Daddario opened up about her pregnancy news following a 'very, very painful loss.'
In an interview with Vogue's Elise Taylor, the Baywatch actress candidly spoke about the highs and lows of her pregnancy journey.
"I feel like now that I’m pregnant and it’s all successful and everything’s healthy, I shouldn’t complain," Daddario said.
Unfortunately, this wasn't always the case for the actress.
Daddario did not elaborate on the 'loss' she experienced, but revealed she had been pregnant in the past.
"Well, I had been pregnant," Daddario told Taylor, who noted the actress' smile vanished from her face as she trailed off, "I had loss."
"It’s long and complicated, so I don’t want to be too specific," the 38-year-old explained, without naming exactly what the "loss" was. "Those kinds of losses and trauma are very hard to explain unless you’ve been through them. I really relate to all the women who have been through those kinds of things in a way that I didn’t understand fully before."
The actress said finding out she was pregnant again was 'quite hard to process.'
Daddario added, "It’s very, very painful."
Upon finding out that she was pregnant again, the San Andreas star revealed she experienced mixed emotions.
"It was actually quite hard to process," she admitted. "You have a lot of complicated feelings."

Daddario noted that a busy work schedule added to the "complicated feelings" she was processing regarding her pregnancy.
"I was so overwhelmed with work. Part of me was like, This is the worst thing ever. Then part of me was like, This is actually a great distraction," she explained. "Because I’m not sitting there all day long in my house going, 'If I pick up this pot to make pasta, is something bad going to happen? If I eat this pasta, is something bad going to happen?'"
Despite her initial 'complicated feelings,' Daddario said she's 'finally embracing' her bump.
