Amy Schumer Returns to Work on Set of Kinda Pregnant After Revealing Her Cushing Syndrome Diagnosis

Amy Schumer is hard at work on her upcoming Netflix movie, Kinda Pregnant.

The comedian was photographed smiling on the New York City set of the project on Monday, wearing a black dress and sneakers.

Directed by The Out-Laws filmmaker Tyler Spindel, Kinda Pregnant is about a woman who "wears a fake baby bump" after she becomes "jealous of her best friend’s pregnancy." But, according to a synopsis, she then "accidentally meets the man of her dreams."

The cast also includes Jillian Bell, Will Forte, Damon Wayans Jr. and Brianne Howey. Schumer is among the producers behind the film, along with Adam Sandler, Molly Sims and more.

Last week, Schumer, 42, revealed that she was diagnosed with Cushing syndrome while promoting season 2 of her Hulu series Life & Beth. (She had previously said she was dealing with "some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I'm okay.")

The I Feel Pretty actress said in Friday's edition of Jessica Yellin's "News Not Noise" newsletter that she felt "reborn" after getting a diagnosis.

"While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up. So finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy was the greatest news imaginable," said Schumer.

"It has been a crazy couple [of] weeks for me and my family," she added. "Aside from fears about my health, I also had to be on camera having the internet chime in. But thank God for that. Because that's how I realized something was wrong."

Schumer called her diagnosis a "good example of the fact that we never know what is going on with someone." She added, "Everyone is struggling with something. Maybe we can all be a little kinder to each other and ourselves."
