The star posted a caption reminding her followers that “their bodies are not the enemy,” adding: “Happy International Women’s Day! We do hard things and then we go dancing.
“IVF has made me even more aware of all that women are capable of and what we can achieve while going through pain and heartbreak.
Your body is not the enemy. I’m lovin ‘it. It does not matter that. Sending love and support to all the women I’ve ever met and all the ones I haven’t, but know what this is.
Jessica married Heath in a low-key wedding in 2020 with just 30 guests due to Covid restrictions, three years after they met on the Hulu drama Harlots.
Last week she revealed that she was struggling to find a job after getting pregnant.
Her acting career took off when she played the rebellious aristocrat Lady Sybil Crawley in Downton Abbey.
She said: ‘I was hoping to work this side of having babies more, but you can’t. It is very difficult to insure pregnant women on set, and since Covid it has become even more difficult because you are considered to be at even greater risk.”

Miss Brown Findlay said that even her voice-over work has dried up. She told The Sunday Times Culture magazine: ‘It’s shocking.’
She also spoke of the ‘crushing shame’ she felt when private nude photos of her surfaced online in an iCloud leak in 2014.
The actress said the incident would have been dealt with differently if it had happened after the #MeToo movement in 2017.
It added: “The women would not have lost job opportunities and would not have been traded on the dark web for a month before being leaked to the public because bodies are commodities.”

Jessica currently stars opposite Anthony Welsh in the Paramount+ romantic comedy series The Flatshare, adapted from Beth O’Leary’s global bestseller.
The series follows Leon (Welsh) and Jessica (Findlay) as they share a one-bed flat but have never met due to their opposite work schedules.
But, as Post-it notes between them start to fly and each finds themselves unexpectedly drawn into the other’s messy life, an attraction arises.
