Brazilian model and host Natália Subtil announced on social media that she suffered a miscarriage, describing it as a chemical pregnancy at five weeks and three days of gestation. The news came after years of trying to expand her family, and she shared the emotional journey with her followers, including the moment she told her daughter Mila, who had long wished for a sibling.
In a heartfelt post, Subtil explained that the pregnancy had brought immense joy to her household. "La ilusión llenó nuestra casa. Mi pareja estaba inmensamente feliz por la llegada de su primer hijo," she wrote, detailing how they had begun choosing names and buying baby clothes. She had also planned a special public reveal, but instead had to share a farewell. "Nunca imaginé que el momento de hablar con ustedes sería para contar una despedida en lugar de un anuncio," she said.
A chemical pregnancy is a very early miscarriage, occurring before the fifth week, often before an ultrasound can detect the fetus. It is identified by a positive pregnancy test due to hCG hormones, which then decline when the embryo stops developing. Subtil noted she was past the typical window, at five weeks and three days, making the loss particularly difficult.
Subtil's followers responded with an outpouring of support, with many sharing their own experiences of loss. One user wrote, "Solo las madres que tenemos angelitos en el cielo sabemos lo que sientes," while another encouraged her to speak about it to heal. Some also called for greater empathy toward women experiencing pregnancy loss, criticizing dismissive comments.
Following the news, speculation arose about whether the baby was fathered by Sergio Mayer Mori, the father of her daughter Mila. However, Subtil's current partner is a man named Carlos, whom she introduced publicly in September 2023. The couple had been excited about becoming parents.
