The Dancing with the Stars alum, 31, appeared on an episode of The Squeeze podcast and was asked about her recent breast augmentation surgery in January. Arnold, who shares her two daughters Sage Jill, 4, and June, 2, with husband Samuel Cusick, explained that she always knew she wanted to get the surgery.
"I always was the person that said once I'm done having kids, I would like to get a breast augmentation," Arnold 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 after you have kids.
"I was like, 'Will they even do it if I'm gonna have more kids?' " Arnold 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," Arnold 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," Arnold 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."
Now, the mom of two said she's very happy with her decision. "Would recommend to anybody who wants to do it," said Arnold.
"I have no regrets," she continued. "And it's just been a really fun thing for me. And it was actually really cool to see the support of people just being like, 'You go girl. Do what you want with your body.'"
"At the end of the day, it's my body and that's what I wanted to do. Amen."
