Hilaria's first miscarriage was at ten weeks, and the second was at four weeks. She added,

"I kept waking up and thinking it must have all been a very vivid bad dream. I cried so much that my eyes were nearly swollen shut."

The second miscarriage was unexpected, as the baby had a strong heartbeat at her last scan. With the first, the fetus's heartbeat was not healthy, and it remained weak until it stopped beating.
