About a month later, the 23 Minutes to Sunrise actress tearfully told her audience that she expected this to be the “best damn day of my life.”
“I thought it was really strange that you can find out you’re pregnant – you don’t really know how far along you are,” the He’s Making You Crazy author explained.
“So weeks and weeks and weeks later you’re supposed to be sitting in your body with yourself hoping that you can take care of this growing baby as best you can and having no idea what to do,” she said.
Kristen made an appointment with her doctor and scheduled an ultrasound to find out how far along she was.
After a second scan, the couple received good news that everything ‘looked exactly as it should’, but when they went for a third ultrasound they were given the sad news that the pregnancy was no longer viable.
The doctors told the pair that there was ‘no cause’ for what had happened.
The Mayo Clinic reports that about 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, but the number could be higher because many pregnancies occur before the woman knows she is pregnant.
The James Mae founder admitted that she had an abortion when she was younger, but the Mayo Clinic reported that an elective abortion does not appear to increase the risk of future pregnancy complications.
Kristen said she had “some light bleeding” during the first days of her pregnancy.
Hope: The hopeful parents-to-be said that once they process their emotions, they plan to expand their family again
“I only feel comfortable talking about this because I know so many friends of mine have gone through this.”
“So many women have gone through this and it’s really terrifying,” she explained.
The hopeful parents-to-be said that once they process their emotions, they plan to expand their family again.
“We were very lucky and very fortunate that we got pregnant so quickly,” she said.
