The couple previously opened up about having two tragic miscarriages within four months of each other.
Sam and his Briony said they were expecting twins, but unfortunately lost one due to Vanishing Twin Syndrome.
In a new interview, they shared their joy about the pregnancy, stating that it was “very bittersweet.”
Briony told Ok! magazine: ‘We were excited and grateful because we always wanted to have a healthy baby. Then we started thinking,
“We could have had two… The living twins will always wonder, ‘What if?’ and will they feel lonely?’ We wondered what could have been, while being grateful for what we have.”
Their sad loss was due to a condition called Vanishing Twin Syndrome, which occurs when a fetus stops growing and the mother’s body absorbs the embryo.
Sam and Briony were told she was pregnant with non-identical twins after a midwife discovered the remaining amniotic sac during an ultrasound.
Briony said: ‘If we hadn’t had the early scan I wouldn’t have even known. But it does explain why I was so sick and tired this time compared to my other pregnancies.
During a TV appearance in August, Briony opened up about her previous miscarriage heartbreak on Loose Women.
She appeared on the show with her actor husband after opening up in July about how she suffered two miscarriages within just four months of each other.
On the chat show, she bravely shared that neither pregnancies reached 12 weeks and that although it was difficult, other women sharing their stories helped her heal.
As for why she decided to share the news of her losses, she said, “It would have been so much harder for me without listening to other people’s stories.”
“I had a hundred hundred messages sharing their similar experiences. I felt very happy that I had done it. There is support there and that’s how I knew I wasn’t alone.’
