Tana Ramsay reflects on ‘shocking’ premature birth of ‘vulnerable’ twins Jack and Holly
Tana Ramsay has reflected on the premature birth of her twins Jack and Holly, now 20, while sharing sweet snaps of her children when they were younger.
Gordon Ramsay’s wife Instagrammed precious snaps of Jack and Holly as newborns and another of them as fully dressed toddlers, as she opened up to fans about her worries following the premature birth.
Tana and Gordon welcomed Jack and Holly prematurely in 2000 and she admits it was ‘shocking’ at first.
Opening the Instagram post with a flashback, Tana revealed: ‘Every Christmas our family looks back on the year – remembering when we went to Jack and Holly’s first Christmas, it was particularly emotional’.
She continued: ‘The development of a premature baby is incredibly scary as it’s an uncertain start and you want to see them grow and develop but don’t want to miss those first moments.’
Commenting on how far her two children have come since those early days, Tana shared with her followers: ‘Watching them grow into chubby, healthy babies in their first year has been such a blessing and I will always be grateful for the determination they’ve shown and their strong personalities.’
‘Although over time they’ve definitely given me a lot of fights,’ she joked, before adding on a more serious note: ‘But this is exactly what I wished for when they were lying in their incubators looking so fragile.’
She shared her post in partnership with baby brand Pampers UK, which aims to raise funds for neonatal units.
Tana, 46, has five children with celebrity chef husband Gordon; Megan, 22, Jack and Holly, 20, Matilda, 19, and one-year-old son Oscar.
Oscar was born in 2018, two years after Tana suffered a miscarriage in 2016.
She was recently seen praising Chrissy Teigen for publicly sharing that she lost her third child – a baby boy called Jack – at 20 weeks pregnant, after experiencing complications.
Speaking to Metro.co.uk about her own miscarriage experience, Tana said: ‘To be honest, when it happened to me, I found it really hard for people to talk to me and not talk about it because it was like it never happened.
‘All I wanted to do was talk about it with my friends, with my family, with anyone who asked me about it because it was so hard. You go from having a baby kicking in your belly to suddenly it’s not there anymore, and it’s a really difficult experience.’
