Stacey Solomon, a well-known TV personality and former Loose Women star, has shared her concerns about the possibility of entering early menopause. Despite being just 35 years old, she has been feeling unusually tired and irritable, leading her to suspect that menopause might be approaching sooner than expected. Stacey, who is married to ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash and has a blended family with five children, including two from previous relationships, recently discussed her worries with her sister during an episode of their reality show, Stacey & Joe.
During the conversation, Stacey mentioned that early menopause could be hereditary in their family, expressing her feelings of fatigue and mood swings. She also humorously acknowledged the challenges of her busy life, hinting at the possibility of not having more children if indeed she is experiencing menopausal symptoms. Despite her success in the entertainment industry, Stacey hinted at shifting her focus to an animal sanctuary if menopause ends her childbearing years.
In a later segment of the show, Stacey opened up to her personal physiologist about her concerns, describing her feelings of physical and emotional changes. She shared how becoming a mother has heightened her awareness of health and mortality, emphasizing the importance of having a supportive friend like her physiologist.
Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 44 and 53, with symptoms such as anxiety, depression, irregular periods, hot flashes, and mood swings. While Stacey seems content with her current family dynamics, rumors have circulated about the possibility of her and Joe expanding their family further. According to insiders, the couple’s love for children and Joe’s hands-on parenting style could lead to another baby in the future, despite their busy schedules.
