Paltrow Reveals Miscarriage Nearly Killed Her

Gwyneth Paltrow has revealed that she almost died after miscarrying her third child.

The actress, who has been married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for nearly 10 years, has a daughter, Apple, eight, and son Moses, six.

She has now revealed that she became pregnant for a third time but lost the baby in what she called a "really bad experience".

In an interview with The Mail On Sunday's You magazine, the American star said: "My children ask me to have a baby all the time.

"And you never know, I could squeeze one more in. I am missing my third. I'm thinking about it.

"But I had a really bad experience when I was pregnant with my third. It didn't work out and I nearly died. So I am like, 'Are we good here or should we go back and try again?'.

The 40-year-old Iron Man star gave no details about when the miscarriage occurred.

The Oscar winner admitted that she feels "very broody" when she sees her friend Beyonce Knowles with her one-year-old Blue Ivy, who she described as "totally delish".

She also described Martin as "the best father".

"(Chris) is so good to the children and to know that you had kids with such a good man is a real weight off you," she said.

"We are committed co-parents, we make all the decisions together and lean on each other for support."

Paltrow also spoke about a health scare two years ago which led to her new cookbook It's All Good.

She was in the garden at home in London when she lost control of her right hand and felt a blinding pain in her head.

The actress feared she was having a stroke but it was actually a "horrible migraine" and a panic attack.

After tests revealed a series of issues including a lack of Vitamin D, anaemia, thyroid problems and a congested liver, she decided to take drastic action.

She adopted a 21-day elimination diet that saw her give up items including dairy, eggs, sugar, potatoes and red meat and has stuck to the strict new guidelines ever since because it made her feel so good.
