'Sister Wives' Recap: Meri Reveals Her Sad Secret Miscarriage

Sister Wives Miscarriage

Plus, the Browns search for a new place to live — but all does not go according to plan.

After a year of searching, the Browns thought they finally found four perfect homes right next to each other on the June 3 episodes of Sister Wives, but they remained concerned the housing deal could fall through. ”We’ve had broken hearts before.” Kody Brown revealed in an emotional confession. “We have dealt with big heartbreaks in our lives and we have overcome all of it.”

After an investor decided to go in a different direction, Janelle wrote up a business plan for the fitness center the family is trying to open. She revealed that her own weight loss was a major eye opener about the positive effect fitness can have on people’s lives, and now she wants to help people “regain their lives” through fitness. Kody is supportive of Janelle’s dream, but admitted he’s concerned about the financial impact it could have on their family.

Meanwhile, Kody and Meri decided to consult a fertility specialist about their problems getting pregnant. As the first wife, Meri struggled while watching her fellow sister wives have children before her. She revealed that after they had their first daughter, Mariah, she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage.

“I didn’t understand why after another 12 years of trying,” Meri said through tears. “And then it was taken away from us and I didn’t understand that.”

After one fertility specialist recommended IVF, Meri and Kody decided to get a second opinion. The second specialist recommended using donor eggs, but the couple didn’t think that would be an option for them either.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Kody attended a special dance for daughters and fathers at the kids’ elementary school. The girls were extremely excited and dressed up for the occasion, and Meri even came over to Robyn‘s house to help get the girls ready for the dance. Meri admitted she feels separated from the young children because of their distant homes.

Later, in a confession, Robyn warmly told Meri, “I want my kids to have the exposure of you as a mother.”

The women then decided to decorate Kody’s car as a Valentine’s Day surprise. Robyn planned to ask Kody to borrow his car because she had a flat tire, and Kody almost ruined the surprise by trying to fix her tire instead of lending her the car! Thankfully, Christine helped distract Kody and the plan worked perfectly. Robyn told Kody she wrecked the car and needed him to come look at it, which is when the family surprised Kody with balloons and pink writing all over his car. Kody presented each of the wives with a bouquet of flowers to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

The family met with the loan officer and were shocked to learn that one of the properties they were looking at had been sold and the price was going to be double what they thought. The family decided that the best plan was to move on and keep looking for homes.

Do you think the Browns are making the right decision, HollywoodLifers?

I myself have always wanted the support of a sister wife before I even new they existed….however I consistantly see agony and pain on meri and christines faces. I think Janelle holds it in more for the sake of the family. Robyn is growing on me…I’m starting to believe shes in this for the family with the deep bond she shares with Meri

Why on earth aren’t they looking for 4 or 5 townhomes attached or 4 reasonably sized homes together. Those houses were too much.

yes the houses are to much and Meri I love her she is a good person But she is the most spoiled women I have ever seen .She needs to think about the whole family not just herself. She needs to get the fact that she dose not need a pool or a 5 bed room or 4 bed room house .They all walk on pins and needles around her and there are women who dont even get to have one child , She at least got the joy of a daughter and that is so wonderful. Be thankful u have had the chance to take care of her.

Did we watch the same episodes? Kody was NOT supportive of Janelle even though the idea of the gym was one of his whims. When the financial backing left, he lost interest. Yet he is looking into spending thousands of dollars to see if his 41 year wife can have another biological child. While I’m sympathetic to Meri wanting more biological children, if you are looking at finances (and remember this is a family with 3 bankruptcies, which I’m sure is why the bank will not grant them a traditional loan), then adding to the combined 17 children is not wise financially. Per the older children’s comments, they know the reality that dreams are promised in this family, but not fulfilled.

Calm down? She is only giving her opinion and I agree with her. Those 4 big houses are ridiculous! In the next few years 4 of those kids will be in college which will add to their expenses. They need to all get real.

The only wife I like is Janelle. Meri cries over everything, Christine (cant stand) and Robyn is ok. Janelle is level headed and is really pretty, even tho overweight. The reason Kody wants Meri to have more kids is because in the Morman faith, that is everything, building this huge family for eternity is what they believe.
