Pretty Little Liars star Tammin Sursok reveals heartbreaking details of her life-threatening miscarriage

Tammin Sursok has revealed the harrowing details of a miscarriage she suffered in 2017.

The Australian actress, 41, who lives in Nashville, Tennessee, took to Instagram with a heartbreaking video about the terrifying ordeal.

Tammin now shares two children with her partner Sean McEwen and suffered her first miscarriage in 2016, but said the miscarriage she suffered the following year was ‘bad’.

‘I had a serious miscarriage in 2017. “I went for a routine check-up at 13 weeks and was told there was no heartbeat,” Tammin began her video.

She then shared snippets of her ultrasound scans, one of which was from the day she discovered her unborn child was not alive.

“I have bad news for you,” the doctor said in the video before it cut out.

Tammin continued: “I started bleeding heavily and was admitted so I could receive medical intervention to resolve my pregnancy.

‘Without the quick action of my doctors and medical team, I’m not sure I would be here as a mother [sic] to two beautiful daughters.’

The actress then started showing clips of herself spending time with her daughters, Phoenix, 11, and Lennon, five, who she shares with husband Sean.

Interspersed among the happy snaps were videos of Tammin crying as she revealed the news of her miscarriage to her followers.

“What’s happening now to women’s health care in America is terrifying,” Tammin captioned the videos.

‘In fourteen states, including Texas and Georgia, the government must evaluate and choose how sick you have to be to receive medical care.

“A Texas mother died last week after waiting 40 hours for a miscarriage.”

Tammin now shares two children, Phoenix and Lennon (both pictured) with her partner Sean McEwen. She had her first miscarriage in 2016, but said the one she suffered the following year was “bad.”

Tammin further claimed that another 30,000 women had reported their near-death experiences while waiting for medical attention for their miscarriages.

The former Home and Away star previously recalled a dream she had after her second miscarriage.

In 2021, she revealed in a candid Instagram post that she had a “vivid dream” about having a baby after losing her unborn child.

‘I remember after my second miscarriage I had a dream. It was so vivid it felt so real. I remember holding a baby,” she wrote.

‘She had dark raven curls and big brown eyes. I rocked her gently and whispered, “Hi honey, I’m your mommy.”

She continued, “When I finally got pregnant [with Phoenix]I found it difficult to connect with my pregnancy. I was too scared.

“When the doctors removed her from my stomach by caesarean section and placed her on my chest, she looked exactly like the baby from my dream.”

Tammin went on to say, “Wherever you are in your pregnancy/fertility journey, know that there is always hope, even when it feels hopeless.”

“I look at her now and I know she was meant to be here. My little girl with big brown eyes and raven hair from my dreams,” she finished.

Tammin welcomed her second child, daughter Lennon Bleu, in January 2019. She also shares daughter Phoenix with husband Sean.
