“All natural, it happened,” Peta, 36, shared with People. “I didn’t even know I was pregnant for so long until I was really feeling sick. I danced through Dancing with the Stars with it. I started feeling weird, started feeling a little bit sick and a little bloated and I didn’t want to test for weeks.”

Peta then took a pregnancy tests around her “six or seven-week” mark of conceiving, and was totally shocked by the results.

“I think it was the fastest positive I’ve ever seen in my life,” Peta, who is almost 18 weeks along, recalled. “It just came up super quick and I was just shocked. It’s been completely different from my past pregnancy.”

She continued, “It wasn’t like I jumped for joy and I shouted from the rooftops, ‘Oh my God, I’m pregnant. Yay!’ It was more like a, ‘Okay, well let’s see what happens because I’ve been through this four other times, and it hasn’t worked.’ So I was very skeptical. I didn’t even tell Maks for a while.”

Peta and Maks, 42, married in 2017 and already parents to 6-year-old son Shai.

The couple’s pregnancy news comes just three days after Maks‘ younger brother Val Chmerkovskiy and wife Jenna Johnson welcomed their first child!
