Wow! Is this TMI? Guess you have to give credit to the over-sharing Hilaria Baldwin for also over-sharing when things aren't great ... the yogi/journalist/wife of Alec posted a pic to Instagram, on Thursday, in which she's cradling a teeny tiny bump, with the caption: "I want to share with you that I am most likely experiencing a miscarriage. 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. I have always been so open with you all about my family, fitness, pregnancies…and I don’t want to keep this from you, just because it isn’t as positive and shiny as the rest.â€
"I think it’s important to show the truth,†she continued, “because my job is to help people by being real and open. Furthermore, I have no shame or embarrassment with this experience. I want to be a part of the effort to normalize miscarriage and remove the stigma from it. There is so much secrecy during the first trimester. This works for some, but I personally find it to be 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."
Then she got into the details ... "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.â€
"I am so blessed with my amazing doctor, my dear friends, and my loving family,†Baldwin wrote. “My husband and my four very healthy babies help me keep it together and have the perspective of how truly beautiful life is, even when it occasionally seems ugly. The luck and gratitude I feel that I am my babies’ mommy, is wonderfully overwhelming and comforting.â€
Then -- and it's sad she has to ask for this -- she begs commenters to have a heart: "In your comments, please be kind. 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."
Hilaria and Alec are VERY busy -- they already have four kids: daughter Carmen Gabriela, 5½, sons Romeo Alejandro David, 10 months, Leonardo Ãngel Charles, 2½, and Rafael Thomas, 3½.
