She said on her iHeart podcast ‘I Choose Me with Jennie Garth’ alongside Dave: “This is a pretty vulnerable topic, and I really appreciate you being open to talking about it because I think it could help some people.
“What point in our relationship did we start talking about maybe wanting to have kids together?”
Dave said: “Well, if you remember, we got married on July 11, and then we got pregnant that same month.”
Jennie said: “We got pregnant naturally,” with Dave adding: “Yeah. We got back from Carmel. We went to a little mini honeymoon to Carmel up in Monterey. And like two weeks later, you were pregnant.
“Well, we went to Nancy, your doctor, the gynaecologist, and yeah, we were good to go.
“And then that lasted almost four months. And then, you know, we found out. “Yeah, we found out that there was no heartbeat.”
Jennie said about her miscarriages: “I think I remember them saying we could just wait and let it work its way – let nature take its course, or we could do the procedure.
“And we opted to do the procedure because it was just too much for me to carry a baby that had been terminated.”
Dave added about Jennie’s second miscarriage: “But then it happened again.
“So that one was shorter. I remember we had to switch doctors. And this one was only, you know, you found out you got pregnant.
“And then this was only like a month and a half. I think the doctor at the time was like, ‘Well, it’s not going to be healthy anyway’… and then by that time, I think it had definitely taken an emotional toll which we didn’t know how to communicate at the time.
“So we kind of just wrapped it up and then other things kind of came in the fold.”
