Elisabeth Moss reveals she's pregnant with her first child: 'I've been really lucky'

Elisabeth Moss' family is growing.

The Handmaid's Tale and Mad Men star revealed that she's pregnant with her first child during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday. "Are you pregnant or just an incredibly committed method actor?" host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly asked.

"Little bit of both," Moss responded, adding, "I've been really lucky. It's going really well."

Moss, 41, asked Kimmel, a father of four, for hospital tips. "I wanted to ask you if you had any advice," she said. "Things to buy, bring to the delivery room, anything?"

Kimmel shared advice that his wife received from Bill Murray years ago: "He said, 'Bring Christmas lights to hang or beads of some kind, a nightlight.' He said, 'Bring music,' which everybody tells you, you'll wanna bring some music. He said, 'Bring candles' — which, we did bring candles, and they were like, 'You can't light candles in here, there's oxygen in this room.' So bring a battery-powered candle if you want a candle."

Kimmel then revealed why Murray's advice is sound. "He's right because the lighting is terrible in the room," he said. "It's like, it's Wal-Mart-style lighting for this blessed event that's gonna happen, and you don't want that, right?"

When Moss later said that the sixth and final season of The Handmaid's Tale would begin shooting this summer, Kimmel quipped, "Have you started blaming [the delay] on child?"

"I can't wait to start doing that!" Moss replied.

When Kimmel insisted that she could start doing that right away, Moss said, "Can I? Oh, it's the best. I love that." She then whispered thanks toward her abdomen.

Moss is also starring in the thriller series The Veil, which is set to premiere on Hulu in April. The series prompted the actress to visit the hospital for reasons completely unrelated to her pregnancy.

"We trained for weeks and weeks and weeks," she said of a climactic fight sequence. "And apparently it may not have actually been quite enough, because the first take… I went and did the wrong thing, it wasn't anyone's fault, and I went up against a wall and actually broke my back. I fractured a vertebrae." Moss said she continued filming the series the day after the accident.
