‘I miscarried again. I underwent a D&C this time, which was harder than I imagined.’
A Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a surgical procedure used to remove tissue from the uterus, often performed after a miscarriage or abortion, or to treat other conditions like heavy bleeding.
According to Joy, it will ‘take some time’ to feel like herself again.

‘Honestly, I may never will,’ she admitted. ‘I hope to keep y’all involved in whatever that may look like.’

‘That was definitely the hardest night of my life. Just experiencing that is something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone,’ she said, adding that she feels ‘ᴅᴇᴀᴅ inside.’
‘I’ve been trying to be a good mom to River and come and do my job, whether it’s on the podcast or on social media for the past week. And currently as I sit here today, I’m actively miscarrying our second child, and its has been the biggest heartbreak, I think, of my life,’ Natalie said on the podcast episode.
The star recalled the night it started, after she had been ‘spot bleeding’ for a bit and then it continued to get ‘heavier and heavier.’
She said she went to use the restroom to go urinate and ‘it was like I gave birth.’
Natalie was crying and screaming, which led to Nick rush to the bathroom to see if she was okay.
‘And you know, you just think like, “How are you supposed to stand up and flush this baby down the toilet? Like how do you do that?’ Natalie said.
Nick revealed that he ‘retrieved’ it, calling it ‘traumatic.’
‘That was definitely the hardest night of my life. Just experiencing that is something I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. And unfortunately, I know a lot of women do experience it, and I just feel for these people so much because I was so mad at my body for letting it go. You know? I was like, “Why couldn’t you just hold on to it?”‘
The brunette said she then called her doctor, who ᴀssured her that the pregnancy was ‘unviable’ outside of the body.
‘I think it’s the only thing that you have to hold on to to be able to heal, you know, is to have the doctors ᴀssuring you of like, this baby wasn’t gonna live regardless. Our doctor being able to say it was unviable. It wasn’t going to live outside of your body, it gives you some hope of like, okay.’
