“90210” star Jennie Garth shares she had back-to-back miscarriages after getting remarried
Garth is mom to three adult daughters with ex-husband Peter Facinelli.
Jennie Garth looked back on a painful time in her personal life on Tuesday's edition of iHeartPodcasts' I Choose Me with Jennie Garth.
The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum and husband Dave Abrams, whom she married in 2015, talked about her having had two miscarriages shortly after they wed. Garth was already the mom of three daughters — Fiona, now 18; Lola, 21; and 27-year-old Luca — that she shares with ex-husband Peter Facinelli.
"I think at that time, I was feeling really down on myself, really ashamed, feeling like I was disappointing you, like I wasn't able to carry a pregnancy with you, who I loved," Garth said. "And I had had these three beautiful daughters with Peter, and you had stepped in and become such a wonderful stepdad to them."
She added, "And so I remember I so, so, so wanted to give you a baby boy."
It just didn't work out that way.

The two remembered Garth, who's now 52, first having become pregnant following their mini honeymoon. Abrams said he was "in shock," but they discovered after almost four months that the baby was without a heartbeat.

Garth underwent a procedure to clear the uterine lining.
"I think I remember them saying we could just wait and let it work its way," Garth said. "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."
The second time Garth miscarried, the pregnancy lasted only a month and a half before they received the upsetting news from a new doctor. Garth underwent another DNC.

"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," Abrams said. "So we kind of just wrapped it up and then other things kind of came in the fold."
Both went through "deep sadness and grief," Garth said.
