"In late February I gave birth to my daughter, Anne. She’s the best birthday present I could’ve ever imagined," Kaling wrote in the caption. 

She added, 'When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life. I’m so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!"

Soon after Mindy Kaling's post, some observant fans were quick to point out that this wasn’t the first time that Mindy announced a pregnancy and her baby's arrival months later. 

A person wrote on Instagram, “The way you’ve shocked us three times with three different kids!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!” Another said, “How does one have three whole children without being seen in public pregnant.”

A comment also read, "You are stealthy with your pregnancies!!! Gorgeous!!" Someone also wrote, "Queen of secretly giving birth." One person wrote, "How are you so good at hiding your pregnancies!?? Congratulations..." Actor Reese Witherspoon commented on Mindy's post, "Beautifully said..."
