She said that opening up about fertility on a public platform is an open invitation for strangers to weigh in.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"1161\">She told <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/bozoma-saint-john-was-apprehensive-about-sharing-fertility-journey-on-rhobh-exclusive-11688939?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">PEOPLE<\/a> she hesitated to share because \u201cthere\u2019s criticism,\u201d including comments questioning her age, her past trauma, and even her relationship.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1163\" data-end=\"1526\">Boz said the \u201ctough exercise\u201d has been staying rooted in her reasons, doing the internal work to not let outside opinions steer her choices.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1528\" data-end=\"1854\">At the same time, she\u2019s also been met with real support. Boz shared that hearing from women and families who\u2019ve walked a similar road has been the best part. That connection is a big reason she feels more comfortable continuing to speak out.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1856\" data-end=\"1893\">Boz experienced a devastating loss<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1895\" data-end=\"2202\">Opening up about her fertility story on <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/01\/30\/rhobhs-amanda-frances-reveals-the-truth-behind-her-shocking-cult-past\/\">RHOBH<\/a>, Bozoma shared that her first pregnancy ended in loss after she developed early-stage preeclampsia, a condition associated with dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2204\" data-end=\"2403\">She said she discovered the complication five months in, and later went into labour and delivery at six-and-a-half months. Her baby daughter, Eve, sadly didn\u2019t survive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2405\" data-end=\"2697\">And then, in a detail that really shows how determined she is, she became pregnant again two months later, believing she was meant to be a mother.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2405\" data-end=\"2697\">That pregnancy led to her daughter Lael, now 15, whom she shares with her late husband, Peter Saint John, per <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/rhobh-star-bozoma-saint-john-opens-up-about-her-past-pregnancy-loss-11682793\">PEOPLE<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2699\" data-end=\"2749\">Bozoma bravely shares her fertility journey now<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_45122\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45122\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45122\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Helens-featured-images-2026-02-05T165441.369.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Helens-featured-images-2026-02-05T165441.369.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Helens-featured-images-2026-02-05T165441.369-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Helens-featured-images-2026-02-05T165441.369-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.realitytvshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Helens-featured-images-2026-02-05T165441.369-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-45122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"2751\" data-end=\"3111\">Today, Boz is attempting to conceive again with her boyfriend, <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2025\/03\/19\/rhobhs-bozoma-saint-john-is-super-successful-but-what-does-her-partner-keely-watson-do\/\">Keely Watson<\/a>, and she\u2019s not sugarcoating how intense it feels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2751\" data-end=\"3111\">On the show, she described the prospect as \u201cscary,\u201d especially because she\u2019s \u201c15 years older\u201d than the last time she carried a pregnancy and because her previous experience left emotional scars.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3113\" data-end=\"3371\">She also described her pregnancy with Lael as filled with fear, saying she felt \u201cterror\u201d at doctor\u2019s appointments after her earlier loss, that constant \u201cwhat if?\u201d that can steal your joy even when things are going well.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3373\" data-end=\"3677\">Boz noted that she and Keely hadn\u2019t yet met with a fertility doctor at the time she discussed it on the show.
