Hilaria Baldwin revealed she's pregnant for the fifth time just ten months after welcoming her son Romeo. The 35-year-old mama shared this news because she wants to be open and honest about her life, telling her followers she will most likely miscarry this pregnancy.
"I always promised myself that if I were to get pregnant again, I would share the news with you guys pretty early, even if that means suffering a public loss...and I don’t want to keep this from you, just because it isn’t as positive and shiny as the rest," she wrote in a lengthy, candid post.
Hilaria told her followers the she has "no shame or embarrassment" about her situation and wants to help "the effort to normalize miscarriage," as well as "remove stigma from it." While some expecting mothers choose to keep their pregnancies a secret for the first trimester, Hilaria decided to speak out because she finds the secrecy exhausting."I’m nauseous, tired, my body is changing. And I have to pretend that everything is just fine—and it truly isn’t. I don’t want to have to pretend anymore. I hope you understand," she explained.
She also went on to speak about the details of her difficult pregnancy and why a miscarriage is a likely outcome for her this time:
So, this is what is going on now: the embryo has a heartbeat, but it isn’t strong, and the baby isn’t growing very much. So we wait—and this is hard. So much uncertainty...but the chances are very, very small that this is a viable pregnancy. I have complete confidence that my family and I will get through this, even if the journey is difficult.
Hilaria credits her husband, Alec Baldwin, as well as their four kids for supporting her during this time. She also asked her followers to "please be kind" in the comments. "I’m feeling a bit fragile and I need support. I’m hoping, that by sharing this, I can contribute to raising awareness about this sensitive topic," she concluded.
