Glamour.com: The Social Media Miscarriage

“Ten percent of all known pregnancies end in miscarriage. So why does the subject still feel so taboo? For women dealing with the complicated grief of miscarriage, it’s not the stat that’s comforting—it’s the knowledge that they’re not alone, that there is a space to share their story. To help end the culture of silence that surrounds pregnancy and infant loss, Glamour presents The 10 Percent, a place to dismantle the stereotypes and share real, raw, stigma-free stories.

“I want to share with you that I am most likely experiencing a miscarriage,” Hilaria Baldwin wrote to her more than 600,000 followers on Instagram in April. Baldwin, who has four kids with husband Alec Baldwin, had come back from an ultrasound devastated after finding out somewhere around 10 weeks that the embryo wasn’t growing and its heartbeat was weak. In the midst of all the uncertainty, she turned to social media. “For me, community is healing,” she told Glamour.”
