The formerTotal Request Livehost was quick to respond, telling the fan that his post “had nothing to do with being ‘easy’ ” pregnancies. “More that I left for a few days & 2 colleagues announced pregnancies. Dylan’s article is amazing and I love her to death!” Daly added.
Weather correspondent Dreyer revealed in an article that shehad suffered a miscarriageover the winter while pregnant with her and husbandBrian Fichera’s second child, followinga struggle with trying to conceivefor six months before being referred to a specialist.
The mother of one revealed that she got pregnant with her sonCalvin Bradley, now 2, after the couple tried to conceive only one or two times. But with her second attempt, she was dealing with irregular menstrual cycles, and when she went to get things checked out, a blood test showed she had a low egg count — one similar to what doctors would expect from someone around age 45 as opposed to her age, 37.
She revealed that “a part of mefeels a little mad at my bodyfor not being able to do this naturally,” but she’s thankful for “amazing doctors” and her “great support system”: “God has a plan,” Dreyer said. “And I pray every night, ‘Just let me stay out of your way — you do what is best for us, and we’ll figure that out.’ ”
On Monday’s episode, Bush Hager sat down with Dreyer for a candid conversation andsupported her colleagueon-air.
“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, 37, told Dreyer andMeredith Vieira, the latter of whom was filling in for Kotb while she’s on maternity leave.
“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! My sadness does not take away from your joy,” Dreyer said, adding, “And I’m not even that sad right now. I’m just in a crappy situation, to be honest with you, and I’m hoping it all works out.”
