Billionaire CEO of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan
are going to be parents. Mark shared the photo on the left announcing
the happy news and also shared details about previous miscarriages 'to
give
more people the same hope they felt and help more people feel
comfortable sharing their stories as well'. The couple were married in
2012. The soon-to-be father proudly shared this emotional post with his
33.2 million followers on Facebook.
"Priscilla and I have some exciting news: we're expecting a baby girl!
We've been trying to have a child for a couple of years and have had
three miscarriages along the way.
"You feel so hopeful when you learn you're going to have a child. You
start imagining who they'll become and dreaming of hopes for their
future.
You start making plans, and then they're gone. It's a lonely experience.
Most people don't discuss miscarriages because you worry your problems
will distance you or reflect upon you—as if you're defective or did
something to cause this. So you struggle on your own."
"Our good news is that our pregnancy is now far enough along that the
risk of loss is very low and we are very hopeful," he said.
"Cilla and our child are both healthy, I'm extremely excited to meet her and our dog Beast has no idea what's coming."
"So I'm already convinced she takes after me,"
"We're looking forward to welcoming her into the world and sharing more soon when she's ready to come out and meet everyone!"
