You\u2019re having twins?!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They realized not long after that Stubbs was pregnant with twins as well, and made a special group chat just for the three of them. \u201cWe talk about things we\u2019re experiencing during pregnancy; we go to women\u2019s health events together,&#8221; Wilson said, with Harper adding that they even have the same doctor. Stubbs is expecting her twins first, on October 3rd, with Harper&#8217;s twins due next on October 5th.

We kinda just started a generation of twins out of nowhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the connection of twins between the three is surprising enough, they all also have something less happy in common: they all suffered miscarriages in previous pregnancies. &#8220;When I first got pregnant, I was scared,&#8221; Stubbs said, with Wilson adding, \u201cI have good days and bad days, emotionally; it\u2019s a rollercoaster ride.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A recent study in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lancet\/article\/PIIS0140-6736(21)00954-5\/fulltext#figures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Lancet<\/a>, a peer-reviewed medical journal, found that Black women have a miscarriage risk 43% higher than that of white women. &#8220;It&#8217;s something that hasn&#8217;t been highlighted before and something that we need to understand more about,&#8221; Siobhan Quenby, a professor of obstetrics at the University of Warwick and co-author of the study, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/miscarriage-risk-black-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told CBS News<\/a>. &#8220;All we can suggest is perhaps they have more of these risk factors,&#8221; Quenby said. &#8220;We also think that maybe there&#8217;s some social factors in certain societies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:<\/strong>\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/miracles-happen-conceives-pregnant-rare-twins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018Miracles can happen\u2019: Woman conceives while already pregnant, gives birth to rare twins<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The study also found that miscarriage has a profoundly negative effect on women, with 20% of women suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after a miscarriage, in addition to anxiety, depression, and suicide among other women. &#8220;Miscarriage really matters,&#8221; Quenby said. &#8220;It isn&#8217;t something that shouldn&#8217;t be talked about or should be hidden away by society or stigmatized.
