In an interview with This Morning, Corrie star Kym Marsh spoke about her premature baby son’s death in February, and described her grief as “very, very painful”.
Archie Jay was born 18 weeks prematurely and died soon after his birth, which has led Kym to reveal that she’s afraid of becoming pregnant again.
During the interview, Kym said, “You do go home and your body is still doing all the things it would normally do (after giving birth) but you have no baby.
“So it’s very, very hard to try and channel all those feelings somewhere else.
“It’s very difficult… there kind of wasn’t an awful lot of support afterwards, so you just leave with leaflets.
“I obviously haven’t really divulged too much about what happened to me and I don’t intend to do that because that’s something that is still very, very painful for me to talk about.” Read more & comment »

There are over 50 000 babies born prematurely each year in the UK, one of the highest rates in Europe. The numbers are still rising, yet there is currently no accurate screening test available to identify women at risk. Prematurity is the greatest cause of infant death in Britain.

Soap stars Kym Marsh and Jamie Lomas have split up.
The pair dated for 15 months but are said to have found it difficult to recover from the death of their baby son in February.
One friend told The Sun: “His death hit them for six and they were both devastated by it.
“But they had not been together long so they found it hard to deal with. Often couples in that situation have a shared history which helps them get over it – but they didn’t have that.”

Now magazine is reporting that Coronation Street star Kym Marsh broke down and was inconsolable at a friend’s wedding recently.
Kym and her fiancé Jamie Lomas were attending the wedding in Majorca which was around the same time that her son Archie should’ve been born. He was of course born prematurely and died just days afterwards.
A source from the wedding told Now, “Kym just crumpled when she saw all the pregnant women there. It reminded her of losing Archie”
It’s being speculated that perhaps Kym returned to work and tried to get life back to normal too soon after her son’s death. Another source who’s said to be close to Kym is quoted as saying, “She thought it’d be best to come back to the Street and get back into a normal routine.” Read more & comment »

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has told her boyfriend to commit to her properlyor face being dumped.
Kym has been dating Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas for four months but the couple have reportedly been arguing a lot recently, including one very public row at a party last month.
According to Now, a source close to the couple commented that the two are not seeing eye to eye.
“He’s told her to stop being so paranoid, but she’s feeling insecure and just can’t help herself,” said the source.
“Jamie doesn’t do as he’s told. He’s not a lapdog and it means Kym has to get used to not having it all her own way. She’s even been checking his phone, but found nothing. She told friends that she thought she was well within her rights.”
Maybe the Steve-Becky storyline has made her more suspicious in real-life too.
