Peta Murgatroyd Declares Intention Of Going 'Back To Work ASAP' After Child Birth

Peta Murgatroyd is getting refreshingly honest about her plans after delivering her baby.

A few weeks before the 36-year-old welcomes her second child with her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, she is figuring out her next move on how to care for her newborn properly and, by extension, allow her the grace to satisfy her intention of getting back to work as soon as she can.

En route to being a second-time mom, the "Dancing With the Star" pro dancer stopped by her Instagram Story to share a video explaining what she will do after delivering her baby boy. 

The message started with the mother of one mentioning she intends to do things differently from her first pregnancy in the beginning stage because of the choice to go back to "work ASAP." Murgatroyd said:

"I think you know this time around I'll do it a little bit different[ly] in the beginning. You know I'm definitely looking to go back to work ASAP."

The "DWTS" contestant proceeded with the kind of help she needed, saying, "It's all about having the perfect amount of help." She adds that it shouldn't be much that you don't know what to do with the person or too little where you're still struggling to get stuff done during the day when left alone.

However, the "Faith, Hope & Love" actress, in the end, disclosed that due to her and Chmerkovskiy's parents not living near her and her mother's "green card" taking a long time, she is hiring a "full-time" nanny.

As it is, the New Zealand native loves to put extra thought into her future, and sometimes she gets very gloomy about it. The Blast recently noted that she got emotional about her toddler and soon-to-come newborn maturing out of their dependent years.

The "Burn the Floor" star shared a video on her Stories describing the level of void children leave around the home when they outgrow their toddling phase. Set to a cool piano tune, the video journeys viewers through how the bathroom gets used less often to how one can no longer find cluttered spaces, fridge handprints, or Lego toys lying on the floor.  

Across the emotional post, the professional dancer expressed sadness over the inevitable change coming her way. She explained that though she pushes to keep her home clean and organized, she would surely miss the days she doesn't have to as her children become grown-ups. Her caption read:

"This just made me weep… I'm always striving to have the cleanest house, nothing on the counters, toys perfectly placed on she, etc….but knowing this day will eventually come[,] my heart literally aches….I know I will miss the mess, the craziness…the utter mental/ physical exhaustion."

Speaking of sharing raw and honest pregnancy details, this is not the first time the reality TV star has gotten honest with her fans. In March, The Blast reported that Murgatroyd was dealing with tiredness and weakness as her pregnancy progressed. In a series of Instagram updates, the pregnant mom talked about specific pregnancy struggles  — one of which is exhaustion. 

Looking visibly tired in the first post, Murgatroyd donned a gray cotton shirt with a write-up in front and let her hair loose while lying on the couch. She explained how she took her son, Shai, to school and then retired to the sofa, where she had been all day. 

Later, the star opened up about the issues with her pregnancy, saying: "Tired, Exhausted, this week, I feel like I doubled in size. I feel like the baby is growing too much." Ultimately, she expressed frustration about the difficulty of going back to sleep when she wakes because it is still dark outside.

In the following video, the TV personality continued saying, "My body just wants to sleep." She further related a scenario where her body convinced her to rest more, but she nodded off. She then said:

"I feel I have to set my alarm for 6 to then snooze till 6:30, and then I'm maybe……I can wait up with a bit more vigor."

The doting mother finally revealed she would "push through" despite being tired throughout the week.
