Terra Jole and boyfriend Joe Gnoffo appeared on Wednesday's new episode of The Doctors.

Terra Jole Puts Her Baby Bump On Display

On the show, the Little Women: LA couple opened up about Jole's pregnancy and their decision to pass on genetic testing for their fetus.

“We decided we’re going to be happy no matter what,” Gnoffo explained of his and Jole's decision.

On the first episode of the second season of Lifetime's Little Women: LA, Jole revealed she was expecting a child with Gnoffo to her close friend and co-star, Elena Gant. Episodes later, she surprised the rest of the cast with their exciting baby news.

According to OB-GYN Dr. Jennifer Ashton, Jole and Gnoffo have dominant genes for different types of dwarfism, which means there is a 25 percent chance that their baby will develop a fatal condition. However, at the same time, there is also a 50 percent chance the child will only inherit one of their genes. If that is the case, the child will be a little person as they are. If not, the child will be average-sized.

“To me, I’d rather not be stressed at all,” Jole added of the decision. “There’s a 75 percent chance that there’s a healthy baby living inside of me, and so I would rather think positive and have the best pregnancy I could ever imagine.”
