“I know the topic of miscarriage is something that’s like, super personal and affects a lot of people and people feel very differently. But I also think there’s a stigma around it and there’s not a lot of freedom to talk about it,” says Olivia.
“I know when I went through a miscarriage, I felt really alone because I was glad,” she admits. “And I felt like I was wrong for feeling that way and I wish I’d had more people to talk to who could’ve been a sounding board or who could’ve had a different perspective, maybe than what I was raised with.”
Olivia reveals that she was on birth control, but she wasn’t feeling like herself, so she decided to get off of it. “When I did go off birth control I did get pregnant, a little while back. And I miscarried,” she says.
She continues, “Like, I felt bad for being relieved, but I was so relieved because it was like, a wake-up call of like, ‘I’m not ready to have a kid. I don’t want a kid.'”
She goes on to explain how Ethan reacted to her miscarriage. She adds, “When I told him about everything that was going on with the miscarriage, Ethan was just as relieved as me.”
