Charlotte Crosby's devastation after silent miscarriage: 'We spent the journey home crying'

Charlotte Crosby has revealed she's suffered a heartbreaking silent miscarriage.

The Geordie Shore star and mother of two, 36, shared her experience in a candid Instagram post, revealing she and fiancé Jake Ankers found out she was pregnant in March before losing the baby.

Crosby shared her post, including photos of herself in hospital, with a 'trigger warning' and said the pregnancy was a "really big shock."

A silent miscarriage occurs when the fetus has stopped developing, but there are no signs.

The British reality star explained she had a six-week scan and "the room was very silent," but nurses assured her it might have just been too early to have a scan.

She said she then had a two-week wait before a next scan, which revealed the silent miscarriage.

"The two week wait was the longest of my life! It felt like it was going in slow motion. I held onto hope but my intuition was saying otherwise," she wrote.

"I went to London for my next scan where it was confirmed I had a silent miscarriage… Jake and I were devastated," she said.

"Truly a pain and devastation that hurt so much. I was booked in to have an operation to empty the uterus.

"We spent the journey home crying and holding each other so tight."

Crosby said Ankers was right by her side through it all.

"I woke up with Jake by my side! With some bad cramping pains and bleeding! I spent a few more hours in hospital until I recovered and then we went home," her post continued.

"A part of me was relieved this was all over… sad but very relieved I didn't have to worry anymore".

Crosby, however, added that she's grateful for her family, writing: "Although this experience has been so sad I feel incredibly lucky to have my two girls!"

"It's left me knowing we 100 per cent want to grow our family and hopefully we will be lucky enough to have a successful pregnancy again.

"I always wanted to share my story to raise awareness on silent miscarriages, if I even made just one person feel less alone I would have felt I'd done well!"

Crosby rose to fame on Geordie Shore back in 2011 and fans will remember she had an on and off relationship with co-star Gaz Beadle.

She got engaged to Ankers in late 2023 after he proposed in Dubai.

They are parents to daughters Alba, three, and Pixi, one.
