Rachel Bilson got candid on experiencing multiple pregnancy losses before welcoming her and ex Hayden Christensen's daughter Briar Rose in 2014.
"It's quite possibly of the greatest thing I discuss with pregnancy and having children," Bilson said on the Oct. 23 episode of her "Expansive Thoughts webcast." "I've had unsuccessful labors, so I've had misfortunes."
The 42-year-old noted that the pregnancy losses occurred before the babies were full-term, adding, "Never carried. They were early on."
The experience affected her mindset when she later gave birth to Briar Rose, with the "Heart of Dixie" actress saying she felt it was vital to "roll with the punches" since she knew loss could occur.
"With birth, I even remember going into it saying, 'I'm open to whatever,'" Bilson confessed, before recounting how she "always knew I was going to go to a hospital" over a home birth.
The webcast have additionally considered "surrendering control" because of different variables of vulnerability in the work cycle.
"What plans can you make," Rachel pondered, "when it's really not up to you?"
