Never letting go...

The post was flooded with congratulatory comments from friends and followers of Mitchell.

The actress didn't reveal she was expecting until about six months into her pregnancy because she suffered a miscarriage in 2018.

While keeping her pregnancy a secret, she said she experienced "severe depression" in an interview with maternity lifestyle brand Hatch.

"I think it's really interesting that pre-partum depression or feelings of isolation in pregnancy are not more vastly discussed. Feeling that I was alone in my depression compounded my state of mind, but [I] have found since sharing the news publicly that many women feel as I did," she said.

"Pregnancy can be a hard time, especially if you're having to hide it," she added. "After I came out publicly, I felt an enormous wave of relief and was finally able to start enjoying the pregnancy."

After announcing she was expecting, the actress was pretty transparent with fans.

She shared videos on everything from learning about cesarean sections to her gender reveal to the wrong ways to build a stroller.
