Facebook Founder, Mark Zuckerberg is having a baby after 3 miscarriages!

Amazing news guys!

Mark Zuckerberg is expecting his first child with his wife Priscilla Chan.

The Facebook boss made the announcement in a Facebook post – saying the couple are expecting a baby daughter.


He wrote: ‘This will be a new chapter in our lives. We’ve already been so fortunate for the opportunity to touch people’s lives around the world — Cilla as a doctor and educator, and me through this community and philanthropy. Now we’ll focus on making the world a better place for our child and the next generation.’

While he didn’t say when the baby was due, he revealed that the couple had gone through three miscarriages together in the last two years.

He said: ‘We want to share one experience to start. We’ve been trying to have a child for a couple of years and have had three miscarriages along the way.

‘You feel so hopeful when you learn you’re going to have a child. You start imagining who they’ll become and dreaming of hopes for their future. You start making plans, and then they’re gone. It’s a lonely experience. Most people don’t discuss miscarriages because you worry your problems will distance you or reflect upon you — as if you’re defective or did something to cause this. So you struggle on your own.’

He acknowledged in his post that many people are reluctant to talk about miscarriages but said he and Chan, who is a doctor, decided to share the information after hearing from friends who had similar experiences and ultimately were able to have children.

He said the couple hope to encourage other parents who may be struggling with difficult pregnancies.
