Alyssa Farah Griffin skipped filming for 'The View' on February 10 because she went into labor.
Alyssa had skipped the February 10 episode of the talk show due to going into labor early.
"She's at the hospital right now!" Goldberg exclaimed on the Tuesday show. "And we are wishing her the best as she waits for her baby boy to arrive."
Alyssa previously revealed her due date was February 19, but doctors predicted the baby would "arrive slightly early." Her maternity leave was set to begin on February 13.
Alyssa Farah Griffin Struggled With Infertility
Alyssa Farah Griffin underwent five rounds of IVF to get pregnant.
Alyssa previously admitted she was struggling to conceive, so she and Justin turned to IVF. It wasn't until they started the process that she discovered she had endometriosis.
"I went undiagnosed my whole life until I started this process," she revealed in an interview. "So that just added to the complications."
The mom-of-one praised her husband for being 'the best partner' during the difficult IVF process.
Alyssa didn't get pregnant until their fifth IVF round.
"First and foremost, I have the best partner in the world," she gushed of how she dealt with the stress. "Like they say, marry your best friend, and Justin is mine."
"The View is hard work, and luckily I had the flexibility of the schedule to make early morning appointments in Midtown before racing to do the show," she explained. "And my husband, he was there for me throughout it all, by my side at the doctor's, right there with me."
"There were a couple of times I was an absolute monster! IVF, it was an emotional roller coaster," she noted. "My first round wasn't bad but I got over-confident and started my second right away, and let me tell you, it's unlike anything I've experienced. You do feel somewhat out of control with your own body. It's hard to balance the hormones of it all, especially when you're not getting the best news after a cycle."
