The A Discovery of Witches star, 35, welcomed her fourth child with husband Mark Webber, daughter Prairie Moon Palmer, on Aug. 17, she announced on Instagram Thursday.

Earlier this year, Palmer debuted the book The Zen Mama Guide to Finding Your Rhythm in Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond, which she co-wrote with friend and fellow actress Sarah Wright Olsen, who has three kids. In the text, Palmer opened up about having a miscarriage six years ago.

"I had been through a pregnancy loss in 2015, and I remember that one of the saddest parts of it was that the pregnancy books that I had got out again for the second time and I was excitedly reading through, I suddenly felt kicked out of the club, because I lost my baby," she told PEOPLE in April. "In these pregnancy books, there was nothing about pregnancy loss. I just sheepishly put away all my pregnancy books again."

"We want women to pick up this book and read it and feel so included in the process. If they're reading this book and they suffer pregnancy loss, they don't have to put this book away," she added. "They can continue reading this book. If they're struggling with infertility, they can continue reading this book. You hear pregnancy loss and you think of one particular thing, but there are so many specific types of loss. We just wanted to dedicate that time to writing about all of it."

The actress has also spoken about her disordered relationship with food and how motherhood "liberated" her. Last summer, the Warm Bodies actress revealed on the Mamamia Me Before You podcast that she has suffered from the eating disorder orthorexia, which according to the National Eating Disorder Association is "an obsession with proper or 'healthful' eating."

Having children "healed" her relationship with food, she explained.

"My body just blossomed and I had this big belly and I could feel life within me, and it was just incredible seeing what my body could do," she said of pregnancy. "I was getting stretch marks on my boobs and cellulite all over my bum and the backs of my thighs."

"I was finally liberated from these judgments that I had surrounding my body, which I realized had existed since I was ... a teenager," Palmer said. "Since being a mum, I've embraced it all. The lumps and the bumps and the stretch marks. ... It's a map of my journey of bringing my babies into the world."
