The wife of Coronation Street star Sam Aston has shared how the couple have suffered two heartbreaking miscarriages in four months.
Briony Aston, a hypnobirthing teacher, birth doula, and trainee midwife, shared their double heartbreaking in an open Instagram post.
She shared a picture of a positive pregnancy test that instead read: "Not pregnant anymore." Briony then peened a lengthy caption in which she spoke about her and her soap star husband's recent loss and how she was sharing what had happened in the hope of "breaking the taboo." She wrote: "This is a difficult thing to share, but in the interest of breaking the taboo, I'm miscarrying again, the second time in four months...it's heartbreaking and it's unfair, BUT I'm not seeking sympathy, I feel well supported and want others to feel supported too.
