Anne Hathaway Shares Painful Memories of Losing an Unborn Baby
Anne HathawayĀ reflects onĀ her challenging journey toĀ motherhood and the heartfelt influence her openness about her experience has had over the years.
Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway, who is a mother to sons Jonathan, 8, and Jack, 4, with her husband Adam Shulman, recently looked back on her challenging journey to motherhood. She shared how she faced a miscarriage while performing in the Off-Broadway play Grounded for nearly six weeks in 2015.
Reflecting onĀ her experience, she told inĀ aĀ cover story published onĀ MarchĀ 25, Ā«The first time itĀ didnāt work out forĀ me. IĀ was doing aĀ play andĀ I had toĀ give birth onstage every night.Ā»
During that time, she felt that Ā«it was too much to keep it in when I was onstage pretending everything was fine,Ā» and chose to be honest about her struggles with her friends and family. Ā«I had to keep it real otherwise.Ā»
LaterĀ on, she extended this same openness toĀ the public when announcing herĀ pregnancy. She explained, Ā«When itĀ did goĀ well forĀ me, having been onĀ the other side ofĀ itĀ ā where you have toĀ have the grace toĀ beĀ happy for someoneĀ ā IĀ wanted toĀ let myĀ sisters know, āYou donāt have toĀ always beĀ graceful. IĀ see you, and Iāve been you.āĀ»
Ā«Itās really hard to want something so much and to wonder if youāre doing something wrong,Ā» she added. The Oscar winner further recalled her shock at learning how many pregnancies end in miscarriage. According to the Mayo Clinic, 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, though the actual number is likely higher. She wished that this information was more widely disseminated.
AnneĀ continued, Ā«IĀ thought, āWhere isĀ this information? Why are weĀ feeling soĀ unnecessarily isolated?ā Thatās where weĀ take onĀ damage. SoĀ IĀ decided thatĀ I was going toĀ talk aboutĀ it.Ā»
When Anne Hathaway announced her second pregnancy on Instagram in 2019, she accompanied it with a powerful caption.
Ā«Itās not for a movie…Ā» Hathaway wrote, referring to her baby bump. Ā«All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love.Ā»
Reflecting on the impact of her candid post, she shared, Ā«The thing that broke my heart, blew my mind, and gave me hope was that for three years after, almost daily, a woman came up to me in tears and I would just hold her, because she was carrying this (pain) around, and suddenly it wasnāt all hers anymore.Ā»
Reflecting on her experience, she shared that given Ā«the pain I felt while trying to get pregnant, it wouldāve felt disingenuous to post something all the way happy when I know the story is much more nuanced than that for everyone.Ā»
Recently another actress, Nicole Kidman, also shared her struggles having children.
