In a comment made on Instagram, the actor revealed that she has “lost nine children” through miscarriages over the years.
Stone, 64, who adopted her three sons Roan, 22, Laird, 17, and Quinn, 16, revealed that going through the experience of miscarriages is “no small thing”.
Writing in a comment beneath a post on US magazine People’s Instagram page, the Basic Instinct star also discussed the lack of support for females experiencing the same thing.
She insisted that women are made to feel that losing a baby is “something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure”.

“We don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss,” she added.
The Instagram post on People’s social media page was promoting a joint interview with Dancing with the Stars professionals Peta Murgatroyd and her husband Maks Chmerkovskiy. Murgatroyd told the publication that she suffered a third miscarriage earlier this year when Chmerkovskiy was in Ukraine.
Stone also said that being left in the care of the “male ideology” was ignorant, and “violently oppressive in effort.”
Stone wrote in the comments: “We, as females, don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage.”
“It is no small thing, physically nor emotionally yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure.”
“Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need. Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology has become lax at best, ignorant in fact, and violently oppressive in effort.”
