Missy Bo Kearns says Aston Villa doctors probably saved her life after miscarriage

• Midfielder went through ‘four days of hell in hospital’

• Hopes her talking will stop others ‘suffering in silence’

Missy Bo Kearns has described experiencing “a different type of grief” after having a miscarriage last month. The Aston Villa midfielder had announced her pregnancy just over two weeks before sharing the tragic loss of her and her partner Liam Walsh’s baby.

Speaking to ITV News, the 25-year-old said she thought she was experiencing symptoms from the pregnancy on 18 March when she was shaking and had a temperature of 42C but Aston Villa team doctor, Dr Jodie Blackadder-Weinstein, told her she needed to call Walsh and get to hospital.
