Whitney Portcontinues to have hopes of expanding her family after shesuffered a miscarriagelast month.
Port revealed she and husband Rosenman suffered a pregnancy loss on Nov. 17, two weeks after announcing she was seven weeks pregnant with “likely another unhealthy pregnancy.” Port has previously suffered two miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy.
“It is a daunting thought having to go through this process again and all the unknowns, but it is something that we’re looking into figuring out because I know that while I’m scared to get pregnant again and scared to miscarry again and scared for the newborn phase and scared for the breastfeeding, I’m scared for all of it, but I know that if I think about my life in 20 years and I look back that, I will regret not going through those things,” she explains.
Due to her history of miscarriages, theWith Whitpodcast host — who also shares 4-year-oldSonny Sanfordwith Rosenman — says her doctor told her it’s “safest” to speak to a fertility specialist, though she has “no idea what that looks like.”
“It’s totally new territory for me, but it’s just a little bit too scary to leave it to fate again at this point with my history,” she adds.

“Whatever happens next is really just extra and I really do believe that,” she continues.
“I just feel I’ve realized that my place on social media is founded in vulnerability,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s normalized now to talk about these things, but I think that every person has a different following, a different perspective, a different voice, a different experience. And so the more that I can share my perspective, the more people like me out there will feel less alone.”

“I’m not sure how much he understood or grasped,” she continues. “And then when it did happen, we ended up telling him, ‘It stopped growing inside Mommy’s belly, but we’re going to keep working on it.’ And he just said in response, ‘Well maybe you just need some more time.’ "
In herYouTube update shared on Nov. 17, Port and Rosenman said that at their latest visit the “doctor didn’t hear a heartbeat.”
