The gold medal-winning Olympian welcomed her first baby, Molly, with husband Tom Mairs in March this year.
Sam, who was recently cast as a team captain on BBC's sports quiz show Question of Sport, also discussed her baby news with OK! in a new interview, saying: "We were shocked but we're so excited!
"But because of previous experiences, I never like to get too excited until we’ve had our 12-week scan."

The couple has previously opened up about experiencing a miscarriage shortly before Sam fell pregnant with Molly, and Sam has discussed having a traumatic caesarean with daughter Molly too.
In the interview, husband Tom also shared his reaction after Sam told him the good news: "She came home that day and was really quiet, and I was like, 'Are you OK?' and she just pulled out this whole handful of pregnancy tests. It was like a Wolverine claw but with pregnancy tests!"
