Miscarriage, as common as it is among couples today, can take a toll on your mental health. And to deal with it thrice can be even more depressing. In a Q&A session hosted by Mark Zuckerburg, which had people asking questions online in real time, he opened up about his wife going through three miscarriages. His wife is pregnant again and healthy, too. 'When you first realise that you're pregnant, you're the happiest, and you're making all these plans and imagining the future. Suddenly it's all gone. It's a very deeply isolating experience. For some reason, in our culture, we don't talk about these things (miscarriage and announcing pregnancy)', he responded to a question about his wife's pregnancy.

Like every other parent, he too wishes that his daughter lives in a world which is more open, safe and connected. She should be able to learn from whoever she wants to. A doting father, we must say! Watch the video to know more. Read: 5 reasons why dads should practice kangaroo care
