“There was no heartbeat today at my scan … so it’s over … ” shecaptioned the post, which featured a photo with her family. “But I have some pretty strong and amazing heartbeats right here.”
Last Thursday, Hilaria firstsaid she was “most likely experiencing a miscarriage”on Instagram, confessing that the “chances are very, very small that this is a viable pregnancy.” Her announcement was sharedalong with a mirror selfiethat showed her hand placed on her stomach.
“I want to share with you that I am most likely experiencing a miscarriage,” she wrote. “I always promised myself thatif 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.”

The next day, she sharedanother emotional post, assuring her fans and followers that she has “perspective to understand sadness and loss in the grand scheme of things.”
“Emotionally I am processing it all,” Hilariawrote on Instagram. “Being able to be open with you has been extremely healing. I was very nervous to share, and am so relieved that it was received with such love.”
Thanking her followers for “making my world a brighter place,” Hilaria said, “I don’t know about you, but I find it extremely comfortingto know that I am not aloneon this difficult journey.”

Most recently, Hilaria sat down with Savannah Guthrie andHoda Kotbon Tuesday’sTodayforan emotional interview, where sheadmitted her fearsthat she was “pretty sure” the pregnancy was “not going to stick.”
She revealed to Guthrie and Kotb that she ultimately decided to be open about her experience because hiding the news would have been harder than just being honest.
“It’s a lot to ask of me but for me personally, it’d be harder for me to do it silently,” the star confessed. “Say I was doing a fitness segment. I would be wearing something different so you could not see that my belly is a little bit bigger than it typically is. I would pretend I wasn’tnauseous and I would pretend Iwasn’t tired — and that’s really tiring. Then you put the emotion on top of that of, ‘Hey this isn’t going in a great direction,’ and that’s a lot to bear.”
“Beingopen, for me, just allowed meto relieve it a little bit,” Hilaria added. “Secrets are only scary when they’re secrets. Once you let the secret out, it’s not so scary anymore.”
