WWE superstar Carmella, also known as Leah Van Dale, recently shared her heart-wrenching experience of being treated for an ectopic pregnancy following a previous miscarriage. She disclosed this news in a sincere social media post on the last day of Infant Loss Awareness Month, shedding light on a topic often kept in the shadows.
Carmella expressed her initial hesitance in sharing her story but felt compelled to do so given the significance of the awareness month. She recounted her shock upon receiving the news of the ectopic pregnancy, especially after the emotional toll of a miscarriage in September.
Her ordeal began with sharp pains on her left side, leading to a 12-hour emergency room visit where tests and ultrasounds revealed the distressing diagnosis of an abnormal pregnancy.
By sharing her journey, Carmella aims to break the silence surrounding such experiences. She drew inspiration from comedian Iliza’s openness about her miscarriage, highlighting the importance of discussing these topics to support others going through similar challenges.
Carmella emphasized the validity of emotions for anyone dealing with pregnancy loss, reassuring them that they are not alone and that healing, both mentally and emotionally, is a process that takes time.
