Ellen Pompeo Passes Pregnancy Tips to Sarah Drew

Ellen Pompeo picks up a bag of groceries from Nature Mart on Monday (August 15) in Los Feliz, Calif.

The 41-year-old actress has been giving pregnancy advice to her Grey’s Anatomy co-star, Sarah Drew, who’s expecting her first child early next year.

“Ellen is so great. She is a wealth of information. She loves to take care of people on set. As soon as I got pregnant, she sat me down and said, ‘Okay, let’s talk. How’s the nausea? Are you thinking of nannies?’” Sarah shared.

“[She was] so incredibly helpful and engaged right off the bat. She gave me great advice for helping with the nausea! Boil fresh ginger to make a tea, and bring it to work to sip on when the nausea arises. This was really helpful … it definitely worked!” she added.
