WWE superstar Carmella experienced an ectopic pregnancy after suffering an early miscarriage in September.
The professional wrestler posted a black-and-white hospital photo via Instagram Monday, writing that she wasn’t looking for any sort of sympathy with her social media upload.
“Today, I was treated for an ectopic pregnancy,” 35-year-old Carmella wrote. “I never thought something like this would happen to me.
“I spent 12 hours in the ER on Saturday when I started experiencing some sharp pains on my left side,” Carmella, whose real name is Leah Van Dale, continued. “After several tests and ultrasounds, I was given the devastating news that this was, in fact, an abnormal pregnancy.”
She says she was devastated after receiving the news. Since the test came up positive, she thought maybe it was finally her time to be a mommy.
“I was cautiously optimistic this time around after the early loss I had already experienced, but was hoping for the best, Carmella said. “Pregnancy loss leaves you feeling so isolated, but I want others like me to know it’s not our fault. Don’t blame yourself. For anyone dealing with ANY type of pregnancy loss, I want you to know your feelings and emotions are valid, there is NOTHING wrong with you and you are not alone.”
The dancer and her husband, Corey Graves, had not previously been vocal about their plans to conceive.
Carmella and the WWE commentator, 38, wed in April, three years after they began dating.
Graves was previously married to Amy Polinsky, and the former couple share three children.
