There are more and more women deciding to speak about their miscarriages publicly, where once it was thought shameful or taboo to do so.

Beyoncé (as well as Jay-Z) has slowly been revealing a history of miscarriages.

Lily Allen has been open about her tragic miscarriages, one of which was technically a traumatic still birth, as the pregnancy was so advanced.

Nicola Sturgeon notably revealed she herself suffered a miscarriage at the age of 40, whilst she was Deputy First Minister.

However, considering one in four women suffer from miscarriages, the conversation is still suspiciously quiet.

We know that talking and sharing are effective tools when battling depression, grief and more.

The royals, Prince Harry and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, have been particularly vocal about the importance of opening up and speaking out about feelings of depression, grief or isolation, with the mental health charity 'Heads Together'.

Now there is a woman in the US who is attempting to dismantle the secrets shrouding miscarriage with her Instagram page, 'I Had A Miscarriage'.

The project is run by Jessica Zucker, M.P.H., Ph.D. an L.A.-based psychologist.

She was 16 weeks pregnant with her second child, in 2012, when she suffered a miscarriage.

Zucker had already been treating women after pregnancy loss for 10 years, as she specialised in women's reproductive and maternal mental health, when she went through it herself.

According to Self, it was only then she truly understood the true weight of stigma surrounding miscarriage.

After two years mourning the loss of her baby and working through the murky reality of her situation, she decided to speak publicly about her journey.

In 2014 she started talking, and she wrote a heart-wrenching personal essay for the New York Times on 15th October, the US' 'Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day'.

In it she describes, in detail, the experience of losing her child in her home, alone.

After carrying the foetus to the doctors in a bag as she was hemorrhaging, her placenta was removed.

'Two hours later I went back to my house and was no longer pregnant,' Zucker told Self. 'That was pretty much the most profound thing that ever happened in my life. The most traumatic.'

She started the hashtag #IHadAMiscarriage on Twitter, encouraging other women to shaw their stories, to show that they are not alone.

Now the platform has grown to an Instagram account.

The posts include Zucker's personal ruminations on lost motherhood.

As well as contributed posts from other women around the world.

They page explores different aspects of the loss, including 'rainbow babies'.

Rainbow babies are the babies that come after a miscarriage.

The idea is that after a storm, a rainbow appears as a sign of hope.

It also means that the rainbow baby could not have arrived without the storm, helping women view their miscarriages as something that should not be hidden.

Rainbow baby pregnancy can also be extremely difficult due to the fear that it will all happen again, 'I was [debilitated], psychologically, through my subsequent pregnancy," Zucker says. "Pregnancy after loss...you're basically returning to the very place of your trauma. You are meant to be there for nine months, every single day.'

Under the stories that she shares are endless messages of appreciation and sharing. It's clear these messages are taking effect - helping people heal and lifting the fog of loneliness.
