“So, I’m feeling really good, but I feel a little guilty about it, I guess,” Glazer said, then comparing her pregnancy to that of otherexpectant motherswho get sick while carrying a child. “I was sick for a bunch of months, and then after that, I was like, ‘This is the coolest thing ever.'”

“This was not supposed to happen this way, but it’s just so eerie and cosmically funny that it has,” Glazer recently toldEWabout being pregnant for the movie’s Hulu release on June 25. “I’m lucky; I’m in control, unlike our protagonist. I don’t feel like I’m having the rug pulled out from under me in any way.”
“I’m not afraid to ask a billion questions,” she added of taking advice from friends and family who are already parents. “There are certain trends in society of how pregnancy should look — the ‘shoulda coulda wouldas’ that are put on women all the time but are so amplified in pregnancy. I’m specifically seeking out the most spiritually healthy and welcoming experience.”
During her late-night guest appearance, Glazer also chatted with Fallon about what she envisions her future child will be like once they’ve grown up.
“I mean, I really loved to perform as a kid,” Glazer said. “You know, me and my brother would make all these comedy videos.”
Fallon then held up a picture of Glazer from her childhood years, dressed in a bedazzled pink and blue dress, which the actress described as “1990s Long Island dance competition realness.”
“We’re talking Suffolk County, we’re talking paying to get into the competition,” Glazer playfully teased. “What kind of scam is that?”
