“I was alone in our house,” she wrote. “Son came home & I was sobbing, & rocking on our floor.”
She added that she was “screaming in pain” when they arrived at the doctor, who sent her to the hospital, where she was operated on.

Cher added, “WHAT WOULD HAPPEN 2 ME TODAY,” a likely reference to the current situation in the U.S. after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to an abortion.
In a number of states where abortion has now been banned, confusion over the legality of facilitating miscarriages safely has put many pregnant people at risk.
Eventually, Cher did manage to give birth, having two children: Chaz Bono and Elijah Blue Allman.

She previously spoke about her miscarriages in an interview with Parade in 2010.
“It’s a spontaneous miscarriage, something that spontaneously aborts the fetus. It’s called an angry uterus,” she said at the time. “After the third time, it got to be a nightmare. People would be congratulating me because I was pregnant, and then I wouldn’t be, and then they would be like, ‘Oh, we’re so sorry.’ I thought, God, I don’t want to have to hear this anymore.”
