Michelle, 38, was part of MAFS' first double wedding in 2017, having walked down the aisle with her twin sister, Sharon.
But while she may have her twin by her side, Michelle wanted to speak out about her "very emotional journey" to remind "the high number of women" who may be experiencing something similar that they are not alone.
Michelle said, "Losing a baby makes you question yourself in so many ways." Instagram
"We were advised to wait one to two months before trying again, so while three miscarries seems a lot in 13 months, it's certainly not uncommon for couples trying, which I have grown to understand now," she told the publication.
"Losing a baby makes you question yourself in so many ways. What did I do wrong? What's wrong with me? Will I ever have a family?"
She added that the experience left her feeling guilty, sad and disappointed over "not knowing why".
Sharon describes her sister as "My twin, my bestie, my other half!" Instagram
