A few years after giving birth to her daughter, Christina Anstead decided it was time to have another baby. However, when it came to expanding her family, it didn't come easily. After a year without seeing any little pink lines, Anstead turned to in vitro fertilization. "I definitely felt very hormonal and isolated during my IVF attempts," she revealed on her Instagram (via Pop Culture). On top of all that, her husband at the time, Tarek El Moussa, broke his back, and that only added to all the stress. "[His recovery] was two months of sheer torture," she told People.
Luckily, Anstead was able to excitedly announce her second pregnancy in 2015. Even still, that wasn't easy either, as she found herself on bedrest and "couldn't lift anything over a gallon of milk," she shared. With her toddler running around, it was rough. Yet, she was set on becoming a mom of two. "We did everything we could to make sure this one worked," Anstead said, and, luckily, it did work out in the end.
