Alec and Hilaria Baldwin expecting their fourth child

It is good that more and more women talk about this topic more openly. That selfie is of course unnecessary but whatever helps her dealing with it.

i have now finally understood what is going on with her pregnancy.
That IS a sad, scary situation.

How...HOW can she have had FOUR kids and have not one stretch mark?? Come on, I had 1 and I have stretch marks on my boobs, thighs and belly.



And seriously, why did she have to post a picture like this at all. Didn't think she'd get the point across if she has been clothed?

Maybe they are basically home nudists, and for her this is dressed up?

genetics. some people don't get stretch marks at all, some get them without even being pregnant. it's like cellulite. you can be skinny as hell and full of it, or fat and not have a drop of it.

or you can also photoshop the hell out of your photos.
Her proportions look f'ing weird to me here, I'm quite confident that blurring, filters and the photoshop wand came out to play.

Well, if that were the case, why didn't she do something about her face resembling Lara Flynn Boyle?

I've stumbled across her instagram recently and she has somehow grown on me. I don't know how.

While I do think this post is a bit "off" I can understand her point in posting and I appreciate her attempt to normalize and relate to those who have gone through something similar.

I started following her IG about a year ago and she definitely grew on me too. There's a sweet earnestness to her, despite some "look at me" posts. She clearly adores her children and they really super cute kids.

I don't have any stretch marks. But unlike Hilarious, I gained a shit ton of weight.

And I look at a cookie and get a stretch mark. Genetics suck.

I just want this woman to fuck off.
Despite already having 4 kids, a miscarriage is a horrible thing *but* she’s saying that it’s *likely*
Hilaria Baldwin says she is “most likely experiencing a miscarriage

She is also still pregnant but the foetus isn’t growing much but still has a heartbeat.
There are women out that that are bleeding and crying that *really are* having a miscarriage.
“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”

Without a doubt there is so much stigma surrounding fertility treatments, pregnancy and *not* having children for women.
Never forget that we’re “not proper women” for not being able to spawn, regardless of who the issue lies with...

I'm annoyed not by the message she is sending, but by the way she chose to send it. She could have easily just posted just a paragraph about what she's experiencing without the selfie visual aid. Hell, if she *had* to use a visual aid, a sonogram pic would have made more sense than a freaking lingerie selfie.

I'm also a little confused by the "most likely" experiencing a miscarriage comment; sometimes, women experience what's termed a "threatened miscarriage" at the beginning of a pregnancy, but then it ends up being viable and normal. Do they think she's miscarrying because there's no fetal heart tones, her hormone levels are dropping, or what? I'm not saying she's obligated to disclose details, but why speak out when you're not sure if you've definitely miscarried? Then again, why speak out at all?

I got stretch marks on my breasts and I'm a B cup ^^'
Genetics's a bitch

^^^Hold my beer.
I'm a DD.

I have stretch marks from a rapid growth spurt, but none whatsoever from pregnancy. Go figure.
