Alyssa Milano Recalls Delaying Daughter's Birth Date To Match Beyoncé's

Alyssa Milano appears to be Beyonce's biggest fan as the Hollywood sensation took fangirling to a whole new level with the birth of her daughter, Elizabella Dylan.
On a recent episode of PEOPLE's "Me Becoming Mom" podcast, the "Sorry Not Sorry" author got candid about motherhood, including the crazy things she has done as a proud mother-of-two.
Most shocking of all the actress's bombshells was that she delayed her daughter's birth so it could match Queen Bey's birthday.
How Beyoncé determined the Birth Of Alyssa Milano's Daughter
Seven years ago, the "Charmed" star had an interesting choice to make — whether or not her daughter would be born on September 3 or September 4.
This question arose because Elizabella arrived five weeks earlier than anticipated, and her mother was scheduled for a C-section delivery.
The doctor, who the mother-of-two adores, gave her the golden opportunity of choosing what day her bundle of joy would be born.
With the help of the "Who's The Boss?" star's best friend Alaa, the actress chose September 4 after an internet search revealed that Beyoncé was born on the same day.
Elizabella, who is currently 7-years-old is the "Hope" author's only daughter. The Hollywood star has an older son, Milo Thomas, with her husband, David Bugliari.
The "Mistresses" Star's Experiences With Childbirth — The Good And The Bad
During her podcast confessions, the political activist revealed that she has grown fond of the scar gotten from her C-section procedure.
The 48-year-old proudly gushed about the mark, as she stated that not everyone was brave enough to undergo the cutting and re-stitching process involved in bringing her child to the world.
This is why the "Insatiable" star embraced her scar rather than try to get rid of it. In her words, "There's something incredibly tribal about it, almost. It feels almost like a tattoo in a way."
However, childbirth has not always been a rosy experience for Milano. The Blast recently shed light on the "Me Too movement" activist's painful first labor.
During the birth of her son 10 years ago, the "My Name Is Earl" actress experienced traumatizing flashbacks of past sexual assault incidents.
These horrible memories were triggered because too many people had access to Milano's body in the labor room. This heartbreaking incident didn't end there as the actress's distress turned into postpartum depression.
How did childbirth cause such a disturbing reaction for the children's book author? The answer was revealed during the therapy sessions required to help the "Commando" star heal from her trauma.
The activist recalled being touched without her consent, similarly to how she couldn't oppose the various doctors in the labor room.
The actress has been abused twice in her life, once when she was a teenager. The young girl was punched repeatedly in the vagina and suffocated by an unknown assailant during a concert.
Despite the horrors of her past, the "Embrace Of The Vampire" actress has not allowed this to stop her from being an amazing mother and a successful entertainer.
