Candice Warner reveals tragic miscarriage
Candice Warner has revealed she suffered a tragic miscarriage shortly after the ball-tampering scandal involving her husband David Warner erupted.
News.com.au reports the incident occurred just one week after the tearful press conference where her husband apologised to the nation for his role.
The 33-year-old one-time ironwoman shared the revelation with the Australian Women’s Weekly, describing it as a, “a heartbreaking end to a horror tour”.
“I called Dave to the bathroom and told him I was bleeding. We knew I was miscarrying. We held one another and cried,” she told the Australian Woman’s Weekly.
“The miscarriage was a heartbreaking end to a horror tour. The ordeal from the public humiliations to the ball tampering had taken its toll and, from that moment, we decided nothing will impact our lives like that again.”
“I was beginning to feel that first stage of being pregnant — the subtle changes to my body were kicking in. We were overwhelmed, knowing another little Warner was on the way,” Ms Warner told the Women’s Weekly.
“I don’t think either of us realised how much we longed for this baby. We had been trying since last July and I did a test when we first got to Cape Town.”
News.com.au reports Ms Warner said the 23-hour flight home from South Africa and the media awaiting the family at Sydney Airport only added to the stress.
“We got the longest and tough route. No one knew I was pregnant and Dave did everything to get me home safely, fearing any more strain could affect our unborn child,” she said.
Ms Warner also added that she was a spiritual person.
“I truly believe it wasn’t their time to be with us,” she said.
