The former competitive swimmer, 33, shared a lengthy Instagram post detailing how she discovered she had miscarried during a 12-week scan on Tuesday. Adlington said she left the hospital Thursday but was readmitted Friday and treated for sepsis, a kidney infection and a fever. Although she is now “slowly on the mend”, she said it was a “devastating time” for her and her husband. Sharing a picture from hospital holding a cup of tea, Adlington wrote: ‘On Tuesday me and Andy went to hospital for our 12 week scan only to find out we had a miscarriage which led to emergency surgery. I managed to leave the hospital on Thursday only to be admitted again on Friday. “After a day of treating sepsis, kidney infection and fever, I’m slowly on the mend. Long way to go, but I’m in the right place. “I can’t thank the hospitals and staff enough, they have been so supportive. It is such a devastating moment, but important in times like these to remember that we are not alone and have so much support. “andrewparsons5 you have been my rock this week. Same with family and friends. We haven’t been able to work it all out yet, but I know with their support we’ll get through it. “As soon as I get out of the hospital, I’m super grateful to be able to go home and give my 2 little ones the best hugs!” Actress Catherine Tyldesley and Paralympian Ellie Simmonds were among those who posted messages of support.
