Autumn Reeser Misses Out on Morning Sickness

It’s a hallmark of pregnancy for many women, but “I’ve had no morning sickness,” lucky mom-to-be Autumn Reeser admits.

“I was surprised about that — I was expecting to make up excuses but I didn’t have to.”

Speaking with PEOPLE at the Badgley Mischka flagship opening in Beverly Hills, the No Ordinary Family star spilled the beans on baby — it’s a boy due in May! — and says that although she’s taking birthing classes with husband Jesse Warren, she’s going easy on the parenthood preparation books.

“I read a lot about it in the beginning and my brain was getting a little soft, so I’m back to reading classic literature,” she laughs. “I can’t read one more thing about breastfeeding!”

As her due date draws closer, Reeser, 30, is focused on baby, joking that her “spring must have” this year is a crib. One thing that has to wait until the big day? Baby’s name. “We have a few, but we are going to wait to meet him,” she says.

Autumn Reeser Pregnant With First Child

When Autumn Reeser said she was “carrying a little extra weight,” she wasn’t referring to Thanksgiving: the No Ordinary Family star is expecting her first baby!

“I’m pregnant,” she told Jimmy Kimmel on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night, after pointing to an as-of-now invisible baby bump.

The actress, 30, joked about her husband, writer-director Jesse Warren, finding out the news on television.

The two exchanged vows in May 2009 under a 200-year-old oak tree in Ojai, Calif.

As for her role on the ABC sci-fi series No Ordinary Family, Reeser — whose previous TV credits include The O.C. and Entourage — says she’s not sure if producers will incorporate her pregnancy into her role as Katie Andrews, a gawky, comic book-consuming lab technician.

“My character is really kind of not so great with men, but it is a superhero show, so it could be a, like, magical something that just happens,” she says. “Stranger things have happened.”
