By Afouda Bamidele on June 2, 2023 at 12:00 PM EDT
Peta Murgatroyd's baby is almost here, and as she has done since sharing the news, she is rejuvenating fans with more pregnancy discoveries.
Besides herself and loved ones — her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and son, Shai — Murgatroyd's supporters are also in the loop of all information concerning her second pregnancy journey. Once again, the soon-to-be mom-of-two—38 weeks pregnant—- shares new pregnancy details with her 980,000 Instagram followers.
Peta Murgatroyd Opens Up About Shopping For Unborn Child In Pregnancy Update
On Tuesday, the "Dancing With the Stars" season 22 winner posted two clips of herself in a vehicle discussing how she can't wait to see her little one at her doctor's appointments and the latest shopping she did for her unborn child.
In the first post, Murgatroyd began by enlightening her followers that she is attending "one of her last" doctor's appointments, iterating further that she is excited to meet her second kid. Also, she registered her happiness to be in her 38 weeks of pregnancy. The doting mom said:
"What's up everybody, just a little check-in whilst I'm driving to one of my last appointments---i believe," adding, "which is kind of insane. I cannot believe that i am pretty much 38 weeks..... I can't wait to see this little boy again. I haven't seen him in like three weeks or more, so I am interested to see how much he's grown."

The reality TV star used a brief moment to communicate that she would be "linking some products she has been loving and the newest 'super cute and gorgeous'" baby clothes she got.
After that, Murgatroyd delved into the "belly belt" she got. She clarified that the belt helps with the "lift around her baby bump and shoulders" as her second child is "much heavier." "And this belly belt, I cannot wait to show you…..," the pro-dancer said. "My Gosh, does it help with the lift around my shoulders," she added.
Concluding the discussion, the "DWTS" contestant said, "Like I didn't just want a band around my waist. I wanted something that went over my shoulders and held him[her pregnancy] up; for some reason, it's difficult with the weight this time."
Though the "Burn the Floor" star sounds optimistic in this upload, that wasn't the case in her previous post, where she talked about feeling "more uncomfortable" during this pregnancy than her first.
The TV personality first informed her fans that she was "feeling good," she, however, made them know she was experiencing minor setbacks like "slowing down" and "being out of breath."
She shared how different this pregnancy felt compared to Shai's: "More uncomfortable than ever, I can't remember being this uncomfortable with Shai. I don't know if it's because this baby is more front, and Shai was just like all over. I do no know, but I'm way more uncomfortable now."

She described having swollen fingers that struggle to accommodate her rings— even swollen ankles that allow her socks to "cut in and make marks around." In the next upload, the Ballroom dancer mentioned that she hadn't gotten a nanny yet. In her words: "I still haven't found a nanny, guys. I want to rip my hair out because I need a full-time nanny."
Peta Murgatroyd Wants To Return To Work After Childbirth
Part of the "Faith, Hope & Love" actress' refreshingly honest pregnancy updates to fans have included her plans to return to work after delivering her baby. The message from a few days ago showed Muratroyd's intention to do things differently from her first pregnancy in the beginning stage, as she is choosing to go back to "work ASAP" this time.
The former actress said: "I think you know this time around I'll do it a little bit different[ly] in the beginning. You know I'm looking to go back to work ASAP."
The professional Latin dancer described the kind of help she would need. "It's all about having the perfect amount of help," she said before adding, "It shouldn't be much that you don't know what to do with the person or too little where you're still struggling to get stuff done during the day when left alone."
The "Blackpool Dance Festival" star then disclosed that she was hiring a "full-time" nanny because her parents and parents-in-law are not living closely. Also, she is doing that because her mother's "green card" is taking a long time.
