Chrissy Teigen鈥檚 decision to publicly share her heartbreak after losing her baby could help other parents come to terms with miscarriage, says our member Sarah Wheatley.

Sarah says miscarriage happens in one in four pregnancies but, despite this shocking statistic, people rarely talk about it.

鈥淭his can increase the sense of isolation that many parents can feel, when they鈥檙e possibly already feeling a huge sense of loss,鈥� Sarah explained.

Model and TV personality Teigen and her husband, the singer and songwriter John Legend, revealed their pregnancy loss on , in which they spoke of their 鈥渄eep pain鈥�.

Pain and loss

Sarah said: 鈥淐hrissy and John Teigen have brought a very public human face to an experience that so often can be treated as a private 鈥榤edical procedure鈥�.

鈥淭hey鈥檝e not allowed their pain and loss to be trivialised or dismissed.鈥�

Sarah said that couples react differently, and that Teigen鈥檚 decision to show her emotions so publicly could help the hundreds of women who experience pregnancy loss every day to talk more openly about it.

鈥淔or some they鈥檙e grieving the loss of a person, for others the loss of a dream or a relationship,鈥� said Sarah, who runs , based in Edinburgh.

Loss

鈥淚t can be a loss of control or feeling safe. It can be a sense of loss of trust in your body or a loss of dignity.

鈥淚t might also feel like the loss of an ability to relate to other people who are enjoying healthy pregnancies or having babies.

鈥淭here can be a lot of reasons why people don鈥檛 talk about their miscarriage, such as because they don鈥檛 want to upset other people or, they want to avoid the possible feelings that might occur if others trivialise or dismiss their experience.

鈥淎nother reason people sometimes don鈥檛 talk about miscarriage is because they feel a sense of shame.

鈥淥ften parents can wonder if there is something they did wrong or that they 鈥榙idn鈥檛 want the baby enough鈥�.

鈥淎s well as the sense of loss and isolation, experiencing a miscarriage can lead to people feeling lots of other unwelcome feelings such a jealousy, hypervigilance, negative self-identity and unfairness.鈥�

How can counselling help pregnancy loss?

Sarah said that counselling can help women and couples find a way through the grief.

鈥淐ounselling can help people feel able to express feelings that they feel might damage other relationships to talk about,鈥� she said.

鈥淚t can also help reduce the sense of isolation by helping people find a way to talk about their experience in a way that feels okay for them.鈥�
