The “Ironic” singer announced her pregnancy in March, with a baby bump pic on Instagram.
In June, she opened up to Self magazine about suffering multiple miscarriages while pursuing her dream of having three children.
"I [...] felt so much grief and fear," she shared. "I chased and prayed for pregnancy and learned so much about my body and biochemistry and immunity and gynecology through the process. It was a torturous learning and loss-filled and persevering process."
"I had done tentacles of investigation on everything, from hormones to physicality, every rabbit hole one could go down to chase answers," she continued. "I have different doctors who laugh at the thickness of my files. So, for me I've tried every different version from heavily self-medicating, to formal allopathic medications, to now."
