Pop sensation Meghan Trainor has recently opened up about a terrifying ordeal she went through while pregnant with her second child. The superstar got a little scared during a virtual interview with Ryan Seacrest after she started bleeding. She thought the bleeding would make her lose her baby.
A Joyful Moment to Nightmare
Meghan Trainor, the fantastic singer behind hits like ‘All About That Bass’, found herself expecting a second son, Barry Bruce. On the day of the interview, she was in great spirits, elated with their news. "That morning I was stoked, beaming with joy, I videotaped it," Trainor recounted. She had several interviews lined up, and in each of them, she had described herself as happy and beaming. "I said, 'I'm thriving.' I was so happy," she detailed.
During the interview that she conducted with Ryan Seacrest, her joy suddenly came out as blood. In a panic, Trainor ran to the bathroom. "I looked down and saw the blood gushing, noting that it ruined her chair," she recorded. Even in her panic, the singer kept her cool while still conducting the interview; she focused on her face to stay out of tears.
Keeping Composure Amid Fear
Holding her emotions in check, Trainor completed the interview. "I did that whole interview like, 'Don't cry, don't cry,' and then got through it," she said. After the interview was over, she immediately informed her people. "I shut the computer and was like, 'Hey team, I think I'm miscarrying right now.'" Because she was at work and in the bathroom, she locked the door, wanting to cry.
The relief on subsequent tests was found positive. She was also further assured after undergoing a blood test, which came out with high HCG levels, a hormone that proves the existence of a pregnancy. "And, like, the number is zero if you're not pregnant. My number was 90,000," Trainor remembers the huge difference when she learned that her pregnancy was still viable.
