Jools, 46, recently spoke to Zoe Clark-Coates, the founder of the Saying Goodbye charity, urging women to speak up about miscarriage.
She told the baby loss advice and support charity that more needs to be done for women who have endured the pain of a miscarriage.
‘Having had five [miscarriages], I know a lot needs to change for other people much younger than me who will go through this.’
Jools has always been public about her miscarriages. She suffered a miscarriage during lockdown – her third miscarriage since she welcomed son River in 2016.
The mother of five also suggested that women should be visited by nurses after losing a child, just as new parents are visited at home by the Health Visitor.
‘You cannot pack someone off and say “Off you go. Go and pass your baby and you’ll be fine”. I don’t know how they can do that, I don’t know why they do that. Why aren’t they calling you everyday and saying “Darling, it’s me I’m your midwife. How much blood loss have you had? How do you feel?”‘
She added: ‘They do when they come to check the health of the baby every day, why can’t they do that with a miscarriage? As it could be fatal.’
Asked about having a sixth child, Jools said: “Once you have these miscarriages you are always like, this baby is meant to be here, I have to keep trying.
“So I have thought about IVF because having researched it and spoken to some amazing people, it seems like the right option for my age.
