Former Made in Chelsea star Louise Thompson has revealed she suffered a miscarriage in January 2024, just over two years after the traumatic birth of her son Leo
Louise Thompson has revealed that she suffered a miscarriage.
She took to Instagram to inform fans that she suffered a miscarriage more than a year ago and admitted that she confided the news only to “a handful of people”.
The reality TV star shared snapshots of a positive pregnancy test next to a web page predicting a September 10, 2024 due date. She wrote: “Tw: miscarriage and fertility struggles. I thought I’d include this so that people don’t get the wrong end of the ‘stick’ – Pun unintended… and start wishing me a big fat congratulations for something that isn’t warranted,” reports the Mirror.
“This is not now, this was last January. The night before I got on a flight. As if things needed to get more complicated. I only told a handful of people, but I wrote a bit about it in the book and now that it is out there in the big bad world I thought it was easier to share on here than to have anyone question it behind my back.”
“I often find it easier to write this sort of stuff down than to speak about it out loud. And hopefully this will help me process it. Sharing can feel quite liberating.”
She explained that she has “buried” the experience and “hasn’t allowed herself to give it a second thought”. The Made In Chelsea star continued: “In typical Louise fashion, one trauma has been quickly replaced by another swooping in to take my attention. I haven’t even spoken to Ryan about it in much detail either really… but we’ve had our plates full.”
Louis said that her fertility journey “is something she’s only just starting to wrap her head around” three and a half years later following the birth of her son Leo.
“There is a lot I haven’t come to terms with, and I haven’t wanted to until now. I remember my therapist asking me about it a few years ago and she asked whether I was sad about my situation and I just brushed it off. It was all way to soon to start thinking about the idea of more anything when I had so much fixing to do.”
Louise’s health struggles began with a Lupus diagnosis in 2022, a chronic condition that causes joint pain, skin rashes, and debilitating fatigue. At the time, the mother-of-one described her suffering as “intolerable”.
In May 2023, Louise disclosed that she had experienced a life-threatening haemorrhage earlier that year, which required emergency surgery. The terrifying ordeal, which required multiple litres of blood and fluids, happened days before a planned family trip to St. Lucia with her partner Ryan and their son Leo.
