The How I Met Your Mother star said she was shopping at a Whole Foods in New York City with her son Gus when she started bleeding eight weeks into her pregnancy.

Ashley in an essay on Medium for the Human Development Project called for more openness on the subject and said she hopes to 'normalize' her miscarriage by publicly addressing it.

''You are not broken. You did nothing wrong. You are strong, you are brave, and there is hope,' she wrote.
