Hilaria Baldwin, currently in her first trimester, just posted on Instagram that she may be in the process of miscarrying her fifth pregnancy.

"I want to share with you that I am most likely experiencing a miscarriage," she wrote, alongside a photo of herself in her underwear, touching her small bump. "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."

The 35-year-old yogi and wellness guru—and wife to actor Alec Baldwin—has always been pretty transparent about the behind-the-scenes life of her famous family. She and Alec share four children—Carmen, 5; Rafael, 3; Leonardo, 2; and baby Romeo, 10 months.

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. I think it's important to show the truth...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. 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. I am so blessed with my amazing doctor, my dear friends, and my loving family...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. 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.

"So, this is what is going on now: the embryo has heartbeat, but it isn't strong, and the baby isn't growing very much," Hilaria continued. "So we wait—and this is hard. So much uncertainty...but the chances are very, very small that this is a viable pregnancy."

Hilaria said she decided to post about her experience to help "normalise miscarriage and remove the stigma from it." Her experience is far from uncommon: At least 10 percent of recognised pregnancies end in a miscarriage, per the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

Hilaria also got very real about the discomfort of the first three months, in general. "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."

Kudos to Hilaria for being strong enough to share her story with the world.
