Jaime King Opens Up about Pregnancy Struggles

Jaime King is speaking up for the first time about her struggles to get pregnant.

The "Hart of Dixie" star welcomed her first child, son James Knight, in October. Now, King is sharing her private fight to become pregnant and have a healthy child of her own.

In an Instagram post on Friday, the actress revealed that she underwent five miscarriages in over more than four years of trying to get pregnant.

"[Eight] years of pain and undiagnosed PCOS [polycystic ovary syndrome] & Endometriosis. 9 doctors until Dr. Randy Harris diagnosed me & saved my life from a severe ectopic, 5 miscarriages, 5 rounds of IVF [in vitro fertilization], 26 IUI's [intrauterine insemination], most with no outcome, 4 1/2 years of trying to conceive, 26 hours of brutal labor, early delivery b/c of sudden preeclampsia, tearing and tearing after the stitches were in once I was home, milk supply issues, painful mastitis, uncontrollable crying while breast feeding, worked until the day before I [gave] birth and went back after 6 weeks after because I was afraid of letting others down," King wrote in her post, which has since been taken down.

In addition, the 35-year-old actress captioned the photo with hashtags to show support to her followers, who are going through the same struggle.

"For all the women out there who think they are alone in this #youarenotalone," the star said.

King, who has been married to filmmaker Kyle Newman since 2007, told ABC News in May that it had taken her a long time before she was blessed with a son.

The new mother said after learning that she was pregnant, she focused on her baby's well-being to "make sure that he was healthy."

"There's definitely an identity crisis you go through, but it took a long time to get pregnant, for me the baby was such a blessing that the most important thing for me was that I was active," the former model said.
