The 47-year-old actress, best known for playing Arizona Robbins on Grey’s Anatomy, shared her experience while opening up about her kids on an episode of her Call It What It Is podcast with co-star Camilla Luddington.

Jessica responded to a listener who asked if having a third child was a good decision. She and her husband Christopher Gavigan share four kids – Luke, 16, Eve, 13, Poppy, 12, and Josephine, 8.

During the podcast, Jessica revealed when the miscarriage happened and how it affected her family.

“For me, I came from a big family, so I think that it was very natural and I didn’t feel overwhelmed,” Jessica said about having multiple kids.

She continued, “And Luke is three years older than Eve, and then Poppy is only 20 months younger than Eve. So we went like boom boom. It was Luke, and a break then Eve, and then I got pregnant when Eve was 10 months old.”

“I got pregnant and I was so excited and I had never had any issues before getting pregnant. I was very lucky and I’m very grateful. And then all of a sudden, at my 10-week appointment, [I] went in for the ultrasound, was by myself, totally unsuspecting, and there was no heartbeat,” she said, adding that it was “the most shocking and deeply, deeply sad thing.”

Jessica talked about how she had to figure out how to tell her husband about the miscarriage.

“And then you know, life carried on, and I had a chance to take care of myself and my body and my relationship and my other children, and it was really incredible,” she said.

Jessica recently explained why she didn’t like her co-host Camilla when they first met.
