Emily Atack revealed fears she had surrounding her fertility years before she fell pregnant.
The Inbetweeners star, 34, has announced that she is expecting her first child with her nuclear scientist partner Dr Alistair Garner.
Emily is said to be “over the moon” about her pregnancy and is “more than ready to be a mum,” according to The Sun.
But four years before her surprise baby announcement, Emily feared she might never be able to have children.
Before her 30th birthday, the comedian embarked on a journey to find out about her own fertility during her show, Emily Atack: Adulting.

Opening up on the show, Emily said: “I have been worrying about my fertility.
“My whole life I have assumed if I met someone I could have babies straight away, but what if I can’t?
“I have got to be honest, if they come back and say something is wrong I will be absolutely devastated.”
The TV star, who was in a relationship with Rob Jowers at the time added: “I’m worrying that I’ll get to 32, still not anywhere close to having kids.”
She went on to say that she wants to be “surrounded with family” like her Grandma Betty was, who had “so many grandkids and so many kids”.
“That’s what I want”, Emily added, who is already from a large family with a sister, brother, three aunts, an uncle and Paul McCartney as a first cousin.

Ahead of her milestone birthday four years ago, Emily said she still felt like a “lost little kid” and was in the process of “soul-searching”. But it looks like the Inbetweeners star is on her way to her happy ending as she is expecting her first child.
Emily took to Instagram on Saturday, December 30 to announce the happy news. Sharing a picture of her bare bump, she wrote: “Hello Everyone, it’s been a little while but I’m back with some news. I’m delighted to share with you all that we’re having a baby!!
“I’ve never been so happy and utterly terrified at the same time. Please go easy on me. Every day is mixed with thrill, fear, joy, hysteria, topped off with a lot of vomiting – a bit like when you’ve just stepped off of the Oblivion at Alton Towers on a hangover.

“I’ve got to know my body on such an insane level. It’s made me appreciate the one I’ve been given SO much, I’m doing my absolute best to make it a home for the little squid I’m growing.”
Emily added: “We can already sense the baby is reclined on a mattress of peanut butter and jam sandwiches in there, demanding more chocolate buttons. I’m so happy to be writing all of this to you all. You’ve always stuck by me through the years, do stick around to watch me enter my mum era. Christ. Let’s go.”
