Anna Belknap's Pregnancy Nerves

Anna Belknap knew that CSI: New York has a “a very family-oriented crew,” but she was still nervous to tell her bosses she was pregnant with baby number two!

While the powers-that-be “never gave any indication that it wouldn’t be okay, but I was kind of nervous to tell them because you never know what their response is gonna be.”

But she needn’t have worried. Everyone was so supportive, they wrote the pregnancy into the show! It’s a real change from the last time where Anna struggled to hide her growing baby bump!

“I would get a little vain about how huge I was and they weren’t telling everyone that I was pregnant. I had vanity issues. It’s hard to be on your feet all the time so the director would block me sitting down.”

Anna says pregnancy this time around has been pretty easy, especially since the show was in hiatus during her first trimester. But she does suffer from a severe case of pregnancy brain!

“Your brain doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to anymore when you’re pregnant, so I have to spend more time learning my lines,” she admitted.

If that’s all she’s got to worry about, I think she’s doing well!
