Hilaria Baldwin is sharing a frightening experience she and son Eduardo "Edu" Pau Lucas went through on Wednesday.

Baldwin, 38, opened up about her son's health scare in a lengthy post on Instagram, beginning a caption of a photo of herself and Edu, "Never a dull moment for us…"

"Edu had a very bad allergic reaction today and I had to give him an epi pen. I've never had to administer it on my own…it was a scary experience," she recalled.

Noting that her son "is ok now and home," she told her followers she wanted to let them know that an EpiPen "is a lifesaving tool" that can be incredibly useful for sudden allergic reactions.

"He was in such distress and I believe it may have saved him today," she explained. "If your doctor thinks you should keep one at home, make sure you know how to use it in advance, because these reactions can come on so strongly and quickly."

"I, on the other hand, was a spent wreck 🥴," she concluded. "Love you all and be safe."

Hilaria shares Edu with her husband, Alec Baldwin. The couple shares two daughters, María Lucía Victoria and Carmen Gabriela, and three other sons Rafael Thomas, Leonardo Ángel Charles, and Romeo Alejandro David. Alec is also dad to daughter Ireland Baldwin, 26, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

Last month, Hilaria, who is pregnant with her seventh child, revealed that she and her husband are expecting a daughter, sharing the exciting news on Instagram.

In a video featuring the whole family, Alec, Hilaria, and their six children were each seen throughout the clip giving advice to their baby sister on the way.

"It's always been both fun and meaningful for me to find out what is the sex of my baby, yet, as I grow and learn, I want to do it a bit differently this time around," Hilaria explained in the caption. "What will make our baby a loving, whole person? What matters? What will make them feel seen, free, and proud?"

She continued, "Perhaps nothing that we can define. We can only guide, encourage their spirit, listen, share our experiences, and learn from them, as we watch their own journey. We can provide as good a life as we can, but the rest is up to our baby to discover their own, unique self."

"I share with you our family's hopes and wishes, encouragement and advice for our new baby. I feel so much joy, watching these children, who are filled with love and the most simple, kind wisdom," Hilaria concluded. "Hearing them share their words is one of my greatest gifts in life.Join us in honoring this whole little independent human, growing inside of me."
