Below Deck Med’s Julia d’Albert Opens up About Infertility Struggles – ‘I Felt Lost, Frustrated and Upset’

Below Deck Mediterranean stew Julia d’Albert recently opened up about infertility and the two miscarriages she experienced over the last year.

She plans to speak openly about her experience but shared why 2022 was an especially rough year. Over the past few months, d’Albert hinted that she’s been dealing with some challenges. When she posted a sweet anniversary photo from her wedding, she added, “2022 has not been the easiest of years and quite frankly quite testing but to have you by my side is everything.”

今回、ダルバートは、同じ課題に直面している他の人たちを助け、つながりたいと願い、2022年がそれほど困難だった理由を語った。

「Below Deck Med」のジュリアが不妊症と流産について明かした

ダルバートは昨年についてインスタグラムの開設について動画を投稿した。「私がここに来たのは、この1年間私が経験してきた旅を共有するためでした」と彼女は語った。「（夫の）マティと私は約13か月間赤ちゃんを授かろうと努力してきました。そして私たちは2回流産し、1回目は7週間目、もう1回目は5週間目でした。」

“And I just wanted to come on here because there’s not much awareness around it and not many women want to talk about it, which I can completely understand,” she continued. “But I just want to say that you’re not by yourself. I understand. It’s lonely. I felt lost, frustrated, and upset. All the emotions really, with the hormones going up and down. And I just want to say, yeah, it’s so hard. I do want to share more of my experience, so I will. It is hard, me having a pregnancy brand. And kind of going through infertility and miscarriage. But that’s life.”

Having a pregnancy brand made the experience even harder

D’Albert owns the pregnancy and motherhood site, Myrtle & Maude, which focuses on pregnancy wellness and health. She shared on the site why she started the company, revealing that, “I started ‘Myrtle & Maude’ because life has become so stressful and hectic and the simple ‘good life’ is quite hard to attain in the modern world. I saw that there was a lack of natural solutions that were easy and convenient to use especially for Women’s health & wellness and specifically for the pregnancy journey.”

She also captioned her video with the reason why she decided to go public. “I’m sharing this as I hope it will help other women and couples trying to conceive and/or who have been through miscarriage,” she wrote.

“Miscarriage, unfortunately, affects around one in four pregnancies which is never the words you want to hear when going through it,” she continued. “Through this journey, I have found it’s not really a topic people talk about but when you do it’s crazy to hear how many women have similar experiences and journeys. Personally, I have found it helpful talking to friends & family about it but understand for some it’s just too difficult.”

Another ‘Below Deck’ yachtie likely understands how Julia feels

D’Albert has also watched other Below Deck friends have babies , including Hannah Ferrier and Anastasia Surmava. But she isn’t alone. Former Below Deck chief stew Adrienne Gang spoke about her own miscarriage on her podcast last fall. She echoed some of the remarks d’Albert made in her Instagram video.

“What I have learned through this process is how many women I know in person that before this I never knew had miscarriages,” Gang said. “And it’s wild how many people I know have gone through this, and I never knew about it because it’s not something that anybody ever really talks about.”

「最初は、私が何を間違えたのか、というプロセスを経ることになります。」彼女は尋ねた。「何か違うことができたでしょうか？ビタミンが足りなかったのでしょうか？それらすべて？私は生後7週目くらいで赤ちゃんを亡くしました。何も起こらなかったので、それを見つけるのにさらに数週間かかりました。そして、私が定期的に超音波検査を受けるまで、彼らは私にそのことを知りませんでした。」

「どうやら、それはよく起こるようです」と彼女は続けた。「そして特にその最初の学期では。そして、このような状況を乗り越え、その後完全に健康な子供を産んだ他の人々と話すことができたこと。人の多さにただただ驚きました。というのも、最初の数日間は誰にもあまり話さなかったのです。そしてとても孤独を感じました。」

ジュリア・ダルバートは現在、金曜日に放送されるビロウ・デッキ・ギャレー・トーク に出演しています。
