“It was really difficult, but I’m glad that we’re past that,” Carson said at the time. “And that we’re both healthy. But yeah, I definitely was stressed.”
Carson and McAllister, who wed on Jan. 1, 2016, learned they were expecting their first child together in May 2020 — just two months after the country went into a full lockdown amid the pandemic. At the time, the couple was “really nervous” about Carson being pregnant during the ongoing pandemic, the pro dancer said.
“We didn’t go anywhere,” Carson recalled. “Literally, we stayed at home, and we were really, really afraid because there were no studies about pregnant women. There really were no studies at all for just normal people. But to be pregnant during COVID was really scary.”
“It’s just crazy how it worked out,” she said. “Because we were so worried for all those nine months of getting it, getting it, getting it. And then finally, when I actuallyreallydidn’t need to get it, I got it. And we were so careful.”
