Peta Murgatroyd gives fans a pregnancy update.

Peta Murgatroyd and her husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy are expecting their second child together in the coming months. As Murgatroyd progresses in her pregnancy, it becomes more difficult for her.

“Just another fun little update. I just don’t sleep. I don’t sleep well at all. And I’m exhausted,” the Dancing With the Stars pro wrote on her Instagram Stories on Feb. 20, 2023.

“I looked at the clock yesterday and it was 2am. Baby kicks from 2am to 6am and then I just get up and I’m frustrated because I’ve gone to the bathroom four times,” she added.

Peta Murgatroyd’s second pregnancy is beginning to take its toll

Dressed casually, Murgatroyd spoke to fans and let them know how she was feeling.

“I’m just so tired. Oh dear God. I’m exhausted,” she said. She also shared that she struggled with heartburn, which was affecting her sleep as well.

“I’m trying to just lie on my left side because my right side? It’s true what they say. My heartburn starts immediately. For example, within 60 seconds acid comes down my right side of my throat. It’s wild,” she explained.

Murgatroyd went on to say that this pregnancy is very different than the first time, mainly because she has a child to look after. “I don’t have the luxury of just lying down whenever I feel like it,” she admitted.

Murgatroyd finds some of her normal daily chores, like cleaning the house or washing dishes, making her even more tired. She admitted she’s “not complaining” but rather aware that she’s pregnant and it’s okay to ask for help.

“I love it, but it’s a different kind of experience because I realized that I’ve been going through my day and I haven’t sat down once,” she said, adding, “I guess I just have to be aware.” how much I make. Delegate more tasks to others. Because this week has been crazy.”

Peta Murgatroyd has also suffered from back pain and nausea

As well as feeling exhausted, Murgatroyd said she suffers from back pain, especially when she’s on her feet for long periods of time. Couple that with no sleep and it wasn’t a very comfortable time in her pregnancy.

“I’m still so sick. I’m sick as hell this morning,” she told her followers. She said she’d allowed herself a cup of coffee a day — which kinda helps with the no-sleep thing — but it really upset her stomach.

In another post, Murgatroyd did a boomerang of herself as she was resting on the couch.

“Back on the couch for me… I’ll take your advice and listen to my body,” she captioned the post after receiving messages from fans encouraging her to take it really easy.

Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy have not revealed whether they are expecting a boy or girl. The baby is expected in the next few months.
