During the dramatic finale of ITVBe's Drama Queenz, Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter made a surprising announcement - she's pregnant! Fans were thrilled to hear the news about the 36-year-old actress, best known for her role as Theresa McQueen. However, as Jorgie opened up about her pregnancy journey, she also revealed a painful symptom that has been causing her a lot of discomfort.
In a recent update to her followers, Jorgie shared that she has been experiencing what is commonly referred to as 'lightning crotch.' Although it may not be the most technical term, it accurately describes the sharp, shooting pains that can occur in the pelvis, rectum, or vaginal area during pregnancy. Jorgie even uploaded a video of herself wincing in pain to her social media, wondering why this symptom isn't talked about more often.
But this pregnancy hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies for Jorgie. In a heartbreaking turn of events, she and her partner Oliver Piotrowski lost their quadruplets at 14 weeks in 2021. During an episode of Giovanna Fletcher's Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Jorgie opened up about the emotional rollercoaster she went through after finding out that her embryos had stopped developing.
The couple had known that carrying quadruplets came with risks, but they never expected to face such a devastating loss. Jorgie recalled that the doctors and nurses didn't have much to say about quads, as it was a rare occurrence for them. Instead, they turned to Google and were met with extreme outcomes, including losing one or more of the babies or having to terminate the pregnancy.
Jorgie and Oliver refused to give up on their babies and were determined to let nature take its course. However, at three or four months into the pregnancy, they received the heartbreaking news that the embryos had not developed any further and needed to be removed. It was a difficult decision, but Jorgie knew she couldn't bear to take away one or more of her precious quadruplets.
Through all the ups and downs, Jorgie has remained strong and is now eagerly anticipating the arrival of her little one. And while she may be experiencing some uncomfortable symptoms, she couldn't be more excited to become a mom. We wish her all the best on this journey to motherhood.
