Due with her third child August 9th, Rebecca Herbst is still getting advice from her own mother when it comes to her pregnancies.
“[She tells me to] stay off my feet … like that’s ever going to happen with two kids!” the General Hospital star, 33, tells Soap Opera Digest. “And to moisturize my stomach every day. Now that I do!”
However, other than her daily lotion ritual, Herbst — already mom to Ethan Riley, 8½, and Ella Bailey, 6 — says the greatest part of her pregnancies is the ability to just be herself.
“I love not caring about what I look like,” she admits, adding it’s also “a pretty awesome feeling knowing you’re growing a human being inside of you.”
With Herbst and her husband Michael Saucedo having recently found out they will be welcoming a second son, the actress jokes the family was ecstatic — minus Ella.
“The kids went with us when I had the ultrasound done, so we were all told at the same time!” she shares. “Ethan’s thrilled, Ella will be … eventually.”
