Perrie Edwards shares fiancé Alex's heartbreaking response to miscarriage

Perrie Edwards revealed her fiancé, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, was 'traumatised' after she had a miscarriage when she was 22 weeks pregnant. The 32-year-old Little Mix singer opened up about the devastating loss last month, saying it was "the worst day of my life" and added it was "horrendous".

"I just knew something was wrong in the scan, and [the doctor] just kept going over the same thing, over the same thing... I've never experienced an out-of-body experience where everything goes in slow motion,” said Perrie, 32, as she shared the ordeal with Celebs Go Dating expert Paul C. Brunson on his podcast, We Need To Talk.

Perrie continued: "So then I remember sobbing. [Alex] was injured at the time and he couldn't really drive. He was struggling to drive, but I couldn't see straight. I was just distraught."

She suffered the loss after the birth of her son Axel. The singer and her footballer partner are now expecting their second child together.

While discussing the impact it had on her, she revealed Alex felt a 'lack of control' while trying his best to support her. She praised her fiancé, who she has been with for almost a decade, for being by her side and revealed he was focused on "trying to stay strong for her."

Perrie said: "We are very lucky to have each other. We love each other so much. He was just so worried about me, and I think he felt the lack of control, like there was nothing he could really do."

Speaking to Glamour, she added: "But him just being there, and being by my side through the whole thing, just made it so much better. I kept asking him, 'Are you okay?', and he's like, 'It's not about me,' and I'm like, 'Yes it is though'. We both lost a baby. We both went through it.

"He's very like that with emotions, he tries to just suck it up and move on. But I could see that he was traumatised about it. I think he just wanted to try and be strong for me."

During her conversation with Paul last month, the singer called Axel a “rainbow baby” after she lost a baby during her first pregnancy, “I had a miscarriage very early on with my first ever pregnancy, and it was so early. I remember finding out I was pregnant. Obviously, I started bleeding not long after, and I went to the hospital and I had the scan and they were like, 'There's no baby.'"

But it was the second experience which Perrie said really hit home, after she and Alex had already begun preparing for the newborn’s arrival. “When you're fully, like carrying in your 24 weeks and you've planned out like that room and all these things, it's really hard.

"And nobody knows other than, like, immediate friends and family. And I remember, like, shortly after, like, friends would message and be like, ‘how's the bump?’ And I'll be like, there is no bump."
