Talking about stigma and myths surrounding miscarriage and stillbirth on King 5’s New Day after Chrissy Teigen and John Legend share the loss of their son late in pregnancy. Reviewing the reality of how common miscarriage is and discussing the importance of sharing our stories to take miscarriage out the shadows to break the stigma. I really appreciate the opportunity to discuss this important topic. “Not talking about miscarriage allows the stigma to continue.” Watch the interview here.
