Amy revealed soon after she welcomed Gene that doctors were surprised she was able to even carry her baby in the first place, since she suffers from endometriosis.

The Life and Beth actress explained that: "I was throwing up through the first hour of my c-section. It's supposed to take about an hour and a half, mine took over three hours because of my endometriosis, and that was really scary."
