A Pregnant Tina Fey Spills on Motherly Anxieties in New Book

Learning how to balance the load between Hollywood and motherhood is undoubtedly stressful, so much so that even Tinseltown's resident funny girl, Tina Fey, needed help figuring it all out.

The 40-year-old Emmy winner revealed her anxiety surrounding the thought of a second child in new memoir "Bossypants," writing,"I went for my annual checkup and, tired of carrying this anxiety around, burst into tears the moment she said hello. I laid it all out for her, and the main thing I took away from our conversation was the kind of simple observation that only an impartial third party can provide: 'Either way, everything will be fine.' "
Offering up some exciting news, "30 Rock" star revealed her big decision on yesterday's (April 6) taping of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" - she is expecting her second child and is five months along!

This will be the second child for Fey and her husband, composer Jeff Richmond, who already have a 5-year-old daughter, Alice.

In her book, Tina recounts her struggle between work and family, but finally concludes that her loved ones are really what matters. "What's so great about work anyway? Work won't visit you when you're old. Work won't drive you to get a mammogram and take you out after for soup," she said, adding, "Hollywood be damned. I'll just be unemployable and labeled crazy in five years anyway."

The comedienne also keeps her daughter in mind when wrestling with the idea of more children. "I thought that raising an only child would be the norm in Manhattan, but my daughter is the only child in her class without a sibling," she writes. "Most kids have at least two."

"Who will be my daughter's family when my husband and I are dead from stress-induced cankers?" she cracks. "She must have a sibling."

Fey's appearance on Oprah Winfrey is set to air April 12th. Meanwhile her new book, "Bossypants", hits stores on Tuesday.
