There really is no way to sugarcoat what happens during a miscarriage. Sure, everyone knows of the basics of what happens, technically. But beyond the physical manifestation of a miscarriage, add in the stress, grief, and emotions, and it can be, understandably, complex and confusing. And this can undoubtedly have an impact on your relationship.

Actors and young ‘power couple’, Stephanie and Hungani Ndlovu revealed last month that they miscarried in 2020. They were expecting their first child, but things went south when Stephanie miscarried at eight weeks.

The first time Hungani heard that he was going to be a dad he was a happy man, in fact they both were overjoyed.

Stephanie said out of excitement, she had already started recording her first scan at the doctor for her husband. She also added that she was diagnosed with a blighted ovum. When the couple miscarried, things were no longer the same. They were hopeless, they thought they were never gonna have a child of their own.

 

 

 

 

Just a month after publicly announcing that they miscarried, they announced that they are expecting again. This is good news for the couple especially after their tragic experience of a miscarriage. I hope this time they will get a chance to hold their first child in their arms.

The couple went through a lot. There was the time when Hungani Ndlovu and his wife Stephanie Ndlovu nearly threw in the towel. They even thought about getting a divorce. The news shocked many as they’ve always appeared to be ‘the perfect couple’. All love stories have their own interesting aura, but there is nothing that impresses us more, in our goal-oriented world, than power couples.

Some couples find that going through a miscarriage brings them closer together. Others may find it more difficult. Even though you have both lost a baby, you may have very different feelings and ways of coping. This doesn’t mean that you aren’t a strong couple or committed to each other, it just means that you respond to grief in your own ways.

Pregnancy loss can be so hard on so many relationships. According to Pediatrics studies, 22% of couples who had a miscarriage were more likely to split-up than those with successful pregnancies.
