An uneasy moment. Peta Murgatroyd recalled being hesitant to celebrate her second pregnancy after a failed IVF attempt.“It wasn’t like I was jumping up out of the bathroom, like, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t wait to [tell everyone].’ It was almost like I was scared,” Murgatroyd, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, March 7, of the moment she discovered she was pregnant with baby No.

2. “It was a positive scary moment for me because it wasn’t something that I was sure of. It wasn’t something that I knew would last.”The Dancing With the Stars pro explained: “I definitely wanted to, just sort of, hide my emotions a little bit and just kind of put a protective shield around myself to not let myself get too excited before this [turned] into something real.”Murgatroyd, who shares 6-year-old son Shai with husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy, recalled having a “different” experience during the early days of her second pregnancy.“I held back for three days before I told Max.

Because I wanted to see what happened. It’s been a scary road because honestly, every time I would use the restroom, I would panic,” the New Zealand native told Us while promoting her Peta Jane Beauty line. “A sort of panic would set in, like, this could be the last time you feel this way or feel this good, you know?

It was different until I kind of hit maybe like the 14, 15-week mark where I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’ Everyone told me to fricking relax.”Murgatroyd noted that she’s been thinking “positive thoughts” ever since.
