Jesus, and I thought I was having a rotten week with my car and phone drama. It was just Monday when Lily Allen and her boyfriend confirmed that they had lost their baby, with only three months left to go in her pregnancy. Sources later claimed that Lily had lost the baby after contracted a viral infection. And now British sources are saying that Lily was just admitted to the hospital under fears she may have septicemia, which is basically blood poisoning, or a blood infection (the extent of my medical knowledge is House – correct me if I’m wrong, doctors). Septicemia can be fatal. Poor Lily:
LILY ALLEN was rushed to hospital by ambulance on Friday night (05Nov10) to be treated for potentially fatal blood-poisoning condition septicemia, just days after suffering a miscarriage.
The Smile hitmaker was devastated when she lost her baby son last weekend (29-31Oct10), six months into her pregnancy by boyfriend Sam Cooper. Allen has been recovering at her home and on Friday (05Nov10) afternoon she thanked her fans for their messages of support, revealing she was still feeling ill following the miscarriage. She wrote on Twitter.com, “I’m still very sick but the messages are helping me to be stronger.”
But just hours after writing the message, the singer’s condition worsened and she was taken to hospital to be checked for the bacterial infection, reports Britain’s Daily Mail.
A source tells the publication, “Lily had been recuperating at home with Sam and her family, but she has been taken back to hospital and is getting the best care possible at the moment. Everyone is extremely concerned, but she is in the best place and luckily she was admitted quickly. Lily needs time to recover in privacy.”
Further details about Allen’s condition were not known as WENN went to press.

Thoughts and prayers to Lily. This is just awful. Hopefully, the doctors will take good care of her, and she’ll take the time off and get some real rest, and come back as strong as ever.

I think she is in a stable condition according to online news but hopefully she will make a quick recovery
That is just awful. As if she had not been through enough already.
Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Poor girl. Must have been hard for her losing her baby. Especially being 6 mos along. You are past the most delicate trimester and think you are in the clear to enjoy your pregnancy. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her and we hope she gets better.
Prayers for her. I had this happen to me after a second trimester loss also. She must feel totally overwhelmed. When it happened to me, I was put on a cycle of 3 different strong IV antibiotics for a couple of days in the hospital after having a D&C. Scary stuff.
Prayers for her comfort and peace.
That poor woman. I’m truly upset for her. I really hope she will be ok.
When my kids were 6 and 2 years old, I had to deal with a tubal pregnancy… it was one of the sadest times of my life because they had to interrupt. Imagining how this would feel after 6 months pregnancy is just heartbreaking. I always KNEW that we would have had a second daughter. It is awful.
Thoughts and prayers to you, Lily. Wishing you the very best in this sad times.
Very sad story all around. I hope she’ll be ok.
Really really sad period for her, so awful
This poor girl, I feel so bad for her.
Poor Lily. I am a huge fan of both her and her music. I suffered a miscarriage 2 months ago (1st trimester) and am still dealing with the loss. To go through the devastation twice is a terrifying prospect. I hope she gets well soon and finds the love and happiness she is looking for.
Praying for a speedy recovery.
On a completely different note, this is the second article today to use the name Jesus in a derogatory way. If you are calling out Vince Vaughn for using gay in a negative manor, maybe using the name Jesus in a negative manor should be looked at also.
@cherryberry I had two losses before I had two beautiful daughters. Don’t give up. My girls are 8+9 yrs, both big and strong. You never know what will happen. Always believe.x
Nothing but love goes out to her.My heartbrakes for her. God be with her and family.
Sepsis is a very bad situation . I hope she will be ok. Such a devastating loss to her and her boyfriend
Ooh, sepsis is a very dangerous condition. I’m rooting for her and her family.
A friend of mine lost her baby, at 38 weeks gestation, so this hits a little closer to home. I cannot imagine what Lily and Sam are going through right now. My thoughts are with them.
