Mandy Moore was once told that she had a small chance of becoming pregnant.
The actress – who has a son Gus, two, and Ozzie, one, with her singer husband Taylor Goldsmith – revealed in an Instagram post that a doctor cast a negative light on her, possibly because she was a mother.
The This is Us alum, 39, posted a photo of herself as a child with her cats by her side as she shared her story.
Mandy – who looked radiant in a red glittery dress at the Critics Choice Awards – began: ‘I’ve always wanted to be a mother. Before I brought my two boys into the world with my love, @taylordawesgoldsmith, I was a mom to many cats and sometimes just as many dogs (and I still am today),” her caption began.
Then she said: ‘But there was a time when I thought I might not be able to have children. I remember the doctor telling me there was a slim chance of getting pregnant… and then, to our surprise, I got pregnant with Gus.”

She then talked about how much she enjoyed being a mother.
“Motherhood is a beautiful, messy, sleepless gift and to have two children under the age of two…phew!!!,” she said.
And she revealed her role on This Is Us helped her prepare for motherhood.
“Playing Rebecca on #ThisIsUs actually kind of prepared me for it, like changing a diaper for the first time and running around with ‘triplets,'” she said.
She went on to say that she realizes she won’t always “get it right.”
“Rebecca Pearson said it best: ‘My job is to stand there with my arms wide open, waiting for you to maybe drop in someday when you need me to,’” she wrote.
“And if you do, I will love you. And if you don’t, I will love you too – because that’s what it means to be a parent.
“You’ll see one day,” she added.
‘And then I say: Rebecca, I see it! #ThisIsUs and #ThatWasUs @thatwasus.”
Previously, the A Walk to Remember star opened up about the medical issues she had with her uterus, which led her doctor to tell her she might never be able to get pregnant.
So she had surgery to try to fix the problems, which may have been endometriosis.

“Because of this problem with my uterus, I was very hesitant to believe it and put any value on it,” she said in a 2021 interview with Romper. “I kind of held my breath until 12 weeks.”
And with the birth of Ozzie, she became aware of the challenges of motherhood with two children under the age of two. E! News. And she also does not rule out having a third child.
“I honestly don’t know if you can do it all, but as a mother, as a working mother, I do the best I can,” she noted.
“And I’m just trying to kind of have grace with myself and recognize that every day is going to throw another obstacle in my path and just find a way through it.” Keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
