Danielle Brooks stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday (July 24) and dished all about being pregnant for the first time.

The 29-year-old Orange Is The New Black star made the big announcement earlier this month and told Seth, “I’m going to be a mom!” as she got up and danced while holding onto her baby bump.

“My feet are swelling and I brought some shoes and they don’t fit and they hurt,” Danielle told Seth about wearing slippers to the interview. “I’m going into my third trimester tomorrow so I’m going to keep it 100.”

Also during the interview, Danielle Brooks talked about performing in Much Ado About Nothing while pregnant, telling host Seth that “we were actually the first black show to ever do Shakespeare in the Park after 60-some-odd years.”

Brooks goes on to say, “Give us a Broadway house. We need a Broadway house.”
