Apparently she has had a miscarriage, how very sad

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7195477.stm

Gutted for her.  I think shes fab.

Always sad when someone goes through this, awful

Aww thats awful. I really like this girl. Can't wait for her new album though.

It is, but the way I look at it something was 'wrong' so nature took care of it. Better that than having to make a terrible decision  later on. Apparently stats are 1 in 3 pregnancies miscarry.

Sad news, but she is still shit and needs a slap around the head

 :oxford:

Sad to hear that. As much as i hate her and her exuse for music i wouldn't wish it on anyone.

i like lily, she's feisty.

i was very sorry to hear this news earlier today.

i would like to wish her and her partner all the best, on behalf of the town end forum.

Not a fan of her or her work, but I certainly know exactly the feelings and emotions that both she and her partner are experiencing right now, and I wouldn't wish them on anybody. Good luck Lily, chin up love.

Shocking, 1 in 3, fuck me thats tragic

thats truth

My ex is a midwife and some of the stories she told were heartbreaking

Seriously I had no idea, jesus weep

The thing is, its not something you ordinarily think about, and its certainly not something that's a headline grabber unless it happens to someone famous like Lily. The stats are incredibly high, and thats based only on those reported through a GP or specialist. I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers were much higher in all honesty.

I really don't know what Lily's going through (as I'm not and never have been female), but I've been there and done that with the wife, and it ranks up there as one of the most distressing experiences of your life. Especially when you and your significant other want kids so desperately.

pumbaa is absoloutly correct unfortunately

what is also shocking and even more heartbreaking is the ratio of stillborns

*shudders and cries*

....and on the flip side you see 16 year old chavs with their prams and a young baby which was a mistake with no sign of the father at all. Then to reward them for being stupid slags we give 'em a house.

Life is Brilliant!!

It isnt always as cut and shut DV, if you wanna come meet some young women who have made a mistake and then have to live with it for the rest of their lives living on the breadline while wanting to change their lives I will show you, it might make you open your eyes a bit.

Saying that how creating a life is a mietake is beyond me

Here here. All life is precious, no matter how the person has been brought into the world.

Whilst im aware its not as cut and dry as that....

.....you see all these people with children they probably didnt plan or want....and then you've got a loving married couple who for whatever reason cant have kids....

Bushey's right, its not always as clear cut as you'd like to think.

What pisses me off are those who have no real desire to have kids, but just see them as a fashion accessory, and those who have so many they can't look after them properly. I have examples of both in my extended family, and it annoys me so much when Rach and I have struggled so much with no end product, and at vast personal expense.

But, as they say, thats life. You play the hand you're dealt and get on with it.

agreed 100% my sister had major problems, then tried other ways, gota  boy in teh end after 20k worth of cost and years of heartbreak, they hope to have a 2nd but my word they dont take that for granted.

Hope you and rach get there in the end mate

It won't happen. We've been through four IVF cycles, all failed. No good reason why either. That said, when you go into the procedures, you know the success rates are still down around the 30% rate - which in itself is staggering once you understand the care and attention to detail the process involves. Frankly, we've decided that we can't deal with the physical (on her part, my bits fairly straightforward and pleasurable) and emotional torment any more.

As soon as we get home, we'll be starting adoption procedures - its now our mission in life to give some children who have had a difficult start in life through no fault of their own a loving a stable home and upbringing. Its our calling, if you like....

I havent met you but FAIR PLAY FELLA my parents adopted two, teh stories they tell are beautiful.  I will PM you something

Let me take you by the hand and lead through the streets of london...
