    Jenna Bush Hager felt "guilty" about her pregnancy when she started working at 'The Today Show'

    The 42-year-old TV star - who has Mila, 11, Poppy eight, and four-year-old Hal with her husband Henry Chase Hager - started working on the NBC morning show with Hodka Kotb when she was expecting her youngest and was "really worried" about the job because she knew how much her co-star wanted a baby of her own


    She told People: "I remember when I took this job, I was pregnant with Hal. And I was really worried about it. And I went to Hoda's dressing room because I knew she wanted to have another baby and I knew she was in the process and I was really hoping that she would get the call any moment.

    "And I also knew my sister wanted to be a mom so I felt, like, guilt, around the fact that I could have three babies. And I went to Hoda and I cried. At first she thought, 'Wait, you're not taking the job?

    "And I was like, 'No, no not that. But I just wanted to tell you.' And she looked at me and I said, 'You know, my mom says that everybody get your baby right on time but I feel...I can't help but feel so much worry around this'.

    Hoda eventually adopted Haley, seven, and four-year-old Hope and in describing the way things panned out, admitted it had all been a a "blessing" because she ended up adopting her youngest before Jenna had even given birth

    She said: "And then, we started the show, and one week later. We started the show on a Monday, Sunday. She FaceTimed me, I was in Times Square interviewing Cher and she said, 'I want you to meet Hope.' And she had her baby before I had mine!

    "And it was this beautiful thing about blessings really do come when...and my mom's right, you know. We get our blessings when it's time," she continues while tearing up. "So if you're so caught up in the, 'Oh my gosh, I'm 30 and I'm not even loving it.' It's like, work towards that love."
