'i am up against it'
KELLY Brook has revealed she may have left it too late to have children during an appearance on Loose Women.
The 38-year-old, who tragically suffered a miscarriage when she was 30, opened up about putting her career first during a very candid conversation on today’s show.

The star, who is in a long term relationship with Jeremy Parisi, admitted that she would have done things differently if she had thought about it more in her twenties.
She said: “Coming from a working class family, it was very much a case of being independent. Buying my house was the most important thing.
"I spent so much time focused on my career that having a family was so left behind and now I am in my late 30s, I feel like actually I wish I had kind of thought more about having more children earlier.
She continued: "I feel like now I am kind of up against it.

"I've got money, my own home and I've got my independence and all these amazing things, but I don't have children."
“I spent so much time on my career. Having a family was so left behind.”
The star beauty - who lost her first child with the former rugby star Thom Evans in May 2011 at six months pregnant, and later revealed she had a second one in 2014 - didn't feel ready to become a mother when she turned 30, but would have thought differently in hindsight, if she had realised how much harder it can be to get give birth later on.
She said: "I hit 30 and I got pregnant, and I said to myself, right, 'I am not really ready to have children, but this is an amazing opportunity. I hadn't planned to get pregnant, but unfortunately I had a miscarriage very late along the line.

"I just feel like, if I'd known in my 20s how difficult having children in my 30s would be, I think I would have made different choices.
"I think women think you can go through your life and have a baby whenever you want, well some can and some can't.
"And I don't think I really realised that and I got so caught up in my world.
"Now I don't know if I am going to able to carry a baby, I don't know if that is in my future now.
"I do feel, not regret, but I think [I might have done things differently], I just felt I was in that category of work, work, work and all these opportunities. "
Despite her fears, Kelly never wants anyone to pity her, she added:“I love my life. It is not all about having children. You can be happy without children.”

"I don't want it to be like poor me, poor me.
"I did have a bad experience but I've had a lot of great things happen to me. But I am yet to meet a woman who has it all."
Kelly also discussed how she would feel getting married without having her father, Kenneth Parsons, there.
Speaking about her father, who died in 2007, she told the panel: “I would give anything for my dad to be at my wedding and say I looked beautiful.”
She added: "If I was to get married there is that element, I would just do it privately."
