Very painful and her decision to share.

Even though it’s common, it doesn’t make it any less painful.
I waited to tell most people but very close family I told.

It happens, and most women do not share their experiences.

With my first pregnancy, we were enquiring about having fertility tests done as it was taking so long. The first step is a pregnancy test. It was positive, I was only 3 weeks along, but way too excited not to share the news

Thank you for being brave enough to share with us. I was 3 months pregnant when I had a miscarriage and wasn’t allowed to talk about it. Back then my doctor said it was the wrong thing to do. I had to just carry on like nothing had happened. It was hard when people asked me how I was going and had to say everything was fine. It was 10 years before my new doctor said that I should have been allowed to ask questions about why it happened and talk to my husband about why I had never talked about it. It was so good to be able to speak after all that time. For years I always believed it was all my fault. Wishing you all the best

I waited for all my pregnancies and even hid it from close family after experience a devastating loss with my first pregnancy.

I admire her strength and send her much love.
I still can’t talk about my loss 6 years on

I think it’s a brave thing to do – to remove the stigma.

With my first we waited until 12 weeks to announce publicly. We recently miscarried our second and we had only shared with close family so having the support of family made things easier.

Such a hard topic, I waited until 12 weeks except very close family & best friends.

I preferred to wait to announce. Those close to me knew, but after suffering a mid pregnancy loss I knew how hard it was to then un-announce and have to announce a loss. Each to their own.

No waiting – announced early and a different experience with each pregnancy.

So sorry for them both
I didn’t announce mine until over 12wks

Miscarriage is devastating, 9 years on and I am still heartbroken but have had two babies since both premature but healthy

I’m so sorry for her – I know the pain of miscarriage. But I think she’s so brave & strong to share this as miscarriage is still so not talked about & it makes the pain even harder when no one knows what to say or do. Somewhat ‘normalising’ miscarriage will hopefully help women in the future feel less alone and more able to talk about their loss.

She’s done a brave annoucement but it wouldn’t be easy for anyone to do. A personal thing.

So sad and I am glad she is speaking up about it not enough people do.
I am one in four who has experience a miscarriage….more then I would like too. So good on her.

That is very sad. I hope the responses are respectful.

Oh that’s so sad, my heart breaks for her

That was really brave and strong of her to put something so personal shared so publicly. I myself had a miscarriage (years and years ago) and would not want to share that publicly.

wow so brave to share it with the world. I didn’t tell anyone outside my immediate family till well into my second trimester as I couldn’t handle the loss if it happened with everyone
