Dreyer was unaware of it at the time, but she was already pregnant when shewent public with her strugglesin April.
“[Al Roker] did figure it out beforehand,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s funny because he was the first to knowwhen I was pregnant with Calvin, too. He said to me, ‘I just have an inkling.’ ”
Dreyerpreviously told PEOPLEin May that she was nervous to go public with her difficulties in conceiving for a second time as she feared criticism.
“Going into it, I thought I was going to get a little bit of negative pushback — kind of like, ‘Well, you already have a son, so be happy for what you have,’ ” she said. “So I went into it with those expectations to get a little bit of blowback.”
After sharing her story, though, Dreyer said she was grateful she did, as ithelped to “open up a conversation”among women experiencing similar struggles.
