'THE VIEW' STAR MEGHAN MCCAIN ANNOUNCES MISCARRIAGE – ‘I WOULD NOT WISH IT UPON ANYONE’

McCain — who announced she had a bun in the oven in March — hardly posted any photos of her bump on social media, but she had a reason as to why she wanted to keep that part of her life private. "People keep asking and requesting I show pics & details of my pregnancy," she wrote in May. 

"Given that people write on photos I put up of my family they are glad my Dad got cancer and he’s in hell, I thought I would leave my unborn child out of the social media cesspool as much as possible," she added, referring to her late father, Senator John McCain

In August, the mom of one also said she was "sorry" for "still not sharing pics of my baby bump," adding that "there are a lot of cruel things written about me in the press on an almost constant/daily basis.

"I have had my share of public grief and public joy. I wish this grief — the grief of a little life begun and then lost — could remain private. I am not hiding anymore. My miscarriage was a horrendous experience and I would not wish it upon anyone," she stated.

Fortunately, everything worked out for McCain — who will return to The View in about three weeks to cover the upcoming presidential election — and the 38-year-old writer. Congrats, you two!
