She told People magazine:
"I have no complaints. I mean, tired feet and all the stuff you hear about, but nobody needs to hear about that."
The mother-to-be announced her pregnancy in early June, the day before People confirmed her engagement to her Client List costar Brian Hallisay, 34.
The 34-year-old-actress revealed to the magazine that her relationship with her own mother is what inspires her.
