Alyssa Milano has long thought that her miscarriages were a “punishment” for the abortions she had in her 20s.
Thanks to her two children, Alyssa Milano (48) floats in motherhood today. However, before the birth of her first son, the actress suffered two miscarriages. She has long seen this as a punishment for her two abortions that she had in her 20s. “I definitely had that moment when I thought, ‘Well, I’m basically being punished for having abortions in my 20s,'” she says openly and honestly in People magazine’s “Me Becoming Mom” podcast.
Even when they were their two children in the world, she worried for a long time that something could happen to them and that this would then be a kind of “karmic punishment”. Therapy helped her to process the feelings of guilt at the time. “I know a lot of women have to endure miscarriages very hard, but for me it was part of the process, I think,” the actress continued. “Both miscarriages, I think, were when I was 7 or 8 weeks old. My body did what it was supposed to do. And I still see it that way.”
She has no regrets about her abortions
Alyssa Milano already spoke openly about her two abortions on the podcast “Sorry Not Sorry” in 2019: “At that time I knew that I was not able to become a mother. And so I decided to have an abortion. I decided to do it. It was my choice. And it was absolutely the right choice for me, “she said at the time.
Despite the two miscarriages the actress had, she has no regrets about her abortions. Today it feels like “I had the two pregnancies I should have. And that’s how I’ve seen it all along,” she said on the Me Becoming Mom podcast.
Milano has been married to David Bugliaro (40) since 2009. Their son Milo (10) was born in 2011, daughter Elizabella (7) was born in 2014.
