Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown Findlay became emotional as she bravely opened up about her four miscarriages.
Findlay revealed she had three miscarriages before their children’s birth and one several months ago.
The Playing Nice star cried as she detailed how Heath helped her cope after their latest miscarriage.
Findlay opened up about her fertility journey during a chat with Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.
"Before the boys were born, I had three [miscarriages],” she said.

“I had two with conceiving unaided and one chemical miscarriage that happened with IVF that we knew was going to happen because the bloods had come back with really low numbers,” Findlay went on.
“They do a blood test and they want to see this number double, and it just wasn't. And then one happened about two and a half months ago."
The actress had learned that she was pregnant again and just before going to a friend’s wedding she was overcome with a feeling that she was going to lose her unborn child.
"[I felt] this kind of intuition. This sense of dread, this real kind of thing that you just know," she recalled.
"And I thought, instead of me going to this wedding and googling wild theories and signs at 3am when I should be celebrating with our friends, I'm going to book myself in.
“I went the next morning and I went for a scan, and there wasn't a heartbeat anymore. I was obviously devastated.”
Findlay wiped away tears as she revealed Heath met her after the appointment and they went for lunch and a long walk around London as they processed their feelings over the losses.

“I know this sounds really strange... we had this very romantic, very very beautiful day. [Heath] made me laugh, he made me feel so beautiful,” she said.
“I’ve never known anyone who can honestly be in deep feelings of sadness and still find joy. He doesn't push it away and try to pretend evereything’s fine, he’s just a real, deeply kind person.
“We sat there and we laughed and he just made me feel that it was okay and that actually, maybe something else amazing might happen.”
She joked tearfully: “ And you know, two is a lot! Twins are a lot.”
Findlay and Heath welcomed their boys, whose names they haven’t revealed, on Bonfire Night in 2022.
She confirmed her pregnancy by showing off her baby bump at the Venice International Film Festival just two months before.
