In reaction to Baldwin’s revelation, NBC's Kate Snow revealed Friday on the “Today” show that she miscarried twice.

About 10-25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the American Pregnancy Association. A miscarriage is when the pregnancy ends within the first 20 weeks.

But recently there is good news for Johnson and her husband, Andrew East, as they are expecting a baby.
