“It was the only way we knew how to say goodbye,” he wrote.
Postpartum Health Struggles
The miscarriage is not the only health scare Meghan has faced since becoming a mother. In an earlier podcast episode, she revealed that she developed postpartum preeclampsia after giving birth — a rare but dangerous condition marked by high blood pressure and excess protein in the urine.
Speaking with Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, who experienced something similar, Meghan explained: “The world doesn’t know what’s happening quietly. And in the quiet, you’re still trying to show up for people — mostly for your children — but those things are huge medical scares.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, postpartum preeclampsia requires urgent treatment and, if left unaddressed, can lead to seizures and other life-threatening complications.
Support From Around the World
After the podcast aired, social media was flooded with supportive messages for the duchess. One listener wrote: “Be kind to everyone. No one knows the things they are dealing with, ever.” Another added: “It’s very brave of you, Meghan, to talk about this. Thank you.”
For Meghan, sharing her story seems to be about more than revisiting her pain. It is also a way to bring hidden struggles into the light — and remind others that they are not alone.
