Sharon Stone came forth and shared her story about losing nine children through miscarriages. The Casino actress took to Instagram to comment under a post from People magazine, lending her support to Dance With the Stars' Peta Murgatroyd, who recently lost a child when her husband was at Ukraine. Stone has previously talked about suffering several miscarriages due to an autoimmune disease and endometriosis. Under the post, Stone wrote:
“We, as females don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage.”
Stone said that it is not a small thing physically and emotionally but they are made to feel that it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure. She mentioned,
“Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need, Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology has become lax at best, ignorant in fact, and violently oppressive in effort.”
She has previously mentioned her miscarriages in her memoir, The Beauty of Living Twice, where she said that when she lost her baby, she had to go through 36 hours of labor without giving birth. She added that the nurses even stayed with her on their day off.

Peta Murgatroyd lost her child
In an interview with People magazine, Murgatroyd opened up about her recent miscarriage, which came when her partner Maks was in Ukraine. Murgatroyd said she remembers lying in the hospital bed, still in shock from the incident from hours earlier, where she was brought to the hospital in an ambulance. She added that she called for help when she found herself lying motionless in her son’s bedroom, after being tested positive for Covid-19.
At the hospital, Murgatroyd called her husband when the doctor came to her room. She recalled feeling confused after looking at the doctor's face. She added:
"I thought he was going to reveal some really bad news. I was like, 'What's wrong?' His face dropped"
The doctor asked her if she knew if she was pregnant, following which it was reportedly revealed that she was five weeks pregnant, but she had lost the child.
In the interview, Murgatroyd also spoke about the couple's plans to have another baby through IVF. The pro dancer recently posted an Instagram video featuring her first round of injections.
