Emma Bunton wants more children but fears it is too late
Emma Bunton revealed last week she has entered the transition stage before the menopause – and now faces a race against time to have another child.
The Spice girl told the Daily Mail she delayed trying to get pregnant due to the pandemic but 'cried her eyes out' when she discovered it might now be too late to become a mother for a third time.
Describing the symptoms of perimenopause – the body's natural transition towards the menopause –she said: 'I started to feel unbalanced and anxious.’
'At first I put it down to the pandemic. But then the anxiety became more regular, until it was daily.
'I was also lethargic. Something wasn't right. I looked up the symptoms and saw I had quite a few.
'So I spoke to someone on Zoom who came to the same conclusion. I was perimenopausal.'
Ms Bunton, the mother of Beau, 13, and Tate, ten, with long-term partner Jade Jones, added: 'I thought, 'Is this the end?'
'It's been a very weird time. I'm a very mumsy person – when I see my friends' babies, I always become broody. But now I thought, 'OK, this is it.' '
She is now on a low dose of hormone replacement therapy and is undecided about having a third baby.
