		</div><p>EastEnders star Lacey Turner has said she “felt numb” while pregnant with her daughter Dusty following two previous miscarriages.</p>
<p>The actress welcomed her first child with husband Matt Kay last July.</p>
<p>She told ITV’s Loose Women on Thursday that she was unable to get excited about her pregnancy because of her previous losses.</p>
<p>Turner, 31, said her first miscarriage occurred at seven weeks and <em>“was a massive shock as quite naively I thought, ‘I’m going to have a baby’.”</em></p>

<p>Detailing her heartbreak, she said: <em>“I’d only told my parents and Matt’s parents. Luckily, I didn’t have to tell loads of people that it had gone and it was no longer there, which was a relief actually.</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s so hard, what do you say to people? I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable about it. Although I felt so heartbroken, I just thought ‘I’ll brush that under the rug’… and then you think ‘Next time I’ll be fine.’</em></p>
<p><em>“It’s hard because are you supposed to grieve for something that’s the size of a grain of rice? People believe different things, but for me it was a baby from the minute it was conceived.”</em></p>
<p>On her second miscarriage, she said: <em>“It happened again at exactly the same point, but I sort of felt like I was more prepared this time. I was aware that maybe it might not work, whereas before, I just thought, ‘It’ll work. We’d have a baby.’</em></p>
<p><em>“The second time I had a miscarriage… although I was more prepared, it was more of a kick in the stomach, because it hadn’t worked the second time and I thought, ‘What do I do now? Is there something wrong, is this going to take us years?’”</em></p>
<p>Turner said she saw a private doctor and had tests, and “on paper, everything was fine”.</p>
<p>She said she finally became pregnant a third time, but it “took ages”.</p>
<p>She added: <em>“I put so much pressure on myself to fall pregnant and it was happening.</em></p>

<p><em>“It got to the point where I said to Matt, ‘Let’s just forget it. We’ll get a puppy.’ As soon as we’d said that, we fell pregnant.”</em></p>
<p>Turner told the programme she had a weekly scan throughout her pregnancy with Dusty because she was “so scared”.</p>
<p>She said: <em>“Until you feel kicking, you don’t know if anything is actually there.</em></p>
<p><em>“I always thought, ‘This might not work,’ I just became really laid back about the whole thing. I just felt numb to the whole thing.”</em></p>
<p>Turner is best known for playing Stacey Slater in EastEnders since 2004.</p>
<p>She is also known for turns in Bedlam and Switch, as well as the hit drama series Our Girl between 2013 and 2014.</p>
