The challenges of talking about miscarriages

More women are sharing their personal experiences with early pregnancy loss. Beyoncé, Michelle Obama, Carrie Underwood and recently Meghan McCain all spoke publicly about their miscarriages, in hopes of breaking the culture of silence.

Stelter now has a two-year-old daughter, Sunny, and is due to have another baby in two weeks. She joins "CBS This Morning" along with Dr. Tara Narula to discuss why it's so difficult to talk about miscarriages.
