“There is something in the oven and it’s not my pizza!!! Wow… It’s kind of surreal processing the fact that another human is growing inside of you.”

Actress and YouTuber Shay Mitchell revealed on social media Friday that she is six months pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Matte Babel — and her “pregnancy journey” will be documented in an original series on YouTube.

The biweekly YouTube original series “Almost Ready” will premiere every other Wednesday starting July 17 on Mitchell’s YouTube channel and will be free to view (it’s not part of YouTube Premium). The show will follow her as she eats for two, continues the endless hunt for non-alcoholic wine and lathers herself in every oil known to humanity on her journey to motherhood.

Mitchell, 32, previously starred in Freeform’s “Pretty Little Liars” and appeared in Netflix series “You.” She’s also joined the cast of upcoming Hulu comedy series “Dollface” with Kat Dennings and Brenda Song.

Her pregnancy announcement comes after she shared with followers in January that she had experienced a miscarriage last year.
