The latest heartbreak follows a tough year for Hilaria and Alec, 61, who have beentrying for a fifth child.

At the time, Hilaria said she was choosing to speak out about the loss in hopes of encouraging people to keep talking about struggles of conceiving that so many often face.

“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,” she said.

Despite being open about her journey to conceiving and the recent pregnancy, Hilaria still received backlash from fans who questioned why she was sharing the news so early.

Weeks later, she opened up to PEOPLE further aboutwhy she felt compelled to talk about her pregnancy earlyon.

“The one thing that’s been liberating isI told people my first trimester,” she said of her latest pregnancy. “It was so stressful for me to have to keep it a secret on top of everything when you don’t feel well, and it’s like everyone is telling you to not say anything.”

“I announced my miscarriage as I was miscarrying, not after,” Hilaria recalled. “So I had already had that one as a preparation of doing something that is not typically done so publicly. This time, it was an opportunity of, ‘Hey, I can announce somethingas it’s happening, but it’s good news.’ ”

“Obviously there’s no guarantee — you don’t know,” she added. “I’m not even out of my first trimester yet, but everything is looking really well and I’m just going to be positive about it. I’m not superstitious, I’m just going to be positive. Everybody was very positive about it. I think people love babies.”
