The former AFL WAG, 40, shared the heartbreaking pregnancy loss she suffered in July last year amid her journey with partner Peter Dugmore. 

In the wake of her revelation, Nadia took to Instagram to call out men who had made revolting comments about her tragic news.

She reposted a series of screenshots from feminist advocate Sherele Moody, which exposed a string of disgusting comments from men posting under news stories about Nadia's story.

One screenshot showed a very crude sexual comment, shared on , that attempted to make light of Nadia's pregnancy heartbreak.

Even more troubling was the support the post received from other male commenters. 

'Comment of the week,' one offered.

Another wrote: 'That’s gold,' along with immature laugh emojis, while a third offered a simple: 'LOL'. 

It didn't end there, with another writing: 'You get that. Now, what about some real news?'

One cruel commenter added: 'Nature doing its work.'  

Sherele's Red Heart Movement, which highlights violence against women,  also shared the profiles of the men involved in her screenshot.

The post was met with a flurry of support for Nadia, with many calling out the commenters for their cruelty.

'Not all men yet somehow always a man,' one wrote.

Another chimed in with a similar: 'Are men ok? How can anyone think miscarriage is something to turn into vile sexist humour?' 

A third added: 'I'm not a fan of Nadia but nobody NOBODY deserves that kind of vile hatred and horrible comments directed towards them.' 

Nadia, who shares Aston, 10, and Henley, seven, with her ex-husband Jimmy Bartel,

She explained she had a 'missed miscarriage' when she was seven weeks pregnant, and said she found the experience incredibly 'tough'.     

'I think when you are pregnant, even if it's early days, you imagine your life with the baby... you get so attached to your pregnancy and your baby,' she continued.

'When something like that happens it's really disheartening.'

'I've gotten to the point that I feel like it is really important for me to really normalise it and just take the stigma out of talking about IVF, infertility, miscarriage,' she added.

'It's something that I know is deeply personal and I totally understand when people wouldn't want to talk about it.

'It is really hard opening up that conversation, especially when you are going through it and you're really struggling.
