"I'm really devastated right now...I was not expecting this when I went to my scan today," Hilaria said about the loss of her baby.
UPDATE at 8:00 am on 11/13/19:
Hilaria shared on Instagram Tuesday that she had undergone a dilation and curettage (D&C) surgery following her miscarriage.
"Eyes swollen from crying, groggy from anesthesia, crampy from the surgery...but I made it and I want you to know that I'm physically ok," she captioned a selfie. "I'm grateful for my family, friends, doctors and nurses, and all of you who have held my hand through this difficult time. You have no idea how much this means to me.
She added, "One foot in front of the other...now I begin the healing journey."
A D&C is a surgical procedure usually performed on a woman who has suffered a first-trimester miscarriage. Once doctors confirm the woman's fetus has no heartbeat, they remove it from her uterus.

Hilaria and Alec shared their unique gender reveal last month and announced they were expecting a baby girl. In addition to Carmen Gabriela, 6, the couple, who have been married since 2012, also share Romeo Alejandro David, 16 months, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 3, and Rafael Thomas, 4.
The pair's sad news this week came less than two months after they revealed Hilaria was pregnant with their fifth child in September.
Sharing a video of a sonogram, Hilaria made the exciting announcement on Instagram.
"It is still very early...but we have learned that there is a little person inside of me," she began in the caption. "The sound of this strong heart makes me so happy -- especially because of the loss we experienced in the spring. We want to share this news as we are excited and don't want to hide the pregnancy."
"These first few months are tough with exhaustion and nausea...and I don't want to have to pretend that I feel OK," she continued. "My one request is that the media not send paparazzi to follow me or buy independent paparazzi photos, hence encouraging them."
Hilaria concluded, "I want to remain peaceful during this very early time in my pregnancy and getting chased around by cameras is not in the doctor's orders."
Their happy announcement at the time came just a few months after Hilaria opened up about her previous miscarriage back in April.
