Even though Karen and her husband Deon Derrico were blessed with fourteen beautiful and healthy children, Karen also suffered from six miscarriages. The trauma from her miscarriages continued to haunt her.
Despite hearing from her doctors that everything was fine with her pregnancy, a very anxious Karen felt that something wasn’t right in her body. So she decided to get an ultrasound done just to put her anxiety to rest. Sadly, during the ultrasound, the doctor couldn’t see anything or hear a heartbeat, turning Karen’s worst nightmare into reality. Karen immediately began feeling over the edge on learning that she had a seventh miscarriage. As she began grieving for her loss, several fans took to Twitter to remind Karen that her family was already blessed with 14 children and her body needed rest.
