Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria responds to criticism surrounding her miscarriage

Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria Baldwin has spoken out about the criticism she's received from talking about her recent miscarriage.

The 35-year-old bravely took to Instagram two weeks ago to open up about her miscarriage — which was the second one she has suffered in seven months — but soon found herself the target of online trolls.

The mother-of-four posted a series of Instagram stories addressing the negative comments she's been receiving, saying people have been calling her an "attention seeker", "too old" and "disgusting".

Hilaria said that losing a baby at any stage is "hitting rock bottom".

"Rock bottom sucks," she wrote on Instagram Stories. "But rock bottom is also eye opening. Because you understand and have experienced true pain. It makes the trolls seem even smaller than they usually are. Because no words they can use can ever compare to what you have lost."

Hilaria asked that people "stop the shaming of women, simply trying to create family and love", and to have "love and support" for those who have suffered miscarriages.

"Those of you who bully women who suffer as I have are bringing a cruelty to the world that is so wrong," Hilaria continued on her story. "You are contributing to feelings of shame, fear, insufferable pain."

Hilaria said she opened up about her miscarriage because so many choose to stay silent.

"It is for this reason that I have stepped forward and shared as I have," she said. "Not for attention, but because it is my life story and I decided to open up.

"You think I wanted this???" she asked. "I have experienced this pain that countless women before and with me have and we should make their…OUR…lives…easier, not more difficult."

Hilaria said she chose to make her struggle public to let other women know they are not alone.

"We are not 'broken,'" she wrote. "We are just opening ourselves up to love. And we should never be ashamed of this… even when it doesn't go as planned."

Weeks ago, husband Alec showed his support fro his wife by posting a photo of the two of them with the caption, "This woman is my best friend. I don't know what my world would be like if I had not met her and made my life with her."

Hilaria and Alec, 61, are parents to daughter Carmen, six, and sons Rafael, four, Leonardo, three, and Romeo, 18 months.

Alec is also the father to 24-year-old daughter Ireland with ex-wife Kim Basinger.
