Whitney Port Opened Up About Feeling 'Relief' And 'Shame' After Having A Miscarriage Two Weeks Ago
She said:"I was really nauseous and exhausted and suddenly [the symptoms] just stopped. While we were away I said to [Timmy] 'I don't feel like I'm pregnant.' The next day I woke up and there was blood on my underpants. When I was pregnant with Sonny, I had the same thing happen at the exact same time...so when I first saw it, I wasn't too alarmed. We waited a day and hoped that it would stop but the next day there was more blood.
After waiting another day and experiencing more bleeding, Whitney had a second ultrasound after which the doctor confirmed that the pregnancy wasn't viable. And, speaking through tears, Whitney said she felt like a"monster" for feeling"relief" at the news.She said:"I feel so bad saying this — like, I honestly feel like a complete monster, but when I found out that the pregnancy was possibly not viable I thought to myself, 'Maybe this is sort of a relief.
Whitney went on to say that she was unprepared for the fact that she'd have to make a choice about how she wanted the miscarriage to progress.Whitney outlined the three options she was given — either allow the miscarriage to continue naturally with no certainty as to how long this would take; ingest a pill to speed the process along, or have surgery.
She said:"I didn't even know that I had to make a choice to do something about it — I thought my body did it on its own."Whitney continued:"I didn't want to be in pain, I didn't want to be on my own or visually see the blood coming out of me. So, on Tuesday I got the D&C and I feel like I did the right thing for myself."
And Whitney concluded by saying that she now feels"sadness" over the miscarriage, but hopes to help others by speaking about her experiences.She said:"I can't say I feel relieved now. I feel sad. The whole thing is traumatic — it's traumatic to think about your body going through this and something being in you that could have been something — like a Sonny.
