Timpf said 15 hours before she gave birth to her first child with her husband, Cameron Friscia, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNow, before you worry, my doctor says it\u2019s Stage 0 and is confident that it almost certainly hasn\u2019t spread,\u201d she wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr, as I\u2019ve explained to the few people I\u2019ve managed to tell about it so far: don\u2019t freak out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just, like, a little bit of cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she was more than a week past due when she gave birth and recalled the chaotic day as \u201cnot chill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the comedian\u2019s typical fashion, Timpf included jokes about her hectic day in the news of her health scare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timpf revealed she went into labor in the middle of the night before rushing to the hospital to meet her baby boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also said doctors recommended she get a double mastectomy as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese next three months of maternity leave are going to look a lot different than I\u2019d anticipated, and I\u2019m still getting used to my new reality,\u201d the Gutfeld! co-host wrote.
Fox News personality Kat Timpf announces she\u2019s pregnant with husband 10 years after tragic event & reveals biggest shock
\u201cI\u2019m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I\u2019m lucky to be my son\u2019s mom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI mean, I know I\u2019m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules \u2013 and not just because he might have saved my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She concluded her message with a toast to \u201cfinding humor and hope on the toughest days.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timpf, a political analyst and comedian on Fox News and co-host of Gutfeld!, shared on Instagram on February 11 that she was past her due date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, I\u2019m still pregnant. Yes, I\u2019m past my due date,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She joked that it was the \u201clongest pregnancy of all time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked all the questions I could, including if I could get a copy of my tumor ultrasound to put on the fridge next to the ultrasound of my baby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fox News contributor worked through the final days of her pregnancy \u2013 which led some online trolls to ask intrusive questions and make gross comments about her pregnancy bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHi everyone! I am under the close care of a doctor, and I promise that both of us know and care far more about my health and the health of my own baby than any random online stranger does from just seeing me on TV,\u201d Timpf fired back on X on February 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough I\u2019m sure much of it is well-intentioned, I don\u2019t need to be bombarded with comments about how my belly looking this way or that way CLEARLY means I will be needing this or that procedure,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr how I shouldn\u2019t be at work, or concerns about my \u2018amniotic fluid\u2019 or any other wildly personal medical thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timpf announced her pregnancy last July in an emotional opinion story for Fox News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said she was surprised by the pregnancy because of her age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI never expected to find myself in this situation,\u201d Timpf wrote at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cActually, I\u2019d prepared myself for every outcome but this one: First, I expected that I wouldn\u2019t get pregnant, especially not naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce I did, I expected that I\u2019d probably miscarry. I mean, I am 35, which makes mine a geriatric pregnancy, medically speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October, Timpf opened up about the online hate she received throughout her pregnancy in an exclusive conversation with The U.S. Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know what\u2019s crazy? I really thought that being pregnant would make people be nicer to me but people are meaner to me now,\u201d Timpf said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said a number of trolls said they were annoyed with hearing about her pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI get a lot of people telling me to stop talking about it and they\u2019re sick of hearing about it,\u201d Timpf said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m so sorry that my pregnancy has been hard for you.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nine months of my life and then I\u2019m not gonna talk about it anymore and it\u2019s not gonna be happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She added, \u201cI talk about what\u2019s going on in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
