Lea Michele, 37, reveals how her second pregnancy has been 'incredibly different' from her first

After having a pandemic baby, Lea Michele is enjoying the full pregnancy experience the second time around.

The Golden Globe nominee, 37, explained how her current pregnancy has been an 'incredibly different experience' than when she welcomed her son Ever Leo, 3.  

'We were in California, and we were in a pandemic,' she told People.

'So it was a lot of just hanging out at home and very minimal activity,' added Michele. 'And now, it's New York, it's the busy streets. I'm working, I'm a mom, and it's very different.'

She also noted that 'none of my friends saw me pregnant, ever' when she and husband Zandy Reich were preparing to welcome their first baby.

'You know, my best friend, Jonathan [Groff], never saw me pregnant,' she continued. 

'He wasn't with me, and my dad was in New York, he was on the East Coast [during] the pandemic.'

Michele added, 'So to be able to have this experience and share this time with my friends and family has been really wonderful, and not something that I got to do before.' 

The Glee alum opened up about her pregnancy experience while filling tote bags with Tylenol and other essentials for fellow expecting parents.

'Had so much fun with my partner @Tylenol packing baskets to help parents prepare for when their little ones get sick,' Michele wrote on her Instagram Story.

She wrapped her baby bump in a skintight red tank top dress by Michael Kors for the event. 'Michael always gets it right,' she captioned photos in the look.

'Mommy, Daddy and Ever are overjoyed,' wrote Michele in the caption.
