Radio DJ Sharyn Casey has penned an emotional blog post about experiencing multiple miscarriages within the same year.
Casey and her husband, fellow DJ Bryce Casey, from The Rock, decided to speak out about their loss following a second unsuccessful pregnancy.

"We went through this pretty much in silence. Sure, our families knew, a couple of people we were very close to at work knew… but that was it."
"We were silent because we almost felt embarrassed that this [had] happened to us, we felt embarrassed to tell our closest friends," Casey wrote in an emotional blog post.

"That was your baby. You had dreams for that baby. You loved that baby and you do not have to hide that."
The former Dancing with the Stars co-host revealed she was "happy beyond belief" when she first discovered she was pregnant.

"Every moment revolved around doing the right thing by my baby – what I ate, the exercise I did, not stressing myself… I have never felt such intense love for something I'd never met."

In her candid post, Casey described calling her sister after discovering she had miscarried at six weeks.
"It wasn't there, the baby is gone, it wasn't there".

The radio and television personality chose to speak up in order to encourage other Kiwi women going through similar experiences to do the same.

"I couldn't believe it when women that I idolised at work… pulled me aside and told me they had been through it," she wrote.

"Don't suffer in silence. Talk to people about how you're feeling, grieve for your loss and don't ever think you're less because you had [a miscarriage] because you're not."
