‘Teen Mom 3′ star Mackenzie McKee Gives Birth Prematurely

Mackenzie gave her fans 24-hours notice, announcing suddenly on social media that she was getting ready to give birth. HollywoodLife.com later revealed EXCLUSIVELY that Mackenzie, who suffers from Type 1 Diabetes, was forced to have her c-section early after her blood sugar levels continued to drop.

Teen Pregnancy Rate Lowered

No worries for Mackenzie or Jaxie Taylor, though. While 37 weeks is considered slightly premature, it’s very common for babies to be delivered early, according to the CDC.

“I am so thankful for a healthy baby girl,” Mackenzie told InTouch after giving birth.

Mackenzie McKee Gave Birth Prematurely Due To Her Battle With Type 1 Diabetes

As mentioned, Mackenzie suffers from Type 1 Diabetes, which made her pregnancy risky. She constantly has to keep track of her diet and her blood sugar, and she had a bit of a scare the week before she gave birth. The reality star was rushed to the hospital when her blood sugar hit a dangerous low, but thankfully she recovered quickly and didn’t have to go into labor 4 weeks early.

This isn’t the first time Mackenzie has faced a difficult pregnancy — or a c-section — due to her diabetes. Mackenzie also had a rough time while pregnant with her son, Gannon, 2. Her journey was documented on 16 & Pregnant.

What do YOU think HollyMoms? Do you like the name Jaxie Taylor?

Jaxie =Yucky but all i can think of she made up the name with J for Josh and IE for Mckenzie.. bad name … :)

Maybe Jackie, but JAXIE??????? No. Could have used that as a nickname. Second, ENOUGH HAVING KIDS! Can’t keep a man by making babies. If anything, they’ll hate you more. ENOUGH! GROW UP! Men don’t like pressure. Men don’t take to well with responsibility at that age either. YOU ARE THE ONE THAT WILL BE STUCK! They will pay their 75.00 a week and pick them up when THEY WANT, but YOU WILL DO ALL THE WORK! NOT WORTH IT! STOP HAVING BABIES!

I am sorry u feel like that but unlike some people i know Mackenzie and josh and they are the best parents ever. I would do anything to be either jaxie or gannon. Josh is their for Mackenzie though thick and thin!! He supports them and if they want to have another kid that’s their choice its not effecting you in one way or another!!
and for all those people who are saying jaxie is a horrible name think about it its not your choice what they call their baby if they like the name and call it her in memory of a loved one that is what they are going to do! Personally i love the name jaxie. Its original and unique!!
And Alex you were saying that jaxie isn’t a real name yes it is just because you haven’t heard about it doesn’t mean it isn’t a name!!
so i will end with my rant by saying how much i love that family and how amazing parents they have been to their gorgeous children at a very tender age!! I wish them all the best for the future and i cant wait to see you all real soon!!! Xxxxxx

Jaxie? Is that even a real name or did she choose random letters out of a hat? I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t even give that name to a dog.

I’m sorry but JAXIE is an awful name. I pray that I’m saying it wrong “jacks-ee”. You can be original with a name without it being too out there. It’s so bad… I just can’t.

Yay! Congrats you guys! Can’t wait to see lil Jaxie!
