Every pregnancy is unique — but Kailyn Lowry’s experience looks totally different the fourth time around.

The Teen Mom alum is fast approaching her due date and shared some health updates with fans on the latest episode of her podcast Coffee Convos, which she co-hosts with Lindsie Chrisley. Unlike her previous three pregnancies, this time she’s been labeled “high risk.” She said:
“I have a ‘high risk doctor’ or whatever. The only reason why I’m high risk at this point is because of my weight, and everything seems to be fine.”
She explained further:
“I am at the heaviest weight I’ve ever been — before I got pregnant and then obviously now while I’m pregnant. So that’s been a little hard, but also I haven’t had any real complications. Like, I just haven’t. My glucose is good. All my stuff is good. So I went into the doctor today and I saw a new doctor.”
While everything seemed to check out for the reality star’s fourth pregnancy, her existing health conditions may be what poses a real problem. Lowry elaborated:
“I know that I’m anemic and I’ve known that I’m anemic for years, but he was telling me how he wanted to make sure I was taking my iron and I said, ‘Yeah,’ and he told me that with every pregnancy you lose more blood, which is new to me. Why is this the first time that I’m hearing this with baby No. four at over 37 weeks?”
It would seem these complications are something her doctors should be able to handle, but the issue is that the 28-year-old had been planning to have a home birth. We can see why that might be an attractive option right now — coronavirus is making any trip to the hospital feel a lot scarier — but it doesn’t sound like a home delivery is the best option for the television personality. She continued:
“This is now the third doctor that’s giving me a different reason for why I should be induced instead of home birth. And then on top of it said, ‘Because you’re anemic, because you lose more blood with every baby, we wouldn’t want to see you get a blood transfusion.'”

Lowry is currently expecting her second child with ex Chris Lopez (the former couple share son Lux, 2). She is also mother to Isaac, 10, with ex Jo Rivera, and Lincoln, 6, with ex-husband Javi Marroquin. Lopez’s name was recently embroiled in drama Lowry stirred up with co-star Briana de Jesus, who had some choice words for her former cast mate:
“You’re a soon to be Mom of four. Isn’t it time to be a role model at all? Anyways, good luck with your baby being born. I hope he’s beautiful and you have a safe delivery. And while you’re delivering, please don’t worry about conversations with Chris I’m not having and have never had. Take care, now, Kail… until the next dramatic thing I’m sure I’ll have to address soon.”
Yikes! Here’s hoping the last days of Kailyn’s pregnancy are drama-free!
