to darken, raising her concerns. A follow-up scan and blood tests confirmed the baby had not survived. The loss deeply affected both Katie and JJ. She admitted she struggled to process her emotions, moving between sadness and confusion.
Holding Onto Hope
Despite the heartbreak, Katie remains determined to try again. She acknowledged her age but still hopes for another child. She wants to provide hope to women struggling with fertility. Her journey has inspired many, and she now collaborates with baby loss charity Tommy’s. She wants to raise awareness for grieving mothers and those facing pregnancy struggles.
Finding Comfort
Katie has experienced three previous miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy. To cope, she finds comfort in lifelike Reborn Dolls. She owns four dolls, each representing a lost baby. She says they help her process grief and provide emotional support. She acknowledges her body is aging but refuses to give up her dream.
Determined Future
Katie turns 47 soon but remains hopeful about motherhood. She and JJ plan to keep trying for a baby. She believes every stage of motherhood is special, from infancy to adulthood. She loves nurturing her children and values her bond with them. Though devastated, she remains strong and focused on her goal.
Raising Awareness
Katie is using her platform to support others facing similar challenges. She believes discussing miscarriage openly can help others heal.