Wow. :/ I feel for her as well, I’ve been there too :/…I hope she recovers well and may she have the blessing to conceive again and a successful pregnancy for the next time.
Such a heart wrenching story. Now that I have my own munchkin, I couldn’t fathom even going through something like this. Hoping for a speedy recovery.
I was hospitalized at the end of April for acute peritonitis (perforated ulcer), and I contracted septicemia and nearly died. Then, when I was in in-patient rehab (muscular atrophy–I’d been in bed for 2 months at that point), my immune system was shot, so I caught bronchitis, which led to pneumonia, and nearly died again. I was hospitalized for a total of 4 months, which also caused some depression. I can’t imagine a miscarriage (much less for a second time!) on top of all of that. Poor, poor girl.
God, everyone I’ve ever known who lost a baby after five months had to go through labor. What a nightmare, especially in this day and age where there are babies who survive at 24, 25, 26 weeks. Poor, poor Lily.
There are no words that can help dull the pain of the loss of a child, for Lily or anyone who has suffered such tragedy. To Lily, and to all mothers and fathers who had to experience such sorrow, I’m so sorry.
OMG, this poor woman. The loss of a child, and now she is gravely ill. Septicemia could kill her depending on the nature of the infection (namely, the bacteria), although it sounds like her docs were on top of it. But seriously, we need to think positive thoughts and pray and do whatever it takes as her fans to help her pull through.
She loses her baby and now this? Poor lady. I wish her a speedy recovery.
People seem to either nto know or forget just how vulnerable a woman is during pregnancy. Which is why I NEVER enjoy hearing about how wonderful it is in celebrity interviews. They almost never highlight the facts of pregnancy. So young people will all assume that pregnancy is just the beautiful brilliant event when in reality it can be life or death.
Lilly might not die but she might wish she was dead right now. She was too far along not to be completely emotionally attached. I dont even think there is a point where start being attached. But in her case I don’t really think she really cares anymore.
Wow how sad I hope she has a speedy recovery.
How awful! Sometimes things happen for a reason even if it makes no sense now, I just hope things change for her.
How awful! I’m really saddened by this
poor girl. i hope she takes the time off she needs to sort through all this and get healthy again.
I’m so beyond sad for her.
What does an English home have to do with anything, Tammy?
There must have been a piece of the placenta left after she gave birth. I had a really bad infection after my son was born. I had to be on antibiotics on a drip for three days. I thought I was ok until a few years later when I tried to get pregnant again, I ended up with a tubal pregnancy because the previous infection had damaged my tubes. I now have two more kids. But its amazing how a woman’s body puts up with pregnancy, childbirth and how it heals itself. Women in general bash their bodies because of low self-esteem (Iam too guilty of this). When really when it comes down to it- we really are amazing in a physical sense.
P.S my obgyn told me that the closet a woman is to death without illness is when she is giving birth.
I hope Lily gets better soon and takes time to take of herself. Hugs*
Septicemia can be a really big deal, even with modern antibiotics. I’m glad to hear she’s in good hands, and they’re taking it seriously.
Lily’s been in my thoughts a great deal since her latest loss was announced the other day. I have been where she is. I delivered a baby at 24 weeks (1 lb, 8 oz) who survived and did well against all odds, then we lost a baby, and went on to have 2 uneventful pregnancies that resulted in twins and a singleton. So, even though my early pregnancies were pretty scary and full of loss, I have 4 healthy kids.
I hope and pray that Lily goes on to have healthy pregnancies and children, too. (((((Lily)))))
I really feel for her. She has been through so much and I was really excited that she was pregnant again. Whole family is in my thoughts and prayers. Just hope she can recover from this major setback.
We are all with you Lily!
i am so so so sad and sorry for her.
I typically don’t post, but discovered this text of great worth, Thank you Author
There is a message on Lily Allen’s twitter page that says..(quote) This has nothing to do with me..no morning sickness today. No mention of thanking her fans for support on either her myspace or twitter page “im writing this several days after the news broke, you do the math….
