AceShowbiz - Meghan Trainor, the "Made You Look" singer and Grammy winner, recently opened up about the tumultuous experience of her second pregnancy. In a candid discussion on the June 5 episode of "Mythical Kitchen's Last Meals", Trainor detailed the rollercoaster of emotions she faced after finding out she was pregnant with her second child, Bruce, now 10 months old.
"That morning I was, like, stoked, beaming of joy, I videotaped it. I did interviews and they were like, 'How are you?' and I said, 'I'm thriving.' I was so happy," Trainor recalled. However, her joy was short-lived.
"And then, right before my last interview, I look down and I'm gushing blood," she said, adding that she "ruined a chair." Despite the scare, Trainor had to continue with her interview with Ryan Seacrest, holding back tears the entire time.
Trainor shared that after finishing the interview, she urgently informed her team, "Hey team I think I'm miscarrying right now." Expecting the worst, she was surprised when subsequent tests still showed a positive pregnancy result.
"I got a blood test done, and it's like the number is zero if you're not pregnant. My number was 90,000," Trainor explained. A visit to the doctor revealed that she had been pregnant for much longer than she initially realized. "At six weeks I went in and she goes, 'Woah, that's a 10-week-old baby,' " she continued.
Reflecting further, Trainor mentioned her performance last October on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon", where she promoted her new album, "Takin' It Back". She humorously recalled, "That day, I literally did a TikTok that was like, 'When you get your period on Fallon...'. And that was me implanting. I was making mother***ing life. I was making life during my sound check at Fallon."
According to the Mayo Clinic, implantation bleeding is common and usually happens 10 to 14 days after conception, around the time one would expect a menstrual period.
Trainor's journey through her second pregnancy was markedly different from her first with son Riley, who was born in February 2021. This time, Trainor faced significant bleeding early on, leading her initially to believe she wasn't pregnant. In contrast to her first pregnancy, where she experienced no sickness, the second round left her struggling with nausea, necessitating the constant presence of snacks like Quaker rice cakes to keep her symptoms at bay.
Through it all, Trainor's resilience and optimism have shone through. She is now sharing her experiences in her new book, "Dear Future Mama", which offers an intimate guide to pregnancy, birth, and new motherhood, expected to hit the shelves on April 25th. Trainor's candidness provides invaluable insights and support to expectant mothers navigating the complex landscape of pregnancy.
