Scarlett Moffatt opened up about the miscarriage during Friday's episode of I'm A Celebrity, according to multiple reports. She and her fiancé Scott Dobinson experienced the loss in 2024, though the exact date and how far along she was in the pregnancy have not been disclosed. According to Daily Mail - Home, Moffatt described mourning the loss of a life she imagined, saying it happened after they had told people about the pregnancy and were excited.
She also expressed gratitude for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Durham hospital, stating on social media that she was grateful for their help and support during that time. The specific medical complications leading to the miscarriage and what support she received afterward remain unknown. Moffatt gave birth to her son Jude in 2023, multiple reports indicate.
After Jude was born, we tried again and got quite far on and miscarried and it was just... I remember Scott's mum and dad took Jude for the day, and me and Scott just laid in bed crying.
He was born at 35 weeks and 5 days, a month early, as Moffatt noted on social media. After birth, Jude had hypoglycemia, low blood sugars, and jaundice, according to multiple reports. According to Daily Mail - Home, Moffatt described how she lost about one and a half litres of blood during delivery, making her woozy, and that Jude required immediate attention for his conditions.
The impact of this experience on Moffatt's career or public engagements has not been confirmed.
You imagine them running downstairs at Christmas together. You like... imagine it, you know. It is hard. It's awful.
When you lose a baby in that way, you're sort of mourning a life that you imagined. It's just really sad.
We have to just be so grateful that we've got ours, do you know what I mean?
We had a miscarriage after Jude. It happened quite late on. We had told people [about the pregnancy] and we were really excited.
We had talked about what life would be like, how they would run down the stairs together as siblings at Christmas, so you mourn the loss of that and the life you imagined.
I was lying in bed with Scott one day, and I said: 'I just don't think I can handle the heartbreak any more. I think we should stop. We've got Jude, so let's enjoy him'.
Anyone that goes through that, my heart breaks for them, and I just think it's so brave when people then continue the journey because it is soul-destroying.
One of the things I really didn't want when you do a birthing plan was a blood transfusion but I lost, like yeah, I think it was like one and a half litres of blood.
So I was really woozy, and I said [to my husband] 'Please go with him' [the baby] and then he had hypoglycemia.
He had low blood sugars, he had jaundice, and I sort of wheeled myself down to NICU and Scott was like 'What are you doing woman, get in bed'.
It's NICU awareness month. Some of you may know Jude was my little miracle baby, who surprised us super early at just 35 weeks and 5 days, a whole month early.
I'm always so grateful to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Durham hospital for all their help & support during that time, especially Helen (pictured here) and Charlotte!
