Pregnancy the second time around is proving to be a bit more challenging forBillie Lourd.
The 30 year-old, who shares 2-year-old sonKingston Fisherwith husbandAusten Rydell, experienced her first pregnancy during theCOVID-19pandemic.
“I went nowhere,” she told PEOPLE Monday at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movieTicket to Paradise. “I knitted a blanket, and I watchedTheSopranos, and I watchedThe Wireand I didn’t leave my couch. It was a very different vibe.”
This time, not only is Lourd managing a toddler, but she has continued working throughout her pregnancy. She jokingly calls herself “a psycho person” as she reflects on her busy last few months.
“I didAmerican Horror Story, and then I just wrapped this other movie that I shot in London,” she says.
And as her bump has become more visible, Lourd says it’s getting harder to travel and keep up with her busy schedule: “I tried to hide my stomach, like, ‘Am I allowed to fly here? Is this okay?’ "

It’s not something she got to experience with her own mom, the lateCarrie Fisher, but she says it “would’ve been incredible” to get to see Fisher star in a movie while Lourd was in her belly.
“That’s why I also wanted to do it. Because it will be cool for this kid to be able to Google it and see themself,” she tells PEOPLE.
“I got to do this movie … that was so special and incredible, and I got to be pregnant in it, and that was such an amazing experience and I’m so excited for my kid to get to see me in that,” Lourd says of her latest project,And Mrs., which recently wrapped in London.

The second-time mom-to-be wrote in an Instagram post Mondaythat she was “emo af"asAnd Mrs.wrapped filming last week — though it was possible the emotions were stemming from her being “907 years pregnant.”
At Monday’s L.A. premiere ofTicket to Paradise, which she stars in alongsideGeorge Clooney,Julia RobertsandKaitlyn Dever, Lourd joked that, after the work she’s put in while heavily pregnant, her child will have no worthy excuses to make.
“If they ever say they don’t want to do their homework, I’m going to be like, ‘Watch this movie. I was 9,000 years pregnant with you. You better have a good work ethic,’ " she tells PEOPLE. “If that doesn’t give you a good work ethic, I don’t know what will.”
