Arnold also went into detail about the disappointment of receiving a positive pregnancy test — only to constantly get negative tests every day.

‘On month nine I get a vague positive test. It was very bland. So I’m like, “Oh, it just has to be early”. I was testing early. So I thought, “Okay, it’s just a vague early positive.” And then literally every day after that was negative.

“I’ve heard so many different things, it could have been a chemical pregnancy, it could have been a false positive, which I think is super rare. I have no idea what happened, but it was horrible because I got all excited, I was so pumped out of my head, Sam told… was really tough, because I was like, “Oh god, no, maybe I can’t get pregnant? As if this is going to be difficult.”‘

Despite the setback, she learned just a month later that she was indeed expecting her second child.

“So that was a tough month, but the craziest ever, because the next month I found out I was pregnant.”

Speaking of her last pregnancy, she shared: e! News: ‘To be honest, it still feels a bit surreal.’

“It was just the best feeling,” she said of her pregnancy. “My husband and I have been trying for a while. And it’s something we knew we wanted, so it was just such a huge blessing. We are excited to expand our family.”

She is also waiting to learn the sex of her second child.

“I was a million percent convinced I was going to have a boy for my first pregnancy and I was clearly wrong,” she told the outlet. “Now I just feel like I can’t even trust my intuition. I’ll find out soon.’

Lindsay made her debut on DWTS in Season 16 at age 19, the second youngest professional dancer in the show’s history behind Julianne Hough who joined the show at age 18.

She teamed up with NFL receiver Victor Cruz during her debut season, finishing in eighth place.

She was moved to the dance troupe from Season 17 through Season 20, when she returned as a pro partner in Season 21 with National Guard hero Alex Skarlatos, finishing in third place.

She won her first Mirror Ball in Season 25 with Jordan Fisher and teamed up with Bachelor Nation star Matt James last year, finishing in 12th place.
