Of course, it wasn’t the first she was hearing the pregnancy news. “Jenna, first of all, you’re amazing.

Bush Hager, 37, went on to share that after she first found out she was pregnant, she initially felt guilty.
“I said, ‘Barbara’ — who just got married — ‘and Hoda, they want these babies, and I have this guilt.’ And my momsaid, ‘Everybody gets their babies when they’re supposed to,’ ” Bush Hager remarked. “My mom and her mom before herstruggled with infertility forever, and so I thought that was a beautiful thing to say.”

Bush Hager’s big news came the same day her fellowTodaystarDylan Dreyerrevealed that she and husbandBrian Ficheraare experiencingsecondary infertility and had a miscarriageover the winter season.
“When we came in, I saw Dylan’s post and my heart sank for her because I think we all, at some point, have struggled with something,” Bush Hager told Dreyer andMeredith Vieira— the latter of whom was filling in for Kotb, 54 — during Monday’s episode ofToday.
“Even if you knew I was doing this story today, I would never ever want to have that be the reason why you didn’t announce this today. This is so amazing! Mysadness does not take away from your joy,” Dreyer, 37, told Bush Hager.

“And I’m not even that sad right now,” continued Dreyer, who is mom to 2-year-old sonCalvin Bradley. “I’m just in a crappy situation, to be honest with you, and I’m hoping it all works out.”
“We weren’t really trying to get pregnant. We had some fertility issues with Poppy. So we just — it was a date night,” she shared, adding with a laugh, “Sorry, Mom!”
