Alex Gonzaga confirms she suffered from miscarriage

Alex Gonzaga finally broke her silence about the rumors that she has suffered from miscarriage.

According to the actress-vlogger's Facebook post on October 17, she found out that she might be having an anembryonic pregnancy more than a month into her pregnancy. An anembryonic pregnancy, known as blighted ovum, "occurs when an early embryo never develops or stops developing," as described by mayoclinic.org.

"Hi. 2 months ago we found out that I was pregnant and 3 weeks ago, we got a heartbreaking news that we might be having an anembryonic pregnancy (blighted ovum).

"Our doctor advised us to wait for the process to naturally take its course. So we had to wait for awhile for the pregnancy to finally end before we can tell our story," Alex wrote.

Alex continued, "The waiting and praying tested our faith and there was a lot of crying.

"The waiting and praying tested our faith and there was a lot of crying.

"Everyday we were clinging on to a miracle that an embryo would still appear but last Tuesday, the Lord's will prevailed and we finally closed the book of our first pregnancy."

Alex shared her miscarriage story to shed light about this issue and bring hope to her fellow aspiring expectant moms who share the same agony as hers.

"We share our story to give hope that in the midst of this pain and loss, the Lord will always sustain you.

"To any couple who's going through this or who might go through this pain, don't ever lose hope. It's not your fault this happened.

"At your own pace you can start to grieve and heal. Mikee and I held on to our Lord Jesus to prepare and help us accept our situation. He blessed us with a kind of LOVE that is ready to understand. We know that in His perfect time He will bless us with our ultimate desire. "

Alex then concluded, "To our baby whom we almost had, thank you for giving mommy and daddy joy even for a short span. Lastly, thank you to everyone who gave us time to heal."

Having a baby is a precious gift that many are blessed with. But sometimes, some pregnancies are not meant to be, regardless if you are a celebrity or not.

Celebrities like Heart Evangelista, Regine Velasquez, and Mariel Rodriguez have all gone through the pain of losing a child even before they were born.
