Tearing up, she said: “I’m going to try to do this without crying.”
She went on to explain: “So, we did get pregnant. We were in Bali. We did get pregnant and unfortunately that didn’t work out. And on top of the miscarriage, I also had what they call a septic miscarriage.”
A septic miscarriage is a medical term used when a woman has suffered a miscarriage and then developed an infection in the uterus.
Mary continued: “The reason I am speaking up now is because I do realise how common this is and how many people go through this. And it is not easy.
“I needed a minute because there are so many eyes on me and it has been rough to say the least.”
Fighting back tears, she went on: “But, there is still hope. And I wanted to share my journey because I’m going to continue to share it .
“I am going to continue to share it and we are going to have very good news very soon.”
She added: “If any of you guys are also going through it, please know that you are not alone and we’re going to get there.”
An accompanying caption to the video stated: “It’s not always sunshine and butterflies, and that is ok.
“I wanted to share this in the hopes of letting others know they are not alone. I promised I would be truthful and keep you guys updated.
