Mandy Moore Announced Oscar Bennett's Arrival On Social Media

Moore, 38, posted a carousel of black-and-white photos captioned, "Ozzie is here! Oscar Bennett Goldsmith arrived a little late but with much aplomb (and an easier/speedier delivery than his big brother, much to the delight of his parents). Every adage is true: our hearts have doubled in size and the immediacy of the love is astounding. He is beyond words and we are so grateful for our family of four! 💓💓💓💓"

Mandy Moore Canceled Her Tour Due To Health Reasons During Pregnancy

Moore released her new album, "In Real Life," in May and was scheduled to be on tour for the remainder of 2022 before announcing her second pregnancy. She ended up cancelling the rest of the tour citing health reasons as the cause of her decision.

In an interview published in July in Today Parents, Moore revealed that she isn't able to get an epidural during labor and delivery because of a rare autoimmune disorder called immune thrombocytopenic purpura, or ITP. She wasn't able to have an epidural during August's birth either.

"My platelets are too low for an epidural. It was awful. But I can do it one more time. I can climb that mountain again," she said. "I wish medication was an option - just the idea of it being on the table is so nice. But we'll just push forth like we did last time." When a woman's platelets are too low, an epidural can cause injury around the spinal cord. "I am fine. I just have to continue to get my blood checked - my platelet levels checked - throughout pregnancy," Moore said. "They're low, but they've always been low. But I'm all good. Everything's good."
