WWE superstars Carmella and her husband Corey Graves have suffered a miscarriage as the former Smackdown Woman’s champion opens up about her tragic 12 hours in the emergency room.
Carmella, born Leah Van Dale, shared the heartbreaking news on her Instagram page on Monday, saying the harrowing event began on Saturday with “sharp pains on my left side”.
“Today, I was treated for an ectopic pregnancy. I never thought something like this would happen to me, especially after suffering from an early miscarriage in September,” Carmella wrote.
“Nothing can prepare you for this news after getting a positive pregnancy test. I was cautiously optimistic this time around after the early loss I had already experienced, but was hoping for the best.
“I spent 12 hours in the ER on Saturday when I started experiencing some sharp pains on my left side. After several tests and ultrasounds, I was given the devastating news that this was, in fact, an abnormal pregnancy.”
The WWE superstar continued: “The reason I’m sharing all of this is because in the moment it feels so isolating. Why doesn’t anyone ever talk about this?
“My husband and I watched @ilizas new comedy special last week and she spoke openly about her miscarriage. I immediately burst into tears.
“She went on to explain that we should be speaking more openly about this topic so we, as women, don’t blame ourselves and think there’s something wrong with us.
“I want to do the same. I’m part of this statistic and it’s happening to me. Again, I’m not looking for sympathy, I know I’ll eventually recover from all of this mentally, physically and emotionally.
‘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. 
.”
WWE commentator Graves praised his wife for sharing her story and encouraging sympathy for those who have experienced miscarriages, commenting on her post: “I love you so much. I’m proud of you.”
Carmella’s fellow WWE superstars sent words of encouragement under her post, with Brie Bella leading the way, writing: “I’m so sorry!! So brave of you to share this!! Sending so much love .”
Brie’s twin and former Woman’s champion Nikki Bella said: “So sorry Leah, I can’t even imagine your pain right now. Saying prayers for you.
“Thank you for being so honest and sharing this. You will help so many women that are going through this or have gone through this. Us women need each other to lean on. 
Love you.”
WWE star Emma wrote: “I’m so sorry to hear the hard times you’ve been going through. Thinking of you .”
All Elite Wrestling star Vickie Guerrero said: “Sending you so much love! I have miscarried too and the loss is a dark void….take care of yourself.”
