‘One of my proudest achievements’ Myleene Klass turns the ‘pain of miscarriages into power’ after campaign

Myleene Klass has said she has ‘turned the pain of four miscarriages into power’ after the Government announced it will be implementing the changes for which she has spent four years campaigning.

Klass, who is an advocate for women’s health, has been backing changes to the Women’s Health Strategy in Parliament. One of these changes was to ensure women will not have to suffer up to three miscarriages before receiving help.

The former Hear’say singer has first-hand experience of these issues, having suffered four miscarriages. On Saturday (July 22), the Department of Health and Social Care announced a package of new measures to “boost the health and wellbeing of women and girls.

The 45-year-old hailed the changes as “one of my proudest achievements” because women will no longer go through the miscarriage “hell” she suffered. Her journey was looked at in her Bafta-nominated film Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me

She said: “As a result of having to live through this nightmare, I’ve turned the pain into power and so much good has come from it.

“My daughter calls them her angel brothers and sisters, it’s like they’ve got a voice. I didn’t want to go through this but I’ve managed to find something that means that so many will benefit from it.

“I think that this is something that I owed to myself all those years ago, every time I lost another baby and didn’t know where to go, I never knew that this is where it would lead me.I think a lot of people lose heart with campaigning, but I couldn’t give up because I’d started it.”
