And the guilt went even further than just short-term actions Johnson East thought could’ve caused the loss. In her mind, the blame went as far back as her gymnastics years,when she competed as a child and teenagerbefore retiring from the sport in 2012, at the age of 20.
“I had had testing done and blood work done and [doctors] said everything was good, which was a good reassurance. But again, at that time ofmiscarriage, I couldn’t help but thinkI did enough damage to my body at a young age that it was almost, like, payback,” she said.
