Lily Allen Loses Baby 6 Months Into Pregnancy

LONDON — Lily Allen's spokesman says the singer has suffered a miscarriage six months into her pregnancy.

Publicist Murray Chalmers said Monday that "it is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby."

He says Allen and Cooper are asking for privacy at a "deeply distressing time."

Allen announced in early August that she was three months pregnant.

The 25-year-old singer, whose hits include "Smile" and "The Fear," had an earlier miscarriage in 2008.

She has been dating 32-year-old painter and decorator Cooper for more than a year.

It must be hard to lose a child even at about 3 months, but at 6 months, I can't even imagine it.....

I am sure many of us grieve with you, Lily. I had an early mis and a late miscarriage. At that time you were sent home after being checked with a, "..you can always try again and good luck".. no sorry for your loss.. Thankfully we have come to realize there is a need to grieve.. I had a fourth son the following year but I wonder for that baby...

That stinks. I miscarried two children. I never thought I would go the distance. A very sweet woman I hardly knew told me 'Just because the pot spills the water doesn't mean it is broken'. She was so very correct. My son is quite healthy and is about to turn 9.

I grieve for you.

Someone I hardly knew once asked me if I had children. I said no, and she stopped in her tracks, looked me in the eye and said very pointedly, "God has a child for you". I am not a religous person, but it stuck with me. I am sorry for your losses.

This is truly sad. My heart goes out to her. I was 6mos along when I had my 1st child and everything went well. My 3rd, I was 6 mos too...sadly though he passed later that day. I still haven't gotten over it and that
was 30 years ago. Moms never forget.

No, they don't. The hold left in your heart will never go away. I am sorry for the loss of your son.

I am really sorry to hear this. A mother's loss is a great one. I have a cousin who lost her baby at nine months of pregnancy and had to have the baby deceased, and she is still is going through a hard time after seven months. I can only imagine how traumatic that is.

As the poster above said - a mother never forgets. This will be with your cousin forever - no matter what her future holds. And the healing she is able to do will take time.

I too, have a friend who had to deliver a stillborn son. A second friend lost her baby in the 8th month and went into labor. I had 6 1/2 mo mis that year.. We all had sons the following year .. The heartache for the missing baby is always there..

Such a shame. I think Lily is one of the most talented Pop musicians out there today and she seems a genuinely nice lass.

My ex had an ectopic pregnancy and the baby had to be terminated. So I know how it feels to lose a child you were expecting. And my sis had 2 stillbirths due to complications so this topic hits very close to home for me...not only that but Lily is such a cutie. =[

Hang in there Lily...I'll give you another behbeh behbeh....hee hee *^_^*

The loss of a baby is devastating at any time in pregnancy, but second and third trimester stillbirths are life-changing events. I've experienced 6 pregnancy losses in my life, one of which was a second trimester loss of a multiple pregnancy. Giving birth to a baby that will not, or does not, survive is unbelievably traumatic and painful beyond words. I hope she is able to grieve her loss privately for as long as it takes in order for her to find her "new normal" - whatever that is. I've read she was willing to give up everything to be a mother, so I hope she eventually finds the stregth to keep working toward her goal in one way or another.
It's impossible to imagine if you haven't been there, but this is truly heartbreaking news. My heart and sincere condolences to both Lily and her family.

Wow, MDUB. My heart goes out to you. Six?! Such courage and strength. Thanks for sharing that and God bless you...

Thank you.
After 4+ years, it took us 7 pregnancies, an ectopic, a loss of multiples at 6 months, two bouts of preterm labor and me nearly dying twice to bring our amazingly healthy, happy and precious little boy into the world. He came prematurely, but just turned 7 months old and is healthy and happy. We are battle weary and tired, but blessed beyond words and in love with our little man.
