The photos of Marilyn Monroe pregnant came to light: what disease prevented her from giving birth?
The beautiful artist dreamed of being a mother but she never could. They claim that she lost four babies.
Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, at the age of 36, unable to bring a child into the world. Those who knew her assured that this was her greatest desire. In recent days, Daily Mail published some unpublished images where she looks very happy and a few weeks pregnant.
The postcards were taken in July 1960, at Fox Studios, while she was married to Arthur Miller. However, the baby was not from her husband. Her real father was Yves Montand, whom she met on the set of the movie Let's Make Love and with whom she had a very public affair.
But who sold those photos? The person responsible was Frieda Hull, one of her close friends. The woman auctioned the collection in Hollywood and Hull's neighbor Tony Michaels bought them.
"Frieda was very proud of those images and she told me that Marilyn was pregnant with Yves Montand. It was not an assumption, they knew for sure," said the man.
Her wishes to become a mother could not be fulfilled. Marilyn suffered from endometriosis, a chronic disease that affects the endometrial tissue of the female reproductive system, and that, being the first symptoms similar to menstrual cramps, is often confused and that takes time to be diagnosed. when the endometrium -which lines the inside of the uterus- detaches and travels through the fallopian tubes until it spreads to other areas, such as the ovaries, pelvis or bladder. Normally, this tissue is shed with each menstruation and a new one grows in the next menstrual cycle, but the adherence of the endometrium in these organs - called endometriosis - can cause pain, irregular bleeding and, in some cases, fertility problems.
