“It was something we wanted and pictured ourselves,” she said.
So everything just kinda went blank."
TheDWTSperformer also recalled how hearing testimonies from women who’d had similar experiences helped her throughout the process.
“I think grieving on your own is so, so difficult,” she said.

Karagah said she wanted to share her own story to help others who’ve dealt with miscarriages.
“I want people to know they’re not alone,” she said.
“There’s way more people going through it than people think.
A lot of them just don’t come out and say anything, and you know what?
You don’t have to.
You don’t have to say anything.
But just know that you’re not alone.
It’s not your fault.”
The dancer also admitted that her miscarriage made her more anxious during her later pregnancy.
“I was so scared.
Personally, after that happened to me, I was paranoid.”
Karagach and Pashkov welcomed their first child, Nikita, in May 2023.
“Nikita is literally just like the best thing that’s ever happened,” she said.
We’re just like, ‘We created a human.
After everything we’ve been through.'"
