Ashley Iaconetti, 36, is expecting her second child with her husband Jared Haibon, 35.
During an Instagram Q&A on Sunday, The Bachelor alum was asked how long it took her to get pregnant with son Dawson, two, and how long it took to get pregnant the second time.
‘Dawson took 7 months to conceive and baby #2 took 2 months. I had a chemical pregnancy the first month,’ Iaconetti shared, causing questions about what a chemical pregnancy is.
‘Here’s the definition of a chemical pregnancy: A chemical pregnancy is a very early miscarriage that happens within the first five weeks of pregnancy.
‘An embryo forms and may even embed in your uterus lining (implantation), but then it stops developing,’ she explained.

‘Chemical pregnancies occur so early that many people who miscarry don’t realize it,’ the Bachelor In Paradise alum wrote.
‘I did get a positive test that month and I started bleeding a few days later. I knew what was happening within an hour or so bc a close friend also had a chemical pregnancy,’ she explained.
‘I was sad for a few days, but it was month #1 and my midwife was encouraging and said that often you’ll get pregnant the next month. It’s almost like your body is in prepare mode.’
In January, the couple revealed they were expecting and Haibon was over the moon.
‘We want Dawson to have a sibling,’ Haibon told People at the time.
‘That’s very important. Both of us come from families with two kids. So we wanted to give that to Dawson. I want that big family dynamic, but man, having so many kids is just so overwhelming,’ he continued.
‘So even the idea of a second kid, it’s no longer two-on-one where we can play defense against him. Now it’s just one-on-one.’
Last month, the couple had a sex reveal party at Walt Disney World.
The Bachelor Nation alums bit into a pair of cupcakes and revealed that they were expecting a second baby boy.
‘Dawson took 7 months to conceive and baby #2 took 2 months. I had a chemical pregnancy the first month,’ Iaconetti shared, causing questions about what a chemical pregnancy is.

Iaconetti predicted that she was going to have another son just before the gender reveal, and she quipped: ‘I thought it was going to be a boy before I was pregnant.’
Haibon then stated that he was excited about the prospect of starting a family-of-four, and he remarked that the ‘idea that we’re gonna have two boys is gonna be a lot of fun.’
The cast member of The Bachelor Winter Games went on to speak about how she had originally wanted a girl during her first pregnancy.
‘It’s funny because when it comes to gender disappointment, I had it so much worse with Dawson. We found out, and I was upset for a day or two,’ she said, adding: ‘I really actually do not even care what the combo is now, I just want them to be close.’
