‘Selling Sunset' star Mary Fitzgerald says she had septic miscarriage and had to have surgery: 'Still hope'

"Selling Sunset" star Mary Fitzgerald revealed Friday she had a septic miscarriage recently and needed to have surgery. 

The 42-year-old explained in an Instagram video she and husband Romain Bonnet, 29, were on their honeymoon in Bali earlier this year when she got pregnant, "and, unfortunately, that didn't work out. And on top of the miscarriage," she said she "also apparently had what they called septic miscarriage, so I had to go in for surgery for that."

The reality star reiterated she had promised to keep her fans updated on her fertility journey. 

"The reason why I'm speaking out now is because I do realize how common this is and how many people go through this, and it is not easy. I needed a minute because there are so many eyes on me, and everyone judges and everything. And it has been rough to say the least, but there's still hope," she said through tears.

"And I just wanted to share my journey because I’m going to continue to share it because we’re going to keep trying. And I’m going to leave it at that." 

She said she would continue to share any news as they try to have a baby, "and we’re going to have very good news, very soon."

She added that "everyone goes through this, it’s so common" and reached out to others who might be experiencing the same thing, saying "you’re not alone, and we’re going to get there."

Bonnet responded in the comments, "it’s just the beginning of our journey my princess and i promise I will always be here to support you in every step of the way."

Her "Selling Sunset" co-stars Amanza Smith and Brett Oppenheim also posted supportive comments, calling her the "Most beautiful human inside and out" and saying, "We will always be here to support you and Romain, through anything. Love you."

The Marburg virus is an infectious disease that has high fatality rates and, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), has epidemic potential

This week, the CDC announced that it is sending its National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases to respond to the outbreaks in Guinea and Tanzania.

This week, the CDC urged travelers in Guinea and Tanzania to avoid contact with sick people, healthcare facilities in the outbreak areas and to watch for symptoms for three weeks after leaving the area.

In February, Equatorial Guinea announced the first outbreak of the virus and the country has since counted officially nine cases with an additional 20 probable cases, all of whom have died, according to WHO.

About 1,800 miles away, across the continent, Tanzania is also reporting a Marburg outbreak and has confirmed eight cases, including five deaths, according to WHO.

The virus is a rare and deadly disease which causes fever, chills, muscle pain, rash, sore throat, diarrhea, weakness or unexplained bleeding or bruising.

According to the CDC, the Marburg virus can be spread through "blood or body fluids of a person infected with or who has died from Marburg."

The virus is also spread by contact with contaminated objects (such as clothing, bedding, needles, and medical equipment) or by contact with animals, such as bats.

In 2018, at the Queen Elizabeth National Park in the Python Cave, CDC scientists spearheaded a project after tourists and nearby village experienced outbreaks of the virus. 

According to the CDC, health experts investigated where the bats go at night to better understand how the virus is transmitted to humans by putting GPS units on the backs of bats to track their movements.
