Gillian Anderson hopes to enjoy pregnancy this time around

Gillian Anderson has revealed that she’s planning to enjoy her current pregnancy a whole lot more than she did when she was pregnant with daughter Piper, during The X-Files heyday.

In a message on her website, she confirmed that she was three months pregnant by boyfriend Mark Griffiths and added: “The first time around, I was oblivious to the miracle and stages and the joy. I cannot remember Piper kicking.”

“Was it the hours, the special effects smoke, the dummies with maggots eating their eyes out?”

“This year has not been about work at all but about change and growth and ultimately slowing down.”

“Taking stock of what is important to me, what I actually want my life to look like.”
