Saujani described Meghan&#8217;s reflections as &#8220;really insightful,&#8221; adding that it felt like the Duchess was &#8220;reading my diaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meghan first revealed her miscarriage in a personal essay published by The New York Times in November 2020. She recounted the moment she felt a sharp cramp while holding her firstborn, Archie, and knew she was losing her second child.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Losing a child means carrying an almost unbearable grief, experienced by many but talked about by few,&#8221; she wrote at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Now a mother to Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, Meghan spoke on the podcast about the joys of motherhood, admitting, &#8220;I love being a mom so much. It&#8217;s my favourite thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She also shared how challenging it can be to take a break from parenting, often finding herself scrolling through pictures of her children when away from them. &#8220;It&#8217;s the parenting paradigm&#8230; so full on, and I wouldn&#8217;t trade it for anything,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p><!--#VuukleAD--><\/p>\n<p>The conversation also touched on the pressure to balance professional ambition with traditional motherhood, something both women said should not be mutually exclusive.<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                <!-- Featured Video --><br \/>\n                                                                                                                        <!-- Recommended Widget -->\n                                                                                                                    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has opened up about the deeply personal experience of suffering a miscarriage in 2020, during a recent episode of her podcast Archetypes: Confessions of a Female Founder.
