Back in March, Oxenberg spoke to PEOPLE about how she initially discovered she was expecting.

When her mother, Catherine Oxenberg, got married in October, the former Dynasty actress had an important message for her daughter. "Literally at her wedding, she was like, 'Alright, so have a baby!'" she told PEOPLE.

India and her husband of just over three years had talked about starting a family but "we were waiting for both of us to feel settled," said India, who launched her podcast Still Learning last year.

The two recently bought a home in Key West, where D'Ignazio, a chef, opened his restaurant Eaton Good. Finally, "We were like, 'Okay, I think we're ready now."

Not long after her mom's nudge, India began feeling nauseous and missed her period. The day after Thanksgiving, she decided to take a pregnancy test.

"And I ended up taking three tests, back-to-back, and they all came out positive," India recalled. "I couldn't believe it."

"I felt really emotional about it, and really blessed, and just like, 'Wow, this really is something that I've always wanted, that I in a way told myself I didn't want for so long,' " said India, whose memoir, Still Learning, was released in 2021. "Because it was so vulnerable to think about having my own family, and what that means to me."
