In April 2019, Dreyer talked about her struggles on theTodayshow and, that July, announced the happy news that she was expecting again.
After undergoing surgery “to clear out all the scarring from my previous [cesarean] section,” — which she believes “made a huge difference” in being able to have a successful pregnancy,Dreyer told PEOPLE at the time— she got a huge surprise, right when she and Fichera, 34, were ready to turn to in vitro fertilization.
“I was just waiting for the phone call from Dr. Reichman, to tell me how much of each drug to use,” Dreyer recalled of herplanned ovarian-stimulation cycle. “Instead, when he called, he said, ‘Well, you can’t start IVF because you’re already pregnant!’ We were in complete shock. We couldn’t believe it!”
“By putting my story out there, I feel like the thousands of prayers and good wishes we received really made a difference,” she added in her conversation with PEOPLE. “I knew it was in God’s hands, and thisis certainly an answered prayer.”
Aside from herTodayshow co-hosting gig, her pregnancy news and being a mom to two boys, it’s been a busy year for Dreyer thus far.
