This is not the first time that the actress has opened up about her pregnancy. During a recent interview with Romper, Moore explained that before she got pregnant, she had seen a fertility specialist who told her she might have endometriosis.
She explained, "I was fully prepared to go have surgery and fix my uterus and hopefully get rid of the endometriosis, if it was there. It was nice to have a plan and to know, OK, well, this is why I haven’t been pregnant yet."
However, before the surgery, Moore got pregnant.
The article explains, "Right before Moore was set to have the surgery, she had an appointment with the fertility specialist, who casually mentioned that Moore was ovulating but that there was a very slim chance of her getting pregnant because of the issues with her uterus. 'So I was like, all right, whatever,' she says. 'And lo and behold…'"
She added, "I guess I understand why doctors tell you, like, 'Oh, just try for a year, and then if nothing happens, you can start sort of investigating.' But I was like, man, I wish I had known before. It would have been a game changer had I had that information."
