Wife of England cricketer James Anderson says midwife asked for his autograph during miscarriage
Lancashire ace, James, was at a Test match in India when he learned of the harrowing news
THE wife of England cricketer James Anderson claims a midwife asked for an autograph during her miscarriage.
Daniella said the request during the loss of her son at 13 weeks was "deeply inappropriate".
Lancashire and England ace, James, was at a Test match in India when he learned of the harrowing news.
Daniella told TV show Soul Tears, on TBN UK, how the cricketer, 36, was “absolutely devastated” by the loss.
She added: “The midwife was asking for James’s autograph while I was in the middle of losing our baby. It was deeply inappropriate.”
Daniella also thinks men struggle with miscarriage because “they don’t have the same hormones”.
She added: “We talked a lot. He is a really sensitive soul and he was really upset.”
Daniella suffered the miscarriage before their two daughters, Lola, nine, and Ruby, eight, were born.
It took her about eight months to recover physically.
Bowling legend James said the loss made him feel "useless as a husband”.
The pair met in a nightclub in 2004 and that it was love at first sight.

They were engaged within a year and married in 2006 in Manchester.
She added: "I know I have a beautiful family now, beautiful kids. But we constantly deal with the heartbreak. It will always be there."
Daniella was interviewed by her good friend Zoe Clark-Coates who is the host and executive producer of the TV show Soul Tears which airs on TBN UK. She opened up in the hope it would help others who have gone through baby loss feel less alone. Daniella is trying to raise awareness for one of the UK's leading baby loss support charities .
