Lea Michele showed off her blossoming baby bump in a flowing black dress as she stepped out in New York City with her mother Edith Sarfati this week.
Lea’s latest sighting comes after she revealed the difficult fertility journey she went through before falling pregnant with her second baby.
She had three miscarriages and was eventually diagnosed with endometriosis, requiring surgery and “1,000 injections,” she said.
The Broadway star made the revelation on the BDA Baby podcast hosted by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver’s daughter Katherine, who is currently pregnant with her husband, movie star Chris Pratt.
While trying to conceive her new baby, Lea “had two failed pregnancies, one after the other and very early on,” which left her “in shock” as she had “never had a miscarriage before.”
She revealed: “The first time I was like, ‘That was weird. ’ When it happened again, I was like, ‘Wait a second. Something’s wrong. ’”
At that point, she considered deciding to “walk away” from trying to have another baby, reasoning that perhaps it wasn’t the “right time.”
The Spring Awakening star eventually suffered a third miscarriage “a little bit later” while working, and found it “super difficult” to “process what we were all experiencing at the same time, which was very painful.”
She decided to “dig deeper” and discover the cause of her medical problems, so she consulted with medical professionals and was diagnosed with endometriosis.

As a result, she underwent surgery and was given “a lot of medications and drugs,” including “1,000 injections,” after which she became pregnant with her daughter.
A couple of years ago, shortly after Ever turned two, she revealed that she experienced heavy bleeding during her first pregnancy and had to go on bed rest.
“I still wasn’t sure if the pregnancy was going to last,” she said. The Drew Barrymore Show“It was horrible. It was the lowest I’ve ever been in my entire life.”
However, she noted that the ordeal brought her closer to Zandy, saying: “Having our child and experiencing the challenges we faced during pregnancy was something that unfortunately created a stronger bond in us.”
