Sharon Stone has revealed she lost nine children by miscarriage, describing it as a profound loss that women are made to "bear alone" and with a "sense of failure".

The "Basic Instinct" actress, 64, opened up about her experience in an Instagram post.

"We, as females, don’t have a forum to discuss the profundity of this loss. I lost nine children by miscarriage," she wrote.

Her comments were in response to an interview with Dancing With The Stars performer Peta Murgatroyd who detailed her own miscarriage in People magazine.

Stone, who has three sons through adoption, went on to say that losing a pregnancy was "no small thing, physically nor emotionally".

She added: "Yet we are made to feel it is something to bear alone and secretly with some kind of sense of failure. Instead of receiving the much needed compassion and empathy and healing which we so need."

"Female health and wellness left to the care of the male ideology has become lax at best, ignorant in fact, and violently oppressive in effort."

The film star's revelation came after Mrs Murgatroyd, 35, described losing her baby while her husband, fellow Dancing With The Stars performer Maks Chmerkovskiy, 42, was away in Ukraine.

Stone has previously spoken candidly about suffering several miscarriages as a result of an autoimmune condition while married to journalist Phil Bronstein from 1998 until 2003.

She later chose to adopt three boys - Roan, now 22, Laird, 17 and Quinn, 16.

Stone was approved to adopt her first son Roan, who was born in 2000, while on the way home from having a miscarriage.

In an interview last year, she described having three miscarriages while five and a half months pregnant.

"They thought I had five multiple pregnancies, and I kept losing them," she told the Times.

"One after the next after the next, heartbeat would go. And the final baby died, and I could feel it and I knew it."

During one, she went through 36 hours of labour alone, she said.

An estimated 23 million miscarriages occur globally every year, with one in 10 women suffering a pregnancy loss in their lifetime, according to The Lancet medical journal.

'Global sisterhood'

Stone has praised a "global sisterhood" of women who have broken the taboo around subjects like miscarriage.

She has expressed particular gratitude towards the nurses who cared for her during her last miscarriage and celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and Vanessa Kirby who have spoken openly about their experiences.

"When I lost my last baby, and then went back to the hospital and had 36 hours of labour on my own to, of course, birth nothing - and the nurses... came in and sat with me on their day off," she told BBC's Radio 4's Woman's Hour.

"I really felt such a strong sense of sisterhood and understanding. Because I would have been alone. And that's such an alone feeling anyway."

She went on: "I think we're finally reaching a point in our global sisterhood, where we speak to the issues of loss and heartache and rape and brutalisation and all of the things that happened to us and to our bodies, and that our minds and heart have to go through and we're not carrying the water anymore."
