Anna went on to reveal that her most recent miscarriage occurred two days before Christmas, and she caused her to need a D&C.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a D&C is a "procedure to remove tissue from inside your uterus."

Regarding the D&C, the TLC star said: “It felt like I was giving birth, it was the worst pain of my life. It’s a really painful process, so I’m like you know let's give it one more try. "

During the ordeal, she discovered that she wasn't making enough progesterone which was "keeping the baby from getting enough nutrition."

This discovery came before her cancer diagnosis, and at the time she was determined to keep trying for her rainbow baby.  

She said: “We know what's going on now, and we are taking the right precautions to take care of it and make sure it stays alive and everything like that.”
