Roman, whose boyfriend is Reggie Youngblood, was 10 weeks pregnant and entering her 11th week when she lost their child.
“I am deeply saddened that after 10 1/2 weeks, we suffer this loss,” Roman said. “We knew this would be an uphill battle. We were up against the odds. I have a prolapsed uterus and am diabetic. I battle bouts of hypoglycemia due to my diabetes and my blood pressure continually ran high. We were prayerful, we had and still have faith. We are not giving up.”
A prolapsed uterus can be described in the following stages:
- First degree: The cervix droops into the vagina.
- Second degree: The cervix comes down to the opening of the vagina.
- Third degree: The cervix is outside the vagina.
- Fourth degree: The entire uterus is outside the vagina. This condition is also called procidentia. This is caused by weakness in all of the supporting muscles.

No matter who you are, miscarriages can happen to anyone. Here are 6 of the most common causes:
Untreated Illnesses Such as Thyroid Problems (Both Hyper- and Hypo-Thyroidism) and Uncontrolled Diabetes)
Immunologic Disorders – In some cases, though, the embryo isn’t accepted by the woman’s body. Antiphospholipid antibodies—antibodies that attack one’s own tissue, including embryos—account for many miscarriages
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) – Even in women who don’t have diabetes, PCOS causes insulin resistance, which prevents the endometrial lining from maturing properly
Lifestyle (Cigarettes, Alcohol, Drugs, Environmental Toxins) – as with anything, a healthy lifestyle cuts down on unhealthy veggies
Bacterial Infections – Many micro-organisms live harmlessly—even helpfully—in the male and female reproductive tracts. But certain bacteria can cause problems, including an increased risk of a miscarriage
