Laura Byrne Shares Heartbreaking News Of Her Second Miscarriage

“I felt different and I knew something was wrong” - by Elyssa Kostopoulos
  • 16 Apr 2020

In the latest episode of her podcast Life Uncut, Bachelor Australia star Laura Byrne opened up for the first time about the devastating loss she experienced with fiancé Matthew 'Matty J' Johnson. Byrne spoke candidly with her co-host, Brittany Hockley about a second miscarriage she experienced earlier this year.

Watch below: Laura Byrne reveals second devastating miscarriage with fiancé Matty J

"Just two months ago, Matt and I went through our second miscarriage and that still feels raw and very bizarre to even say out loud,' the 32-year-old jewellery designer shared.

"It's not something I've really spoken about, not something that I've talked to many people about, but I feel very very passionately that miscarriage is a conversation that needs to be had in an open forum."

Today's Episode is up and today we are talking about something incredibly personal but equally as important and that is miscarriage. A couple of months ago you might remember that we couldn't get an episode out to you, sometimes life smacks you down and it's shitty, lonely and sad which is why in today's episode Laura talks openly about her two miscarriages. Miscarriage is very common and yet it is not a conversation that is commonly had openly. There's an oppressive silence around the topic, and that silence is isolating and adds to the guilt and grief that leaves women asking "what's wrong with me" This episode is for all women and men, not just those who are thinking of having children or who have suffered a miscarriage the self. We hope by putting this out there we can help to break down the stigma that still surrounds miscarriage and help women to feel supported and less alone. ❤️❤️ Get it where you get your podcasts and to join the conversation join our Facebook discussion group

Byrne and Johnson first met on the 2017 season of hit dating show The Bachelor and their connection was undeniable. Laura revealed that the pair were ecstatic at the prospect of being parents again, less than a year after the arrival of their daughter Marlie-Mae in June 2019. 

"I found out I was pregnant. We had gotten really excited about it and we'd had our scans and everything," shared Byrne, who also sadly suffered a miscarriage in June 2018 when she was nine weeks pregnant.

Stay inside guys, this self isolating thing is no funny business. Day 2!

"A week later, I felt different and I knew something was wrong and I knew it was happening again. I guess I never thought I would be someone who would have one miscarriage, let alone someone who would have two miscarriages."

Byrne hopes that by speaking out and sharing her story, she can help breakdown the oppressive silence that surrounds the topic and help support others who are experiencing the same heartache.

"It is painful and it is lonely, but it doesn't need to be quite so lonely, and the more that we talk about it, and the more we de-stigmatise it, then I feel other women who are going through the same thing may feel more supported."
