Last summer, Meghan McCain revealed she suffered a miscarriage in an op-ed for the New York Times. McCain and Ben Domenech, who married in November 2017, loved and lost their baby girl. “I knew I was pregnant before I formally knew I was pregnant,” McCain wrote. “My body told me in all the ways women are familiar with. It told me in the same ways that I was miscarrying.” While she would’ve preferred to keep her grief private, McCain didn’t want to hide anymore because she wanted to shine a light on how prevalent miscarriages actually are.
“My miscarriage was a horrendous experience and I would not wish it upon anyone,” she wrote. “Yet for all its horrors, it is distressingly common. Estimates range from one in 10 to one in four pregnancies end in miscarriages. That’s about three million lost children in America each year. That is all the more reason women need to be able to speak about this publicly, without the stigma and the lack of knowledge that pervades the issue.” As McCain explained, women often feel shame because of the “cultural taboo” surrounding miscarriages, but she wanted to assure others they’re not alone — and likely helped countless women cope with their own grief in the process.
And now, the talk show host is being equally candid with fans as she embarks on her new pregnancy journey, and she’ll keep everyone updated via The View.
