“I have never recorded myself crying and holding on, but when I had a miscarriage, my husband recorded it because we thought we were going to have good news and I cried,” she said.
“It wasn’t for the camera, but I shared it when I had my second baby because it was very traumatic for me and I wanted people to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that I was very vulnerable.”
