Nottinghamshire swimmer Rebecca Adlington has revealed she has sadly suffered a miscarriage this week, 12 weeks into her pregnancy with her third child. The four time Olympic medallist swimmer had planned to return to her hometown of Mansfield today (Saturday, August 27) where she would offer free taster swim sessions to inspire the next generation, but was rushed into emergency surgery earlier this week.
Rebecca and her partner Andy went to the hospital on Tuesday, August 23, where it was discovered she had had a miscarriage and needed emergency surgery. After leaving hospital on Thursday, August 25, she was soon readmitted on Friday but says she is "slowly on the mend."
The swimmer shared a photo on Instagram of her having a cup of tea in hospital. In the post she wrote: "On Tuesday me and Andy went to hospital for our 12 week scan only to discover we’ve had a miscarriage which resulted in emergency surgery.
