Eveis reflecting on her experience losing an ectopic pregnancy in 2006.
“I told them all it was appendicitis,” Eve writes in the book.
“It was called a tubal pregnancy, where the embryonic sac ruptured in my one fallopian tube.

Eve goes on to contemplate why she didn’t reveal the information sooner.

“Maybe because I was lying to myself.
“I can see how skinny I was.
Too skinny,” she writes.
“And too much in denial.
Eve notes that she did not fully reflect on the experience at the time.
“For years, I never grieved losing my first baby,” she says.
“I didnt know how to, but I eventually learned.
I had to speak to that baby and acknowledge their existence.

The singer later discovered that endometriosis and fibroids contributed to the ectopic pregnancy.
Back then, even discussing things like endometriosis was completely taboo.
People barely knew what it even was.
Again, no one told me any of this.
“After Wilde was born, I fully embraced being his mother,” she writes.
“Every moment he was fed, every moment he cried, everything I took it all in.”
