After sharing her miscarriage publicly this past spring, Hilaria Baldwin took to Instagram again this week with news that she is expecting!
The fitness expert and author who has four children with husband Alec Baldwin, revealed the new pregnancy to followers with a video that appears to be a fetal heartbeat.
“It is still very early… but we have learned that there is a little person inside of me,” she wrote. “The sound of this strong heart makes me so happy — especially because of the loss we experienced in the spring. We want to share this news as we are excited and don’t want to hide the pregnancy.”
Baldwin explained that she is still in the very early stages of this new pregnancy.
“These first few months are tough with exhaustion and nausea…and I don’t want to have to pretend that I feel ok,” she wrote.
She further added a note to paparazzi, asking for their respect in her pregnancy, as “getting chased around by cameras is not in the doctor’s orders.”
Baldwin first made headlines in April after she shared about her miscarriage in real-time on social media.
In her post, Baldwin announced her pregnancy, but said that she was “most likely experiencing a miscarriage.”
She said she had always promised herself that she would share pregnancy news with fans “pretty early, even if that means suffering public loss.”
Five days later, her suspicions were confirmed.
“There was no heartbeat today at my scan… so it’s over,” she wrote, sharing a photo of her husband and four young kids. “But I have some pretty strong and amazing heartbeats right here. I am surrounded by such love and I feel so fortunate.”
1 in 4 pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Baldwin says it’s important to her that women know they’re not alone in their suffering. She’s openly used her platform (over 630k followers) to erase the stigma around miscarriage.
“This is something that has not been easy, and I understand it,” she told TODAY. “I wanted to come out and speak about it because it’s something so many people deal with, and as women, we’re trained to deal with it silently… I don’t think we have to live with such fear.”
