revealed she , at age 28, just two years after marrying her longtime husband in Brad Hall in 1987.

While looking back at the loss during an episode of her  podcast, the  62-year-old Seinfeld star opened up about the harrowing experience. 

'When I was about 28, I got pregnant for the first time, and I was crazy happy,' she told her listeners. 'I got pregnant easily. I felt very fertile, very womanly. And then, quite late in the pregnancy, my husband Brad and I discovered that this little fetus was not going to live.'

She went on to explain that the situation became a 'complete nightmare' after she had to get hospitalized for 'a couple' days over an infection.

'I finally got out of the hospital, and I came home to recuperate, but I wasn't allowed to get out of bed yet. I was, as they say, bedridden,' she revealed.

Her mom, Judith Bowles, flew to be by her side and lend a hand during the recovery process.

'She made this incredible cozy chili in a cast iron skillet with cornbread on top in the pan,' Louis-Dreyfus said. 'She and my husband Brad set up a little card table at the foot of the bed. And the smell of that cornbread and the chili was so wonderful.'

While she was not initially able to eat solid foods yet, the mother-of-two described the aroma as one of her 'greatest memories.' 

'It didn't matter. It was the best meal ever, and I didn't even eat it. The making of it was so comforting and so embracing,' she explained.  

In 1992, Louis-Dreyfus and Hall welcomed their first child, Henry, now 30, then five years later, their second son, Charlie, 25. 

Charlie has followed his mom's footsteps since graduating Northwestern University, most recently appearing in TV series like The Sex Lives of College Girls and Single Drunk Female. 

The Veep actress previously admitted to having a 'lot of anxiety about being a mother working outside the home' and her fears of 'missing things.'

'I needed to be with them and I wasn’t. I’d had a nursery on the set at Seinfeld, and I would take both boys with me ― which in some ways was worse because then you’re so split! I was racing between the stage and the nursery, I was breastfeeding and all that s**t,' she previously told  in 2018. 

'When I was about 28, I got pregnant for the first time, and I was crazy happy,' she told her listeners. 'I got pregnant easily. I felt very fertile, very womanly. And then, quite late in the pregnancy, my husband Brad and I discovered that this little fetus was not going to live' (seen in 2020)

That same year, she looked on the 'glorious endeavor' of watching her children grow up.

'Even when they’re born ― I remember thinking, oh, God, I miss that movement in my body. And from there on that story continues: They crawl away from you,' she said.  

Louis-Dreyfus concluded: 'They go to school. It’s a constant. Separation has been a theme in my life, something that I’ve really struggled with.'

Over the years, she has credited the key to her long marriage to being on the 'same page in terms of how' they wanted to raise their kids and 'always trying new things together.' 

Louis-Dreyfus and her spouse met as students while attending Northwestern University through the comedy troupe that he started, called The Practical Theater. 

In 2013, she she told Craig Ferguson that she 'knew almost immediately' that Hall was her soul mate.
