Trainor has no plans of halting her career or not adding to her growing family. Currently 24 weeks pregnant with baby number two, Trainor has said that she would like to have four kids.

"I'm just so grateful I can get pregnant. And I'm like, 'I'm crushing it. This is amazing. This is my dreams,'" she told PEOPLE in January, after announcing she's pregnant. "I'm halfway there — I want four kids!"

Trainor said this time around, things are different for her.

"It's like a real pregnancy. The first one was like make-believe. I had no symptoms with Riley to the point where I was like, 'We need to go to the doctor. There's nothing in me.' I got my symptoms late in my pregnancy with Riley," she said. "I got them right away with this baby."
