Laura Kenny says she's 'scared every day' as she reveals second pregnancy following traumatic year

Olympic cycling champions Dame Laura Kenny and her husband Sir Jason Kenny are expecting their second child following a difficult year, which saw Laura suffer an ectopic pregnancy two months after a miscarriage. The couple, whose first child Albie was born in August 2017, announced the news on Laura's Instagram page.

In a candid post, Laura told her followers she was "filled with all kinds of emotions" as she admitted she was "scared every single day". It comes after the 30-year-old had to have one of her fallopian tubes removed following an ectopic pregnancy, a dangerous condition that occurs when an egg implants itself outside the womb, in January last year. She also lost a baby in November 2021.

Posting a photo of herself in a hospital gown to her Instagram Story, she wrote: “A year ago today I was sat in A&E knowing I was really poorly but not knowing what was wrong with me. When I got the news I was having an ectopic pregnancy my world felt like it crumbled. We had already lost our second baby in November and I remember lying there searching for some sort of answers." Laura said she was still heartbroken, adding: "I don’t think it will ever go away."
