Calling out a commenter whose persistence about a perceived health issue led the 27-year-old mom-to-be to have a health anxiety episode, Baldwin explained she would be stepping back from sharing so much of her pregnancy online. "Women, moms, 'nurses,' like this are the people who ruin sharing your pregnancy on social media or at all," she began a series of Instagram Story posts on Saturday. "I hate people who go out of their way to instill fear in others. I hate unlicensed and unqualified people who diagnose people of bull---- over the internet."

"I don't care if you think this is someone who is trying to be helpful … it isn't," she continued. "My hands aren't swollen. My body is… pregnant. My cheeks and my face have been puffy my whole life." She continued, "My blood pressure is normal. My blood work is normal. I'm fine. But this brings up something I'd like to mention…" "So naturally in a panic, I run to go check my blood pressure because as someone who struggles with health anxiety, of course I listen to a random on Instagram who scared me… and here we are." Ireland Baldwin. Ireland Baldwin/Instagram Baldwin, who is expecting her first baby with boyfriend RAC (born André Allen Anjos), went on to share that she's "decided to keep the remainder of my pregnancy as private as possible as well as my daughter/her life and all of the things." "I shared tidbits here and there because I enjoyed connecting with people, feeling less alone at times, etc… but social media makes me miserable. You can only block so many frightening/ judgemental/ deranged low lives in a day," she continued. "I completely respect and understand why people don't share their kids now or their relationships or anything for that matter. Instagram, TikTok, it's all a toxic pit of nothingness."
