Singer-actor Mandy Moore, who is mother to three, is sad to close the door on her pregnancy journey.
The “This Is Us” actor, who shares three children—sons Gus Harrison, 4, and Ozzie Bennett, 3, and daughter Louise Everett, 16 months—with husband Taylor Goldsmith, took to Instagram to share her feelings.
"I'm at the OBGYN getting a check up," Moore wrote. "I am endlessly grateful for my beautiful family AND there's a certain sadness knowing I'm done having babies and won't be pregnant again."
Mandy also asked her followers if other mothers felt the same way.
The 41-year-old has previously spoken candidly about the joy and challenges of motherhood.
In May, Moore marked her first Mother's Day as a mother of three, calling the experience deeply fulfilling. "Being a mom is the single greatest gift of my life," she wrote, adding that despite constant worry and planning, the joy of motherhood outweighs everything else.

Moore also expressed gratitude to the mothers in her life, "model what it takes, lend an ear, make the best suggestions, and generally make me feel less alone on the journey."
Reflecting on welcoming her third child at 40, Moore earlier addressed the term "geriatric pregnancy" during an appearance on Kylie Kelce's “Not Gonna Lie” podcast in June. She said many women today are having children later in life, whether by choice or circumstance.
"The thing that I had the most trouble with is just this system in general kind of treating us as this anomaly that we're too old," Mandy continued, "and we're too complicated or high risk, and really, it's like, 'Nope, we're just human beings'."
