Stacey Dooley Reveals Emergency Surgery After Ectopic Pregnancy

Stacey Dooley revealed the emotional and physical challenges she faced after suffering an ectopic pregnancy with partner Kevin Clifton, with whom she shares a daughter born in January 2023. During an episode of her show Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, she tearfully disclosed that last year she experienced an ectopic pregnancy that led to an internal rupture, requiring emergency surgery. She candidly spoke about the difficulty of the situation and the need to consider alternative options for expanding their family. The show featured her staying with Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, Britain's first legally recognized gay father and an advocate for commercial surrogacy, which Stacey does not fully agree with. An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the womb and cannot be saved, posing serious health risks. Stacey's openness sheds light on the struggles of fertility and pregnancy complications, as well as the emotional impact on those affected.
