Three months after announcing she was expecting her fourth child at 54, Trina McGee has shared she experienced a miscarriage.
During an appearance on the “Tamron Hall” show, the actress revealed she lost the pregnancy.
“It wasn’t expected, it was closer to the end of the first trimester. We don’t have any real reasons why,” she said, adding, “I was still so grateful to have the experience of being able to conceive at this age and this time.”
McGee said she experienced a “lot of depression” after receiving the difficult news. “You know, It’s just kind of hard to get out of bed,” she explained.
McGee noted how much she really wanted the baby that, beyond “holistic” measures, including diet and lifestyle changes, was conceived naturally.
“There’s so many things that come when you really want a family, and you want your family to be complete,” she explained, adding, “It was very hard to face the fact that it’s not going to happen at this point in the junction.”
McGee, who turned 55 earlier this month, first announced she was expecting her fourth child with husband Courtland Davis in June in an Instagram post.
“At the tender age of 54 I have found myself pregnant,” she wrote in the post, set to “Baby Love” by The Supremes. “Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery. Thank you.”
In the caption, McGee added that she was going to “sign off social media for a bit,” telling her followers: “Thanks for your prayers and well wishes in advance.”
