Glee alum Becca Tobin shared July 23 that she and husband Zach Martin welcomed their second baby, with their daughter arriving nearly six weeks before their surrogate’s due date.
Becca Tobin became a second-time mom ahead of schedule.
The Glee alum shared that she has welcomed her second child with husband Zach Martin—a baby girl named Meyer June Martin after Tobin’s great-grandfather and grandmother, respectively. While their little one is doing “good,” Meyer is staying in the NICU after arriving more than five weeks premature.
“My daughter decided to make an early entrance into the world,” Tobin announced on a July 23 episode of her podcast, The LadyGang. “She’s here.”
Tobin and Martin decided to move forward with inducing their surrogate Katie early, as Katie was experiencing preeclampsia, which Tobin noted could be a “pretty dangerous thing, definitely for Katie, and then sometimes for the baby.”
“The doctor was like, ‘You know what? At this point, the baby is cooked pretty nicely,'” the podcaster explained of how they made the decision to deliver their early arrival at 5 pounds, 9 ounces, adding, “She was supposed to be born August 26, and she was born July 19.”
And while the change of plans was unexpected, Tobin called the birth experience “the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.” The epidural-free labor was especially memorable after welcoming her and Martin’s first child—Rutherford “Ford” Thomas Martin, now 4—via C-section through their previous surrogate, which Tobin marveled was “obviously beautiful, too.”
After all, the NCIS: Los Angeles actress got the opportunity to deliver her secondborn with her own hands.
“The doctor or midwife looks at me, and she goes, ‘Do you want to deliver your baby?’ And I was like, ‘Um, yes?'” the 40-year-old recounted. “I put on her gloves. I stand at the bottom, and she’s like, ‘There’s her head.'”

Indeed, Tobin became a mom of two very suddenly. As she put it, “This baby comes sliding out, and me and the midwife are like holding the baby.”
Though Tobin and Martin’s latest addition will remain in hospital care for the next two to six weeks—and was born with her umbilical cord “wrapped around twice”—Tobin was grateful to remark, “She looks great.”
