TV presenter Amanda Lamb still grieves for the baby she lost in a 2013 miscarriage and admits the anniversary of the due date is always tough. She is the proud mother of daughters Willow (6) and two-year-old Charlotte, but presenter Amanda Lamb is still heartbroken over the miscarriage she had in 2013. The 43-year-old TV presenter conceived on her honeymoon with cameraman husband Sean McGuinness but the baby died just seven weeks into the pregnancy and Amanda admitted the due date of March 9 is always a tough day for her.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “There isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t think, ‘what would he or she have been like?’. I was due on March 9 and that’s a very poignant day to get through.”

But while Amanda still grieves for her unborn baby, she could not be happier with her family.

Explaining that she got pregnant with Charlotte two months after losing the baby, she said: “If I had gone on to have that baby, maybe I wouldn’t have had Lottie – and she is the most incredible, feisty, funny little hurricane.”

Speaking previously about the miscarriage, Amanda told the Daily Mail: “It was hideous. And, of course, at my age, I was devastated. I thought, ‘That was my last chance. I won’t get pregnant again.’”

Asked if she would like more kids, Amanda said: “The jury’s still out on that one. Part of me would have another one tomorrow. I think sometimes I feel a pang of regret that Sean and I didn’t get together earlier because then maybe we would have had four or five kids by now.

“But then I look at my girls and realise how lucky I am. This is not a life I take for granted, because for a long time I never thought it would happen.”

Amanda’s first marriage to travel writer Mike Carter ended in 2003 and she previously admitted she thought she would never find happiness.

“There was a horrible period in my thirties when I thought I’d be on my own forever,” she admitted. “I went out with a few people – and they were all awful. I remember thinking, “This is it. I am Bridget Jones. I’m going to be one of those women who ends up living with a load of spider plants.”

But she was taken “completely by surprise” when a long-term friendship with cameraman Sean, who she’d met filming “A Place In The Sun”, turned into love. – dailynews.
