American actress, Sharon Vonne Stone, says she has suffered nine miscarriages.
Stone, 64, revealed this while commenting on a PEOPLE Instagram post featuring an exclusive interview with Peta Murgatroyd, who recently opened up about losing a pregnancy while her husband, Maks Chmerkovskiy, was in Ukraine.
“We, as females, don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage,” revealed the actress, who is the mother of three sons through adoption: Quinn Kelly, Laird Vonne, and Roan Joseph.
She continued, “It is no small thing, physically nor emotionally yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure.”
“Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need. Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology has become lax at best, ignorant in fact, and violently oppressive in effort.”
Stone suffered her near-fatal stroke in 2001 and took a two-year break from Hollywood to heal.
She later revealed that it took her seven years to fully recover.
