Back in January, the expectant mom of two spoke with PEOPLE about her motherhood era and shared that she’s been loving watching her daughters “grow and learn” every day.
“It’s truly an honor that I get to guide them and watch them, and experience their journey of becoming who they’re meant to be,” she said at the time.

“Something that’s been really rewarding for me is reminding myself of the values and the things that are important to me because I’m thinking about what I want to instill in and teach my daughters,” said Lindsay. “So, while I’m working on and thinking about the things that I want to help them know about themselves and help them grow into, it also has reminded me of those things that are important.”
That same month, Lindsay shared on her social media channels that she’d had breast augmentation surgery. This past July, the former professional dancer appeared on an episode of The Squeeze podcast and explained why she chose to get the surgery before she was done having kids.
“I always was the person that said once I’m done having kids, I would like to get a breast augmentation,” she shared. “That was always my plan. I didn’t always know I was gonna do it now.”
She went on to explain that it was definitely “something on my radar” but thought it wasn’t possible to have the surgery until having kids.
“I was like, ‘Will they even do it if I’m gonna have more kids?’ ” Lindsay remembered asking. However, she learned it was “totally okay to do it and then get pregnant again, because we’re not done having kids. We wanna have more.”
“So it kind of got to a point where I was like, ‘Why am I waiting?’ My mom actually was like, ‘Why would you wait?'” she continued.
Although she acknowledged that having more kids could “change the way [her breasts] look,” Lindsay said she was sure she wanted to go through with it.
“Everyone always told me that they definitely just look more natural and more like they don’t stay up and tight and high,” she said. “But to me, I’m like, that’s what I want. So part of me became more drawn to it because I’m like, ‘Okay, they’ll just look more natural if we do have more kids.’ So I always knew I wanted to do it.”
