Posting pictures from the occasion, she wrote: “So grateful to my family and pod for making my pregnancy feel so celebrated during such wild times.”
Emma also graced the cover of Cosmopolitan’s December issue, where she spoke about pregnancy and motherhood.

“To see my body change inside and out so drastically has been a wild experience. Surprising and beautiful,” she said in the interview. “Then again, some days I feel like I’m being hijacked by something.”
She later added: “Ever since I was little, I wanted to have a baby, in theory. When I was a kid, I begged my mom to have another baby. The day she brought my sister home from the hospital, I remember holding her, wanting to dress and play with her.”
In the interview, Emma also opened up about freezing her eggs after she learned that she’d been living with undiagnosed endometriosis that had affected her fertility.

After years of “debilitating cramps and periods”, Emma switched to a female doctor who then referred her to a specialist. She explained: “Finally, there was validation that I wasn’t being dramatic. But by then, it had affected my fertility. I was told, ‘You should probably freeze your eggs or look into other options.'”
“When I found out about my fertility, I was kind of stunned,” she went on. “It felt so permanent, and oddly, I felt like I had done something wrong. But I started opening up to other women, and all of a sudden, there was a new world of conversation about endometriosis, infertility, miscarriages, fear of having kids. I was so grateful to find out I was not alone in this. I hadn’t done anything ‘wrong’ after all.”
News of Emma’s pregnancy was surrounded by a little ~drama~ over the summer though, after the actor revealed that her mom accidentally announced the news on Instagram before she and Garrett had confirmed it.

Telling the story to Jimmy Kimmel back in October, Emma explained that she’d recently bought her mom a new iPhone, which she then used to look up stories about Emma on the internet. However, she confused one particular story about pregnancy rumours as confirmation from Emma herself and thanked fans for their well-wishes, which led to Emma blocking her mom on Instagram!
“It was a disaster,” Emma said. “I found it all out on a plane, so I couldn’t get to her. Like I couldn’t call her or attack her. I could just iMessage with her and DM her and ask her to please stop.”
Emma and Garrett have yet to publicly confirm the news of their baby’s arrival, so let’s hope her mom has learned her lesson from last time!
BuzzFeed News has reached out to reps of Emma for comment.
