Yahoo News Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz announces pregnancy
Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz has announced that she's pregnant.
The actor, singer, and podcast host and her husband David Stanley are already parents to 2-year-old Emma, and confirmed to People that they have another baby on the way.
"I was actually on vacation in New York visiting my family at the time," Ushkowitz said of finding out.
She added that when she was packing, she decided to pack an early digital pregnancy test that she had at home "just in case".

"So I packed it and the day before we left the trip, I was like, 'Something feels very familiar about this feeling and let me just take this test.'
"I did. And when 'pregnant' came up, my jaw dropped. I was shocked. And then overjoyed, of course."
Ushkowitz added that she sadly didn't take any footage of the moment she discovered she was expecting – and that when she went to tell her husband, she didn't need words to do it.

She recalled that: "He was upstairs, and so he came down the stairs, I still had a look of shock on my face and he was like, 'No way.'
"He just knew and he was just so, so happy. We were so excited for our daughter to be a big sister and to expand our family. It's just really, really special."

She added that Emma has some understanding that she's going to be a big sister, saying: "To an extent, she knows what's going on. She'll figure it out real soon."
Ushkowitz added that she was feeling more relaxed about her pregnancy this time around, having learned that "you really have to go with the flow" the first time around.
"Newborn snuggles are the best, but I'm really just looking forward to seeing my daughter become a big sister and just feeling like our family is whole," she concluded.
Glee can be streamed in full on Disney+.
