Perrie Edwards opens up about experiencing two miscarriages: “The first time it happened, I think because it was so early, I was like, ‘Aw, that’s sad’. But I think when you’re fully carrying and you’re 24 weeks and you’ve planned out their room and all these things, it’s really hard.”

miscarriages are so much more common than people think
We, as a society, need to do better at supporting people (especially during pregnancy). The most dangerous time for anyone.
24 weeks is really more of a stillbirth. That’s devastating.
This is so sad, I can’t imagine how painful a loss like this is while also dealing with the public speculating if you’re pregnant.
I’m so sorry to everyone who has experienced miscarriages and infant loss 😔
I wish we normalized talking about miscarriages. They’re so common and so difficult to emotionally recover from, that knowing so many are in that same grief hole as you would help so many
I had a miscarriage on in June and found out last week that I have retained products of conception (RPOC) and need a second surgery to remove it. My loss was so early but it doesn’t take away the pain. No one ever tells you about the physical process of miscarriage, whether you miscarry naturally or (like me) have to have follow up care to pass it or about what happens to your body afterwards. I have googled so many times “celebrity miscarriage stories” so that I don’t feel so isolated. Props to her for speaking out.
24 weeks is devastating af. We do not do enough to destigmatize miscarriages or stillbirths
That’s so sad at that far along too, because they say not to tell people before a certain time but 24 weeks is so late
I always root for the Little Mix girls, everything I’ve heard about them is always really positive
Also Ox is a top lad

This is absolutely, exactly it. I had an incomplete miscarriage at about 6 weeks. I only figured out I was pregnant because of the miscarriage. It was unplanned and I would have terminated had it been necessary, so while my immediate emotional response was intense and deeply conflicted, it wasn’t a _traumatic_ experience for me.
I don’t believe in souls, don’t think an embryo is a person, not sentimental in the slightest. But I remember listening to the debrief by my gyne – where he explained that 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage in the first trimester, that he couldn’t really offer much insight into why this pregnancy had failed, that it isn’t really indicative of how successful future pregnancies might be, that usually they only consider there to be an underlying problem after a woman has had at least 2 to **3** miscarriages – I remember hearing that and thinking, this must be so so different if you’re trying to have a baby. If you and your partner are dreaming together about what your child might look like, what you’d call them, what you’d get them for their first birthday.
Even though it wasn’t my experience I can absolutely understand how losing an embyro that didn’t exist 4 weeks ago can feel like a death. Let alone losing a pregnancy after the first trimester.
