Has Laura Kenny had an ectopic pregnancy?

In April 2022, Laura announced she fell pregnant after the 2021 Tokyo Games.

However, in November of the previous year, she miscarried at nine weeks.

After feeling unwell from catching COVID in January, she was rushed into surgery with an ectopic pregnancy.

“Scared doesn’t even come close. I lost a fallopian tube that day,” she shared on Instagram. “I’ve always known I was tough, but sometimes life pushes you to an unbearable limit.”

Laura added on her Instagram Story: “Miscarriage is a lot more common than people realise which is why we have decided to share our heartbreak, to help support others.”

According to the NHS, an ectopic pregnancy is when a “fertilised egg implants itself outside of the womb, usually in one of the fallopian tubes.”
