Tia Mowry has spoken candidly about the struggles she faced while trying to conceive her second child.
The Sister Sister star has admitted that she delayed trying for a little one, even though it's something she really wanted, as a result of having endometriosis.
'I didn't think I'd be able to have a second child, and it's been over seven years since my first pregnancy. I put it off, but I did want to have another child,' said Tia.

Tia - who recently announced that she and husband Cory Hardrict are expecting a baby girl in an adorable gender reveal video - went on to say that she's adoring being a mum-to-be.
