Lauren revealed shesuffered from a third pregnancy lossin a candid Instagram post shared last May.
“I decided I wanted to share because I don’t think it’s a shameful thing to talk about. I want to help others realize how common miscarriages are and how they aren’t something to be embarrassed about,” she wrote in part at the time.
“Going through this has made me realize, I definitely am not alone. It’s so common and yet, I feel it’s not talked about nearly enough,” Lauren added. “If more of us talked about these things, maybe we would feel less alone and at fault. Information is power and I want to start sharing more of it.”
