Not long after their big announcement, Katie also learned that she and her husband were expecting a baby girl. They did a live gender-reveal video celebrating their daughter-to-be.

But shortly after that, Katie suffered a miscarriage.

“I wish I didn’t tell the world, because having to tell the world she’s gone now makes it feel a thousand times worse,” she wrote on Facebook last November. “But here we are, this is part of it too. I love and appreciate the support and am not ready to talk about it but thank you for being there.”

In the weeks that followed, more than 300 people commented on Katie’s post offering up incredible support and giving her comfort in a heartbreaking process.

“The … incredible thing that came out of having a miscarriage was realizing how many other people were in my corner who went through that minefield before me and shared so that I did not feel alone,” she wrote in a post several weeks later.

Thousands followed along with Hilaria Baldwin a few years back as she publicly suffered a miscarriage. The podcaster, mother of seven and wife to actor Alec Baldwin posted about her miscarriage in real time — literally as it was happening. She suffered another miscarriage in November at four months along.
