Lisa Snowdon recently opened up about her experience with abortion and loss. The 51-year-old revealed that she had terminated a pregnancy in her 20s and feared she had lost her one chance at becoming a parent.
Years later, Lisa fell pregnant again but sadly suffered a miscarriage just before her presenting slot on LBC morning radio. She explained that she felt her loss was a form of 'punishment' for her decision to have an abortion. She said: "I'd think, 'Was that my chance and it's gone? Is this my punishment? Maybe I don't deserve to be a mother because I did that'".
Lisa also shared how women, including herself, often "add salt to the wound" when they're feeling down and blame themselves or feel shame. However, despite her worries and fears, Lisa eventually found peace in not having children. She said: "When George and I got back together, I said, 'Why don't you and I just go on adventures together?' It immediately took the pressure off".
The star also revealed that she began going through early menopause at the age of 44. Lisa's story is a reminder that it's important to reach out for help and support if you need it.
