Pieterse announced her pregnancy back in May on the couple's two-year wedding anniversary, writing on Instagram at the time: "We will be welcoming a precious little human this October!

The pair tied the knot at a castle in Ireland in May 2018 after becoming engaged in December 2015.

"Motherhood is officially my favorite role ever!" she continued in her announcement before thanking Sheaffer "for making me a mom and for always being my unwavering rock and safe place."

In July, Pieterse opened up to PEOPLE about being "concerned" about conceiving a child while suffering from a hormone condition called polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS. She called her pregnancy "an absolute blessing."

"Just the fact that we were able to get pregnant was such a blessing because with PCOS that made me nervous," she said at the time. "A lot of women have infertility issues and so we were expecting more difficulty, so it's been an absolute blessing that we were able to just get pregnant by ourselves."

The pregnancy even helped Pieterse's PCOS, she said: "My hormones have been balancing out, so it's actually been a good thing [in that regard]. And I'm hoping that this will maybe even help in the future too."

"I've heard some really amazing stories about how pregnancy can actually help with symptoms of PCOS afterward, which would be amazing, but we're taking it one step at a time and just thankful that we're both healthy," she added.
