The 43-year-old singer will meet other women who have lost babies in 'Myleene Klass: Miscarriages and Me', and she hopes it will break the taboo around the subject after the star suffered four miscarriages.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I think I needed to make this because I needed to watch this. After my miscarriages, I had to try and find some answers, some peace, some solidarity with people who’ve been through it too. You just don’t want to feel alone because the defining feeling of miscarriage is feeling alone.
"I’m getting to a point in my life where I’m finding it very tricky to find a woman who hasn’t gone through miscarriage. Making this film, I’ve realised that so many women around me have had miscarriages. How can I know so much about their lives but not know something that’s shaped who they are and the way they are?
"Miscarriage still feels like a taboo. I’d like to help make these conversations a little easier. It can’t go on being the big dark secret that we have to carry around."
The one-off documentary comes after the former Hear'Say star revealed in October she had suffered four miscarriages.
She wrote on Instagram: “I am Mama to 7 babies, Ava, Hero, Apollo my rainbow baby and 4 little stars in the sky.”
Myleene had her fourth miscarriage while presenting her radio show on Smooth Radio.
She said: “I was on air. I went to the loo while the music was playing and there was blood everywhere. I didn’t know what to do. I had one hour left of my show.
“I rang Lauren Laverne and she said: ‘Do one link, take a breath, come out and call me.’ She got me through.”
