Tia Mowry-Hardrict [1] is currently pregnant [2] with her second child [3] and couldn't be more elated, but she's taking the time to reflect on the struggles she had with infertility. The 39-year-old and her husband, Cory Hardrict, are already parents to their 6-year-old son, Cree, but having another child wasn't easy.

"I didn't think I'd be able to have a second child [4], and it's been over seven years since my first pregnancy. I put it off, but I did want to have another child," she told People. "I didn't let my infertility issues define me or define what my goals were and what I wanted out of life. We did try for a long time. It was hard. But I didn't give up."

The Sister, Sister [5] star has been open about having endometriosis [6] and how it's made it harder for her to conceive [7], which is why this baby is so special to her. "That said, I just feel so much joy with [this pregnancy]. Also, who knows if I'll ever be able to get pregnant again? So I am embracing and enjoying every moment," she said. "I just wanted to really embrace every moment and also keep moving. My first pregnancy, I was afraid to do anything, and I feel better [now] because I'm moving, dancing." Tia and her family are having a blast this second time around, and we couldn't be happier for them.
