Beyoncé Talks Miscarriage: "The Saddest Thing I've Ever Been Through"



While Beyoncé is now the proud parent of adorable daughter Blue Ivy, motherhood wasn't the easiest road for Jay-Z's wife to travel.

And now, the Super Bowl singer is opening up about the miscarriage she suffered, which was revealed last year by her rapping hubby in the track "Glory."

But B herself has never addressed the experience—until now, that is.

"About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time," the 31-year-old said in Life Is But a Dream, her HBO documentary airing next month, an advance copy of which was viewed by various outlets.

"And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life."

While she does not detail when, exactly, she suffered her loss, she did say that she felt it hard.

After several miscarriages myself - which were all horrific no matter what stage of the pregnancy I was at - I really respect when a person wants to keep their pregnancy private.

It is so tacky how invasive the media is during that time in a celebrities life. Especially when they announce it on the cover of magazines and such long before the mother to be is ready.

We are in the process of adopting a newborn and the birth mother is at 25 weeks and we are ALL still guarded about over sharing the news with family and friends.

From one adoptive mom to another, best of luck on the birthmom's pregnancy and your adoption!

Same. I was really cocky about the whole thing before - thinking "so-and-so many pregnancy end in miscarriages anyway - why upset yourself over a natural biological process?" Then it happened to me and the only people who know are closest friend and family and a bunch of strangers on the internet. And one of the worst things to do in the aftermath was telling everyone that it hadn't worked out. It felt like you didn't just disappoint yourself but everyone else as well. Maybe not rational but emotions rarely are.

Same. So many women keep pregnancies secret for the first trimester because that's prime time for a miscarriage to happen...and the more people that know, the harder it is.

I believe there was a celebrity recently-ish (within the past few years) who was pregnant and the tabloids reported on it and then she miscarried, but I can't remember who.

My biggest fear is that I'll have a miscarriage and will never fall pregnant again. Of course I really want this baby for itself but in my mind there is a nagging thought saying this is my only chance.

Also, despite the fact I'm only 8 weeks 4 days and it was totally against my wishes, my dad has told pretty much everyone he knows in my home town so if the worst happens everyone will know about it. I wouldn't have told him if I hadn't had such bad morning sickness that I knew I couldn't hide it from my mum because I knew he would pull this shit. He promised not to say a word and two weeks later half of West Berkshire knows I'm knocked up.

my mom told me that one day when she was a teenager, my grandma came into her room and told her the story of when she'd had a baby (before had had my mom), and it died about an hour after it was born. but the hospital just took the (dead) baby away and never told her what they did with the body and told her to just go home. it was the 1950s and she wasn't even allowed/expected to grieve. my grandma never knew what happened to the body or anything. it haunted her all her life.

eventually when my mom got older she started looking into what might have happened to the body, and found out that it might have been buried somewhere that my grandma could visit. (although she didn't have the details or anything yet). unfortunately around this time my grandma got alzheimer's and my mom decided that it would be pointless to try and revisit.

Very sad.

How awful. No woman should ever have to go through that. Eternal shame on anyone who ever cracked a mean joke about her pregnancy or claimed that it was for publicity.
ellenelles 1st-Feb-2013 02:54 am (UTC)
+ the people sideeying her for talking about it now
prophecypro 31st-Jan-2013 09:25 pm (UTC)
Surprised this story when it was first announced wasnt made into a bigger deal and overanalyzed as things are

Most pregnancies end in miscarriage but it's still so sad. A lot of women blame themselves when it happens, but it's extremely common.

A friend of mine had a stillborn baby recently. Its just so fucking heartbreaking. There is literally nothing I can do for her except tell her I love her and sit and cry and hug her. There are no words.
