Jaime King Reveals Painful Details About Infertility and Miscarriages To Help Others (PHOTO)
Heart Of Dixie actress Jaime King opened up about her painful and often trying journey to motherhood on Instagram on Friday. "For all the struggling women & moms out there that think they are alone - This is the truth about conceiving my son and struggles after. 8 yrs of pain and undiagnosed PCOS & Endometriosis," she wrote.
She posted an image (which has, as of today, been removed) that read, "9 doctors until Dr. Randy Harris diagnosed me & saved my life from a severe ectopic, 5 miscarriages, 5 rounds of IVF, 26 IUI's, most with no outcome, 4½ years of trying to conceive, 26 hours of brutal labor, early delivery b/c of sudden preeclampsia, tearing and tearing after the stitches were in once I was home, milk supply issues, painful mastitis, uncontrollable crying while breast feeding, worked until the day before I [gave] birth and went back after 6 weeks after because I was afraid of letting others down."
"#youarenotalone," she wrote in her post along with two more hashtags that read "#ihavetobebravetosupportothers" and "#realtalkthatterrifiesus"
King, 35, disclosed her fertilely problems to ABC News back in May, saying, "It took a long time to get pregnant, for me the baby was such a blessing that the most important thing for me was that I was active ... I was never obsessive about dieting or exercise. I didn't care how much I gained. I just wanted to make sure he (son James) was healthy. He was a long time in the making and I feel like the universe put a little extra magic dust in him. He's like the happiest, most joyful, social and loving child."
