'DWTS' Pro Peta Murgatroyd's 'Scary' Pregnancy Moment Mid House Move

Dancing With The Stars' Peta Murgatroyd has revealed she had a scare when she started having contractions weeks before her baby was due.

The dancer was left in tears and had to lie down after she felt the contractions starting as she and her husband, fellow DWTS star Maksim Chmerkovskiy, rushed to finish their dream home in time for the arrival of their third child.

Fans saw the moment in the couple's series, The Maks and Peta Show . The pair—who share sons Shai, seven, and Rio, one—were unpacking and working out the measurements of their furniture when Murgatroyd felt something.

"Jesus, I had a little mini contraction," she said. "I'm not even joking... maybe I will lie down for one second."

Lying on the bed and wiping away tears, she said: "I don't even know why I'm crying. It just all tightened up. And I was like, I have not felt that since having Rio."

"We are under a time crunch, it's not like the baby is going to stay in extra long so I can get furniture in, the right ones," she said in a piece to camera. "It was a really nerve-wracking situation, kind of made me have contractions."

Discussing the moment on the show afterwards, the star said it had been a "crazy seven years" as the couple tried to expand their brood. "We had three miscarriages, it was just a crazy crazy time in our life," she said. "And our IVF didn't work, it's just been an emotional rollercoaster, honestly, to say the least.

"I have done Dancing With The Stars pregnant three times now, I go back to work seven weeks after giving birth. It's a lot.

"Yeah it was a little scary, everything just went [clenching gesture]. I think it was the measurements. I think it was just, Oh my God the room doesn't work. At all. And then just, I haven't sat down since 5 a.m. Since Rio woke up, so, I think that's also why."

"It was the first contraction I have had in this pregnancy and it really scared me," she went on. Murgatroyd said in the moment she was thinking to herself: "I can't deliver a baby right now, that's not going to happen."

"I'm used to being the boss, I'm used to being the one that kind of runs the show in the household so when things like that happen to me and I have to lie down and things catch me off guard and I get surprised by something, it kind of really affects me," she said.

Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy welcomed their third son, Milan, in July.

Newsweek has contacted representatives for Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy for comment.
