Arnold-Cusick Announced Her Second Pregnancy Via TikTok
Arnold-Cusick has been documenting her pregnancy via TikTok, with her audience of more than 250,000 people following her journey.
In August 2022, she posted an emotional video with her daughter, where she thought she was pregnant but then found out it was a false positive.
“When you get a positive pregnancy test and then start your [period] a few days later but your sweet daughter is there for you every step of the way,” she wrote in the video, which garnered more than 5 million views.
Months later, Arnold-Cusick happily announced she was pregnant with her second child. She said the video was “the moment I found out” about the pregnancy. She smiled, hugged her daughter, and showed a picture of a positive pregnancy test.
Arnold-Cusick told People she was “hesitant” to get excited about the pregnancy at first because of her fertility struggles, but that all changed when she heard the baby’s heartbeat for the first time.
“I think that’s something I’ve really learned throughout all of the things, is to trust your body, trust the timing, trust God’s timing, and that’s what we’re doing,” she told the outlet. “I feel really good, feel very much at peace and very confident about the fact that I think my body is doing what it’s supposed to be doing.”
