Why Was Celia Bleeding in the Help

She finds Miss Celia in the bathroom, bleeding heavily from another miscarriage, and learns that the bottles she has been drinking aren’t alcohol but a tonic to help prevent miscarriages..

What is wrong with Celia?

Celia’s biggest problem is that she believes she’s only worthy of Johnny’s love if she can give birth to children, but she’s plagued by miscarriages. She comes to learn that her husband loves her for who she is, and that she can live a happy life even though people like Hilly and Elizabeth don’t like her.

Why did hilly hate Celia in The Help?

Celia thinks that Hilly hates her because Hilly mistakenly believes she (Celia) is a man-stealer. In fact Johnny had broken up with Hilly before meeting Celia.
