In the episode that aired two weeks later, on Thursday, May 28, the 39-year-old said, "I'm just not feeling myself. Some stuff's happening with me and my pregnancy, and I don't know what's going on and I don't even know what to do,”
She then told her pregnant castmate Sammi 'Sweetheart' Giancola, who was then-pregnant with her 9-month-old son Vincent, that she saw spotting — light bleeding that can be a sign of pregnancy loss — and wasn't feeling good.
Giancola, 39, said that she was "spotting right away" when she had her own miscarriage in 2024, and urged Pivarnick to go to the ER.

The episode, which was filmed in 2025, finished with a teaser for the June 4 episode, in which Pivarnick confirmed, "I woke up in the middle of the night. I'm actively miscarrying."
Ahead of the May 28 episode airing, Pivarnick wrote on X that she was "ready to watch this sad episode," before sharing posts from viewers who shared their condolences and well-wishes.
She wrote on X later, "All I ever wanted was a family of my own."
In the season's premiere, on May 7, Pivarnick explained that she was hoping to get pregnant, and kept a vial of sperm in her refrigerator.

She took a pregnancy test during the episode a week later and was surprised to see it turn positive. "There's no way that it just happened naturally ... There's no sperm donor now,” she said at the time.
“This could be a great thing," she continued. "This could be my fairy tale, my path, my baby.”
After the episode aired, Pivarnick confirmed the news on X, writing, “I'm pregnant !!!! #jsfamilyvacation."
"Guys secrets out !!! I'm pregnant :)," she wrote in another X post. "Thankful for @SammiSweetheart for being by my side when I found out. #jsfamilyvacation."

She was previously married to sanitation worker Chris Larangeira, but the couple divorced in 2022.
