Kerri Walsh Jennings Pregnant: Beach Volleyball Gold Medalist 5-Weeks Along during London Olympics [VIDEO]

Not only did U.S.A beach volleyball star Kerri Walsh Jennings win her third-straight Olympic gold medal at the 2012 Summer London Olympics alongside longtime partner Misty May-Treanor - she did it while five-weeks pregnant. Jennings appeared on Monday's episode of NBC's "Today Show" with hubby Casey Jennings to share the happy news. This will be the couple's third child.

Jennings confines to "Today Show" host Matt Lauer that, "When I was throwing my body around fearlessly and going for gold for our country, yeah, I was pregnant." Watch Jennings share her pregnancy news to fans here:

Jennings is now 11-weeks pregnant and indeed "feeling pregnant" - the baby is due April 9 of next year. While the 34-year-old athlete wasn't positive she was pregnant during the Olympic Games, there were some telltale signs that something was off with her body. Usually happy-go-lucky, Jennings found herself constantly "moody and touchy" - but initially waved such emotions off due to stress because of the competition and excessive travel. But once she discovered that her menstrual cycle was off, that's when she knew something was happening.

Apparently her beach volleyball partner May-Treanor had told Jennings she was probably pregnant - looks like her intuition was right.

Husband Casey had joked that Jennings seems to get a child for every gold medal she wins. So does that mean they can be expecting again in 2016? Supposedly Jennings would like to return to the Olympic Games in Rio in four years, while Mae-Treanor announced that the London Games would be her last.

According to NBC's chief medical editor Dr. Nancy Snyderman, Jennings did not impose any harm on her future baby by continuing to take part in the 2012 Olympics: "The risk that she put to herself and fetus was zero to none. Five weeks into a pregnancy, fetuses are tiny, well protected and "very, very, very hearty.The embryo is microscopic. It's just implanted in the lining of the uterus. It would take an act of God to dislodge it, not a bump on the tummy, not a dive."

An Olympic gold and a baby on the way - congrats to Jennings and her family!
