She married NHL hockey player Mike Fisher and had a baby boy named Isaiah. She seemed to have it all, but as Underwood revealed on CBS Sunday Morning, she suffered three miscarriages in 2017 and early 2018, and they caused her heavy emotional turmoil.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2017 just wasn&#8217;t how I imagined it. I&#8217;d kind of planned that 2017 was, you know, going to be the year that I work on new music, and I have a baby,&#8221; she said through\u00a0tears. &#8220;We got pregnant early 2017, and it didn&#8217;t work out. And I got pregnant again in the spring, and it didn&#8217;t work out. Got pregnant again, early 2018. Didn&#8217;t work out. So, at that point, it was just kind of like, &#8216;Okay, like what&#8217;s the deal? What is all of this?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/miscarriage-abortion-not-jumble-cells\/\">READ: <em>Miscarriage in the age of abortion: Women aren&#8217;t mourning &#8216;a jumble of cells&#8217;<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heartbroken by the loss of each of her preborn children, Underwood had to smile through interviews and photo shoots, burying herself in work to try to block out the pain.\u00a0After becoming pregnant again, she was convinced she was suffering a fourth miscarriage. That evening, her husband out, she cuddled with Isaiah and sobbed, wondering why she kept getting pregnant only to lose her babies. She begged God to let her have a baby or just stop allowing her to get pregnant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-S2mNkE9BVc\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was like a Saturday &#8211; and Monday I went to the doctor to, like, confirm, another miscarriage,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And they told me everything was great!

But maybe, I don&#8217;t know, He heard me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Many women who suffer recurrent miscarriages believe they will never carry a baby to term again. About\u00a0five percent of women suffer from two miscarriages, and only one percent suffer three or more. While each is a significant loss, multiple miscarriages can cause depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BkogrNQFEnu\/?utm_source=ig_embed_loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 8px 0 0 0; padding: 0 4px;\"><a style=\"color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BkogrNQFEnu\/?utm_source=ig_embed_loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This was about 30 seconds before I went on stage tonight&#8230;\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f @hardrockhcac<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\">A post shared by <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carrieunderwood\/?utm_source=ig_embed_loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Carrie Underwood<\/a> (@carrieunderwood) on <time style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px;\" datetime=\"2018-06-30T03:01:34+00:00\">Jun 29, 2018 at 8:01pm PDT<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4359400\/\">2015 study<\/a> found that recurrent pregnancy loss (three or more consecutive losses before 12 weeks gestation), causes significantly more psychological stress and major depression compared to those trying to conceive.\u00a0Another <a href=\"https:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/6\/11\/e011864\">study<\/a> found that many women essentially experience PTSD after miscarriage. Women have even called their miscarriages the worst trauma of their lives, reporting nightmares and flashbacks, and stating that the emotional distress upset their work life and personal relationships.<\/p>\n<p>After recurrent miscarriages, women simultaneously\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.seleni.org\/advice-support\/the-emotional-rollercoaster-of-recurrent-miscarriage\">fear<\/a>\u00a0becoming pregnant &#8212; and\u00a0<em>not<\/em> becoming pregnant &#8212; again. They lose their joy in pregnancy, because they fear losing that child. They blame themselves and feel &#8220;broken.&#8221; If they do become pregnant again, they are on constant watch for signs of miscarriage. They try to detach emotionally, avoiding planning for the new baby, which then leads to guilt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230; [I]t&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve seen ever since I&#8217;ve been practicing,&#8221; Shery Ross, M.D., an OB\/GYN at California&#8217;s Providence Saint John&#8217;s Health Center, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.self.com\/story\/miscarriage-and-ptsd-connection\">SELF Magazine<\/a>. &#8220;The emotional effects of a miscarriage have been completely underestimated for women and their partners. It&#8217;s something the medical community has to be more aware of and more sensitive to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to ultrasound, parents can bond with their babies bouncing around in the womb at just eight weeks gestation. However society&#8217;s acceptance of abortion causes many to remain ignorant of how heartbreaking miscarriage or stillbirth can be. The abortion industry claims preborn children are mere &#8220;tissue,&#8221; so women often hide their suffering.
