I struggled for a while. … For a while I didn’t think that I could get pregnant.” While Vikander was initially on the fence about sharing her pregnancy loss, she decided the “tough” experience was too “universal” to keep to herself.
“I kind of stopped and thought, ‘Am I going to talk about this?’” she explained. “But so many women go through similar things.”The Oscar winner went on to say that her miscarriage experience gave “another meaning” to her role in “The Light Between Oceans” in 2016, in which her character, Isabel Graysmark, lost two pregnancies.
