Angelina Pivarnick Opens Up About Miscarriage on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation

Angelina Pivarnick is opening up about a painful personal loss.

The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 39, got emotional during Thursday's episode (June 4) when she disclosed that she has suffered a miscarriage. The pregnancy loss came approximately a month after she had announced she was expecting in a previous episode.

During the episode, Angelina spoke candidly with her friend Dana Lasalla about what happened. In a confessional segment, she described the moment she realized something was wrong.

"I woke up in the middle of night, 4 o'clock in the morning. I didn't feel good at all. I was very dizzy," Angelina recounted. "I went to the bathroom. I was bleeding. I was like, 'What the …'"

She went on to explain that she subsequently visited her doctor, trailing off as she shook her head and quietly said, "Yeah."

Dana offered her support as Angelina processed her emotions surrounding the miscarriage. "I can't believe this happened. I feel so bad. No woman should ever have to go through this, it's horrible," Dana said to her. Angelina responded by saying, "It kills me, dude."

In her confessional, Angelina elaborated on the deeper emotional weight of the loss. She explained that she had been particularly hopeful about starting a family of her own.

"I just really wanted a family so bad because I don't have my own," she shared. "I can't build a family with a family that's broken. I have to build my own f–king family."

As tears streamed down her face, she added, "I wasn't able to do that. So that's what's upsetting to me…It just sucks, all this."
