UPDATE: |Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha on no longer grieving as she shares trauma News

The star opened up about her process of healing after suffering from miscarriages

Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha opened up to Myleene Klass about how she no longer “grieves” due to all of the “traumatic things” that have happened to her.

This week, it was Nadia and Myleene’s turn to co-host Loose Women: The Podcast. Every week two new members of the ITV panel show will sit down and tackle subjects close to their hearts.

During the latest episode, Myleene shared the red flags she noticed before her first wedding and the power of vulnerability. The stars also listened to one another as they opened up about the emotional impact of baby loss.

Nadia said: “I’ve had lots of traumatic things happen in my life, like so many people have, but I feel very much healed in all of them. One of which is the miscarriages that I had and I’ve always said, and I know this isn’t the same for everybody that’s had a miscarriage, but when Kiki was born… So, when my youngest was born, I was just like, I felt instantly healed of my miscarriages.

“It’s not the same for all people and it was so strange, it felt to me like just the same soul had been trying to come through and then she came through, right? So, I never get upset when I talk about my miscarriages, I don’t. I feel very healed.”

Nadia then opened up about her recent experience of the Rosen Method. This focuses on releasing tension within the body, often resulting in emotional outcomes.

She added: “I started to sob… I said, it’s my last miscarriage – which I’d had at home that I’d delivered, that my husband had been there, my husband sobbing – and I just couldn’t stop crying. I was just like, ‘I didn’t know I felt this. I didn’t know that I had this still in me’.

Nadia later continued: “I honestly said, ‘I don’t feel grief anymore, I feel healed’. But of course, I’m not at all. It was just there but I haven’t cried, I haven’t talked about it for so long.”

Myleene Klass also suffered from four miscarriages which she discussed in her 2021 TV series, Myleene: Miscarriage and Me.

Nadia asked: “Did it take you a long time to feel it or were you grief stricken straight away?” to which Myleene replied: “It was instantaneous for me because I was just so in it all the time.

“I think what you can’t be when you’ve got young children, because I was pregnant and losing babies for four years, so one thing you can’t do with children is you can’t hold them off forever. They’re in the moment, they’re in the now, and everything’s immediate. So, it just felt like everything was just happening all at once.”

Myleene went onto discuss a heartbreaking story as she added: “I remember my girlfriend who had a six month old baby, and I get where she’s at now, but she put the baby in my arms and I just froze. Her thinking was, look at this beautiful baby, I love this baby so much, it’s going to comfort you, I know it.

“The feeling of my arms was just, this is what I haven’t got. I haven’t got it. I knew this wasn’t my baby, I didn’t hold this against her, I just couldn’t hold the baby. I remember Sim [my partner] coming along. He just saw what was going on actually, that’s where he did actually pick up on the signals and just took the baby.”

Nadia responded: “But it’s hard to advise people, isn’t it? When do you say the right thing? When do you talk? Because everybody is so different, some people want to talk about it all the time. I know that I got sad at points when it felt like nobody wanted to talk about it, but then they were picking up that maybe I didn’t want to talk about.”
