The actress is one of several women in primetime to become pregnant during the 2008-2009 television season.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com "Ugly Betty's" Ana Ortiz , "Brothers and Sisters" star Rachel Griffiths , "Gossip Girls" Kelly Rutherford ," and "How I Met Your Mother's" Cobie Smulders are all pregnant.
Chyler told Access earlier this year that her pregnancy is being hidden by medical props.

"I've hit the six month mark and I'm totally showing now," Chyler said. "So you'll begin to see me carrying various medical items (charts, notepads, etc.) more often. The oversized scrub top under my normal jacket isn't completely cutting it. I keep wondering when the transition from carrying charts to pushing wheelchairs to pushing gurneys to close up face shots in the OR will happen. I guess the positive is, I'll have really buff arms from all the carrying and pushing of random medical equipment."
