Having a miscarriage is a traumatic experience. “Let’s Dance” star Renata Lusin had to experience this three times in just one year. Together with her husband Valentin Lusin, who dances with Anna Ermakova in this year’s “Let’s Dance” season, the 35-year-old has been trying to have a baby for two years. So far in vain.
For her great wish, Lusin even canceled her participation a few days before the start of the new “Let’s Dance” season this year. At that time, the dancer already knew that she was pregnant, and her doctor then banned her from dancing. “Normally I would not have told anyone about it at such an early stage – it was the 6th or 7th week,” says Lusin of the “Bild”. “But I definitely didn’t want to lie.”
In the first live show of the show, the dancer even announced the happy news to the audience herself – only to find out about her renewed miscarriage just a few weeks later. It was a very bad time, she recalls. “Especially after we already knew that the embryo had come off and everyone was still congratulating us and asking about my stomach. My miscarriage was kind of embarrassing,” says Lusin.
The pity that was shown to her was particularly bad – a very uncomfortable feeling for her. “I always want to be strong and not be regretted. That felt wrong for me, I don’t want to be a victim. A miscarriage happened, I was sad and let’s move on!” says the Russian.
Shortly thereafter, Lusin reported to her fans on Instagram. “Dear ones, I would have liked to tell you my situation personally, now you had to find out through the press,” she says in her story. Now she has to deal with the situation first. As the professional dancer said in an interview, she received “thousands of messages” in which women reported similarly bad experiences. “That moved me deeply,” said Lusin.
The dancer remembers the difficult time after the sad news: “It was a Thursday when I found out. Then on Saturday, with the dead baby in my stomach, I danced at a show. With autographs, smiles and everything . We were booked, we didn’t want to disappoint anyone.” The following Monday, the embyro was then scraped out, as she explains, the unborn child had stopped developing in the early stages and died as a result.
However, the beautiful Russian does not allow herself long periods of mourning. After every miscarriage she experienced, she “allowed herself only one day of mourning and tears.” The second miscarriage was the most traumatic, Lusin recalls. At that time she was already in the 13th week of pregnancy: “I saw the heartbeat on the ultrasound, the little arms and legs moved. And when the neck folds were measured, the doctor said to me: ‘Excuse me, but the heart is beating no longer.'”
The exact reason for the three miscarriages is not yet clear. Shortly after the last miscarriage, Lusin said in an interview with “RTL” that she “constantly had to take medication” to get her period. If the pregnancy test was positive, she then had to stop taking the drug because it could lead to “malformation of the foetus”. Her suspicion has not yet been medically confirmed.
“I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I do a lot of sport, I don’t have too much stress. We’re still testing whether everything is okay with my uterine lining,” says Lusin. “Let me put it this way: the plant, i.e. me, seems to be okay. Now we have to see if something is wrong with the soil.”
On Friday (April 14) the dancer celebrates her return to “Let’s Dance”. She dances the opening dance and coaches the jury dance together with jury member Motsi Mabuse. “I’m really happy!” she says. “In terms of condition, I’m not quite up to 100 percent again, I’ll have to be carried off the floor after these two minutes of full power. But I’m back and going full throttle again!”
And Lusin does not give up when it comes to pregnancy either. After a medical examination, she and her husband Valentin Lusin want to try again to get pregnant. “I will probably never be able to experience such a beautiful and relaxed pregnancy as other women. I will automatically always be afraid that something will happen again. Which, given my story, is certainly totally understandable.”
