Lisa Ling suffers miscarriage
Journalist Lisa Ling says she felt like a “complete failure” after suffering a miscarriage six months ago.
Ling, who appeared on “The View” from 1999 to 2002, came back to the show Tuesday to talk about her experience. Her taped appearance will air Friday.
Ling says that after she’d been pregnant for nine weeks, she was told her baby had no heartbeat. She says she “felt more like a failure than I’d felt in a very long time.” Ling, who is 37, says she fears it might happen again, leaving her “devastated.” Ling is married to oncologist Paul Song.
She says she realized that many women she knew had miscarriages but rarely talked about it. She and a business partner have started a website that encourages women to anonymously share their experiences.
What is up (or should I say down) with that tittie dress?
Anyway, this goes to show you that you should NOT WAIT to bear children. The older you get the harder it is. No child wants to have a mommy in her early to mid forties. Would you?? All the other kids at baseball practice will be thinking that grandma is coming to pick you up instead of mommy. Wake up call everyone. Stop listening to the feminists and have children while you are young enough to enjoy them like nature intended.
Look at Elizabeth Edwards, she was easily in her late 40’s when she had kids. Now they are children without a mother. SELFISH!
I have one word for all of these people ADOPT!
Marisa, Please be more empathetic to her about her miscarriage. Otherwise I agree with you on Lisa focusing to much on her journalist career and waiting after 35 to become pregnant. She must have followed these independent career women who focus to much on their career and forgets the biolgical clock to become fertile and have a baby. I still hope she can have a baby with her husband. Of course men don’t think about this and can be come virile in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s to become fathers. Its a woman’s prerogative choice to become pregnant after 35, but this is some of the risks and joy as done by the late Elisabeth Edwards to bear healthy babies.
What do you think Nancy Lee would say? I hope she weighs in soon. She would love this topic.
I’d also like to point out that some women don’t find their partner or temporary partner, until they are in their 30s. 20’s is pretty young today, to settle down and get married. It’s not because women are feminists that they decide to wait. Most couples who marry in their 20’s do not last or stay faithful. Thus, the reason for the high divorce rate. If you do marry in your 20s, you have to hope that the couple continues to grow together the same way.. I would not blame the woman for not settling down. We take enough blame. Do you want them to just settle with a loser so they can have children early? There are more options for women today so they don’t have to….eww btw – is Gwyenth Paltrow kidding in her new role in the movie Country whatever the hell it’s called.. She looks ridiculous in her cowboy boots, doing a country jig on stage. gimme a break!
Men can wait a long time as you stated in your comment. That is one reason why so many men marry much younger women. If you stay on birth control forever and put your career first forever you cannot be shocked when this happens.
Of course I feel bad for anyone who loses a child but alot of foolish women put themselves in high risk positions. Biologically it is much harder after the age of 35 to carry a child or to even conceive for that matter. Smart women know this.
Jamie, don’t you want to support Lisa as a woman and fellow Asian. Usually it is taboo to discuss personal issues regarded as a failure in Asian communities, but you have to give credit to Lisa to discuss this openly on the View. I hope and pray she will be granted God’s gift to have a healthy baby, boy or girl with her husband. Yes there is nothing like producing beautiful and cute Asian babies. Isn’t that the whole purpose of getting married and starting a family these days. Good luck to you Lisa and Paul.
I totally agree with Jaymie. It is up to our creator. And ladies, please DO NOT EVER settle just to be married and have kids. That goes for the men too. (see my top ten reasons not to marry her) You don’t owe your longtime girlfriend/boyfriend anything!
Gwyneth Paltrow is another product of money and connections. She would be virtually invisible due to her lack of talent if it weren’t for these facts. She is talented but not enough to be where she is today and certainly NOT an Oscar winner! We are all bombarded with people who lack talent due to their money and contacts. This allows them to gain popularity and success in their chosen field. Pity.
Hey Don – Is this for me or Marisa? I totally support all women’s decision to have or not have children. Maybe those decisions are not even up to any of us but our maker. I think you are talking to Marisa?
LISA LING MISCARRIED HER ON AIR DELIVERY AGAIN?? WHAT ELSE IS NEWS?? AND SHE IS THE ONE SUFFERING=I REALLY DON’T THINK SEW, OK??
BTW, ARE HER TITS SWOLLEN FROM PREGNANCY?? WATTS UP ER DOWN WITH THAT TITTY DRESS?? SPECIAL ACCESSORY BRA LISA=YUE NEED ONE DESPERATELY FOR THAT DRESS TO HOLD UP THOSE LITTLE PUPPIES! TAKE A PHOTO WHILE IT LASTS HONEY!! 🙁
DID YUE KNOW THAT SOME CHEFS USE MOTHER’S MILK TO MAKE CHEESE IN CERTAIN NYC RESTAURANTS?? JUST A THOUGHT AND ONE OF THE MANEE BENEFITS OF WAITING PAST AGE 35 TO BEAR CHILDREN! THE COMPLETE FAILURE IS SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE!! RECIPE FOR SUCCESS=YOUNG WOMAN MARRIES MAN 8 + YEARS OLDER AND ACCOMPLISHED + HAS HIS CHILDREN NO LATER THAN 30 YEARS OF AGE!! THAT WAS MAI ORIGINAL RECIPE BUTT LIFE DOESN’T ALWAYS GO ACCORDING TO BLUEPRINTS!! WORDS TO THE WISE WOMEN=WEN IN YOUR 20’S ONLEE CONSIDER MEN RANGING IN LATE 30’S EARLY 40’S!! 🙂 🙂
