Trigger Warning: This article discusses miscarriage and baby loss that some readers may find upsetting
Meghan Markle has opened up about the pain of losing a child, after discussing her miscarriage in a recent episode of her podcast.
The Duchess of Sussex has previously spoken about her loss in an article she wrote for the New York Times in 2020.
She explained that, after feeling a ‘sharp cramp’ while changing her son Archie’s nappy, she learned that she had suffered a miscarriage.
“I knew, as I clutched my firstborn child, that I was losing my second,” she wrote.
“I dropped to the floor with him in my arms, humming a lullaby to keep us both calm, the cheerful tune a stark contrast to my sense that something was not right.”
She went on: “Hours later, I lay in a hospital bed, holding my husband’s hand. I felt the clamminess of his palm and kissed his knuckles, wet from both our tears.
“Staring at the cold white walls, my eyes glazed over. I tried to imagine how we’d heal.”
In a recent interview, Meghan has now touched on her loss once again, discussing what happened on her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast with Girls Who Code founder Reshma Saujani
