In an Instagram remark on People’s page, Sharon Stone was candid and truthful. Sharon remarked that she could all too easily identify with the scenario after reading a quotation from Peta Murgatroyd’s interview in which she discussed her three losses and IVF experience. Stone wrote, “We, as females, don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage.”
The actress continues, “It’s no small thing, physically nor emotionally, yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure. Instead of receiving the much-needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need.” Sharon has spoken openly about her prior infertility issues, but she has never revealed the tragic number of miscarriages she has suffered. Due to her endometriosis and autoimmune condition, Sharon was unable to conceive biological children.
In 2000, she and her ex-husband Phil Bronstein adopted a boy named Roan. Sharon adopted two additional boys on her own after the divorce: Quinn in 2006 and Laird in 2005. “Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology have become lax at best, ignorant in fact and violently oppressive in an effort,” Stone concluded in her Instagram comment.
Sharon received a good amount of encouragement for showing vulnerability; her reply alone earned more than 500 likes. The Dancing With the Stars veteran Peta revealed in an interview with People that she miscarried earlier this year when her husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy was in Ukraine fighting the Russian invasion. Peta contracted COVID after becoming pregnant and was unable to maintain the pregnancy while fighting the virus.
Peta explained, “I’m somebody who prides herself on health and wellness. I exercise every single day. But, as I came to realize, that doesn’t go hand-in-hand with the reproductive system.” Peta and Maks, who have a five-year-old son, will now turn to IVF in the hopes of carrying a baby to term after three painful losses. Peta has hope for the future.
