"I felt guilty as I had four children and thought I can't tell people about my miscarriages," she admitted. "I stopped telling my friends, I didn't even tell my mum as I was sure she was thinking, 'You're 40 something, you've got a wonderful family, you've got everything you've ever wanted, why are you pushing it?'"

She continued, "I didn't even really tell Jamie I was pregnant at points as I was worried he'd think, 'Why are we going through this all again?' I thought I was putting people through hell for my own selfish gain, and that's terrible."
