Stacey Dooley was emotional as she shared her experience of an ectopic pregnancy with her husband, Kevin Clifton. The 38-year-old documentary maker, who is a mother to daughter Minnie with the Strictly Come Dancing professional, disclosed details of her difficult journey on her recent TV series.
In the latest season of Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, Stacey visited Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, Britain’s first legally recognized gay father, who advocates for commercial surrogacy. During her stay, Stacey expressed her differing views from Barrie’s desire for his children to be attractive.
In a heartfelt moment, Stacey revealed her struggle to expand her family with Kevin. Recounting her ectopic pregnancy experience, she mentioned the complications that led to emergency surgery and the subsequent need to consider other options for growing their family.
According to the NHS, an ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the womb, often in a fallopian tube, making it impossible to save the pregnancy. Statistics show that 1 in 90 pregnancies in the UK are ectopic.
Earlier this year, Stacey candidly discussed the challenges she faces as a mother. In a podcast appearance, she acknowledged the impact of having her daughter sleep in their bed on her intimate relationship with Kevin, but expressed contentment with their current situation.
