Julia Louis-Dreyfus has opened up about experiencing an “emotionally devastating” miscarriage when she was 28. Now 62, the Veep star recalled suffering the loss when she was “quite late” into her first pregnancy.
Speaking on the latest episode of her Wiser Than Me podcast, Louis-Dreyfus described the miscarriage as a “complete nightmare” and revealed she had to be hospitalised after developing an infection. “When I was 28, I got pregnant for the first time and I was crazy happy,” she said. “I got pregnant easily.
I felt very fertile, very womanly. “And then, quite late in the pregnancy, my husband Brad [Hall] and I discovered that this little foetus was not going to live. ”An infection following the miscarriage meant she had to stay in hospital and was not able to go home until “a couple of days later”.
Louis-Dreyfus, who now shares two children with Hall, added that she was “bedridden” once she returned home as she was not “allowed to get out of bed yet”.
