Aleksandra Żebrowska about losing her pregnancy. “You are not alone in this”

“About 40,000 women in Poland experience miscarriages every year. And today I hug all of you especially tightly. I lost my pregnancy 4 times” – she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday Aleksandra Żebrowska. Describing her experiences, Michał Żebrowski's wife admitted that “she only cried when she was lying in bed after the procedure.” “Suddenly the door opened and my sisters entered the tiny room one by one – three or four, I don't remember. It was probably more sobbing with emotion that I had them and that they came to cheer me up with pizza,” added the entrepreneur.

Żebrowska published her entry on Lost Children's Day, which is celebrated on October 15. “Remember that you are not alone in this,” she appealed to other women. Within 24 hours, her post was liked by over 25,000 Instagram users. “Many thanks for sharing this,” “so much courage,” Internet users wrote in the comments.

Some of them also decided to share their experiences. “I've been through this 6 times. I have 6 little angels. Only from my 7th pregnancy do I have my most beloved son,” wrote one of the users. “I'm on the 3rd day after the procedure. The second loss. Today I had an extremely bad day full of grief, tears, disbelief… Thank you for this post,” added another. Another commenter confessed that she “lost 3 pregnancies”, but “today she holds the miracle of the 4th on her hands.”

According to the WHO website, globally, approximately 10-15 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage, and approximately 2 million stillbirths occur worldwide each year. In Poland, approximately 1,700 women give birth to a stillborn child every year. 40,000 women suffer from miscarriages, reports the Supreme Audit Office. Despite this, both miscarriages and stillbirths still “remain a taboo topic around the world,” says WHO.
