She welcomed two with her ex-husband, Courtland Davis, and her third from a previous relationship from when she was filming Boy Meets World.
Thedford is also father to a son named Elijah from a previous relationship.
However, McGee said they wanted to expand their family and have a baby together.
“I’ve been saying for a while that I wanted a baby with my now husband of 16 years,” she explained.
She recalled that they were “trying” to conceive naturally and considered IVF before turning to natural remedies.
She explained at the time that she had been in menopause for a year.
She explained that they sought help from “shamans” in Belize, where Thedford has a “cultural background,” and had worked with the Garifuna people to reverse the early stages of menopause.
She claimed that she and Thedford were able to conceive their baby because she started taking the medicinal herbs recommended to her in Belize and maintained her healthy lifestyle.

Additionally, McGee also said that living in a low-stress environment helped her reverse menopause symptoms and become pregnant.
“The most important thing for me is not to engage in any stress and stay away from negativity as much as possible, and that relates to what I put on TV, what I watch on my phone, you know, there’s so much drama and violence and negativity as soon as you turn on the screen,” she said.
“I really wanted it to be pointed out to me when I turn on the screen – what I’m looking at,” she continued. ‘Because stress is the biggest factor for me.’
In her interview with the outlet, she also feels hunger, nausea and exhaustion during her fourth pregnancy, but she remains positive despite the side effects.
As for what she’s feeling this time, McGee said she experienced “just pure joy.”
“I don’t participate in the negativity anyone has to say about it,” she continued. ‘I am so happy. I’m blessed, and that’s all.
“And the only thing I’m worried about – I only have one job now – is having this baby, and that’s what I care about.”
This comes shortly after she announced on Monday that she was pregnant with her fourth child.

McGee shared the happy news in an Instagram post, accompanied by The Supremes’ 1964 hit Baby Love.
“At the tender age of 54, I found myself pregnant,” she wrote against a plain background.
Addressing her 96,000 followers, she added: “Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery. Thank you.’
In her caption, she said she would be “logging off social media for a while.”
The actress appeared to have shared her baby news during a carefree holiday in Belize, as she shared photos from a trip to Malacate Beach in the Central American country.
McGee first met her husband nearly thirty years ago while filming the Sylvester Stallone thriller Daylight in Rome.

About her pregnancy, McGee also shared that she spoke to some of her former co-stars and crew, including Danielle Fishel – who welcomed her own children at ages 38 and 40.
Well, funny enough, so did I [talk to them] before I announced it,” she said.
“I happened to have a little business phone call with Danielle and we were all texting and I said, ‘By the way, I’m pretty sure I’m pregnant,’ and they were so nice and everything. Cheerful.’
