I felt very fertile, very womanly. And then, quite late in the pregnancy, my husband Brad and I discovered that this little fetus was not going to live.“Not only was the situation “emotionally devasting,” recalled Louis-Dreyfus, but it became a “complete nightmare” after she developed an infection that caused her to be hospitalized and unable to go home until “a couple of days later.““I finally got out of the hospital, and I came home to recuperate, but I wasn’t allowed to get out of bed yet. I was, as they say, bedridden,” she detailed.According to the11-time Emmy winner, the recovery process got easier when her mom came to stay with her and her husband.“She made this incredible cozy chili in a cast iron skillet with cornbread on top in the pan. She and my husband Brad set up a little card table at the foot of the bed. And the smell of that cornbread and the chili was so wonderful,” recalled Louis-Dreyfus.While she adds that she was not allowed to eat solid foods and therefore was not able to eat the meal, she shares that the experience was one of her “greatest memories.“She continued: “It didn’t matter.
