After Miscarriages, James Van Der Beek and Wife Are Expecting Baby 6
, announced on the show that he and his wife Kimberly Brook are expecting their sixth child, after experiencing three previous miscarriages.crew film their first ultrasound—something that the couple never thought they would do. But having going through three of these first appointments previously, only to discover no heartbeat or no baby, they wanted to use the moment to show that there shouldn’t be any shame around miscarriage, Van Der Beek shared in an Instagram post announcing the happy news.
“Miscarriage is something that people rarely talk about, and often go through in secret. But there needs to be zero shame around it, or around giving yourself the time and space to grieve,” he wrote. “We decided to put ourselves out there—not knowing what we’d find—in an effort to chip away at any senseless stigma around this experience and to encourage people who might be going through it to open themselves up to love and support from friends and family when they need it most.
Van Der Beek’s message is deeply resonating with people, prompting a response from others who have also suffered a loss. One woman commented, “First- congratulations!! Second- thank you for putting yourself out there and being vulnerable. I too have had the experience of going in to what you expect to be a joyous moment only to hear the devastating sound of silence instead of the whoosh of a heartbeat. I remember feeling so alone and like I had done something wrong.
Another woman wrote, “So wonderful!! Three lost babies here too! I feel your pain there. I also feel your joy!! Congratulations!!!,” while still another said, “Miscarriage DEFINITELY needs a new word!”. While pregnancy loss can be one of the hardest things to cope with and talk about, with more people opening up about their experiences, hopefully we make the conversation less stigmatized and more compassionate.
