Apparently she had a missed miscarriage six weeks ago (@ 9w). She'll be talking about it on an upcoming episode of The View and specifically about the stigma surrounding miscarriage.

She's also started a miscarriage support website:

I saw that too and was all impressed and excited until I went to the website. It's very corporate looking and for ALL female issues/needs (which is fine btw). The pregnancy/mc section of the message board had ONE post from someone expressing fears/anxiety (I think leading up to u/s) during THIS pregnancy because she lost her last baby.

The reply felt patronizing to me. Along the lines of, "But you have a healthy baby now... celebrate and "just relax" crap only someone who's never been there might say.

Oh yuck! I just looked at it, too. Yeah, I don't know how I feel about it.....

That sucks that the website isn't very good because I've always been a big fan of Lisa Ling. I hope her interview on the View goes well. Poor thing.

Totally agree. She is a good journalist, but the website does not meet up with that.
