From 2011 to 2022, Little Mix was one of the biggest girl groups in the world, namely in the UK. After forming on The X Factor and becoming the first group (and only girl group) to win the UK singing competition, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson created countless iconic songs, music videos, and more.

Brunson, to talk about her career so far, especially growing up and going through big milestones in the public eye. We Need to Talk / Via youtu.be While she talked about her very public relationship with Zayn during his One Direction days, one of the biggest moments from the very open and honest conversation was her talking about pregnancy loss, as well as dealing with public speculation that she was pregnant. Mike Marsland / WireImage / Getty Images Kicking off the conversation, Paul asked about how Perrie has had to deal with pregnancy speculation by fans and the media, with both him and Perrie praising a recent Glamour UK article - which was liked by Perrie, Jade, and Leigh-Anne on Instagram - that was originally titled, "The Perrie Edwards Pregnancy Speculation Needs to Stop." We Need to Talk / Via youtu.be "You can look at it two ways, I guess, with the whole pregnancy thing," Perrie began. "It's a blessing. It's beautiful. People love pregnant women, and they kind of just want to be like, 'You're pregnant. You're glowing.' But at the same time, it's a very vulnerable thing for women. It's a very private thing for women." JMEnternational / JMEnternational for BRIT Awards / Getty Images Alluding to the Glamour UK article, she continued, saying, "If you speculated one of your friends was pregnant, you wouldn't shout it on their Facebook or their Instagram and be like, 'Oh my god, you're pregnant!' You just wouldn't do it for everyone to see, I don't think. I think we kind of have to navigate it a bit better with that situation because yes, it's beautiful and it's exciting and it's speculation and 'Is she pregnant?' 'I don't know. I want to know.' But at the same time, you don't know what's going on behind closed doors with women. And pregnancy's scary. It's worrying."

We Need to Talk / Via youtu.be She shared that their almost 4-year-old son, Axel, is a rainbow baby, a term given to children who are born after the loss of a baby due to a miscarriage, stillbirth, etc. Perrie said she had a miscarriage "very early on" before Axel. She explained that the miscarriage happened so early, she thought maybe she had a false positive, until her gynecologist explained she had a miscarriage. View this photo on Instagram Perrie Edwards / Via instagram.com Perrie added that the early miscarriage impacted her pregnancy with Axel, which she described as "one of the happiest times in my life," saying, "I was a bit on edge thinking, Oh gosh, I want to get past the 12 weeks. I want to get past this. I want to get past every scan." She added that her pregnancy with Axel was "perfect." Less than a year after Axel's birth, Perrie revealed for the first time that she was pregnant again while rehearsing for the final Little Mix tour. However, while on the tour, which is when pregnancy rumors about her were very prevalent because she was gaining weight, Perrie said she "kept bleeding" due to a blood clot, but her baby was still healthy at 12 weeks. We Need to Talk / Via youtu.be "[The bleeding] kept happening every night on tour, and I was thinking, Oh my gosh, I can't cancel the show. I have to go out. I have to put a brave face on. I have to keep my shit together. Hopefully, it's just the blood clot. So, every night it was just so uncertain," Perrie explained.

"I remember [the d
