The Broadway actress later disclosed the gender of her second child on Mother's Day, posting a picture of herself holding her growing child on Instagram in observance of the occasion.

"The most beautiful Mother’s Day today, holding my son who made me a mama…and carrying my daughter. 💕💐," she remarked at the time, per People.

Lea Michele opened up about her 'back-to-back' miscarriages before becoming pregnant with her second child

During a July 'BDA Baby' podcast interview with Katherine Schwarzenegger, Michele revealed that she had "two back-to-back very early failed pregnancies" while attempting to conceive baby number 2.

She said, "I had never had a miscarriage before. The first one, I was like, ‘That was weird.’ When it happened again right away, I was like, ‘Wait a second. Something is wrong.’"

The 'Glee' alum then disclosed that the couple, who got married in 2019, had to "step away" from trying for a second child while she worked on the Broadway production of 'Funny Girl' in 2022.

"It wasn’t until a little bit later [that] I had another [pregnancy loss]. I was actually working at the time. It was super challenging to be working and having to...process what we were experiencing at the same time, which was very painful," Michele added.

Michele continued, saying that she had "painful periods" and "ton of stomach issues" and that she had initially shrugged it off as "stress from working" until being diagnosed with endometriosis, per HuffPost.

To eventually become pregnant again, she said that her New York medical team had given her "so many drugs and medications and one thousand shots."

The 'Scream Queens' actress previously addressed another challenge she had with becoming pregnant: polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, a hormonal disorder that affects women who are ready to conceive.
