Michelle Obama says she felt 'lost and alone' after suffering a miscarriage 20 years ago, as she opens up about 'having to do' in vitro fertilization in order to conceive her two daughters with husband Barack. 

The former first lady, 54, opened up about her miscarriage in her new memoir, Becoming, explaining in an interview with Good Morning America on Friday that she made the decision to share her own painful experiences in order to help others who have been through a similar loss. 

'I felt like I failed because I didn’t know how common miscarriages were because we don’t talk about them,' she said while speaking with anchor Robin Roberts. 'We sit in our own pain, thinking that somehow we’re broken.'
