Kailyn Lowry, 28, is now in her third trimester ā meaning sheās advancing very close to delivering baby No. 4! With the due date so near, the Teen Mom 2 star shared her concerns over her fetus still being breech (as in a bottom or feet-first position) inside her womb. Ideally, a baby is delivered head-first. She voiced these worries in a May 7 Instagram post, which showed the expecting mother cradling her growing bun in the oven.
āBaby Boy & I are coming up on 29 weeks & so thankful to be in our third trimester! [praise hands emoji] He still doesnāt have a name, but this is the chaos, itās how we do things,ā the expecting mother captioned the photo. She added, āHe is currently breech, so hopefully he decides to turn soon, because weāre running out of room!ā Kailyn shared even more details about her fourth pregnancy, which she admitted has been the ātoughestā emotionally.
āHeās moving a lot more these days and likes to keep me up at night. Physically, this has been a really easy pregnancy, but it is getting a little harder to hold [her 2-year-old son] Lux, no real complaints. Emotionally, this has probably been my toughest pregnancy,ā Kailyn confessed in the post. In the meantime, Kailyn informed fans that sheās āplanning and decoratingā her fourth sonās nursery, and asked her followers if they believe her baby will āturn in time or stay breech.ā
Since Kailyn is still 29 weeks along, her baby has a few more weeks to turn! Itās āpreferableā to turn a breech baby between the ā32nd and 37th weeks of pregnancy,ā according to the American Pregnancy Association. However, most breech babies are still āborn healthy,ā although āthere is a slightly elevated risk for certain problemsā like cord prolapse, according to the association.
This has been a unique pregnancy for Kailyn! On March 31, the reality television star also revealed that her new doctor was āpushing for induction,ā something she had never done while delivering her other sons Lux, 2, Lincoln, 6, and Isaac, 10. Kailyn has not yet officially revealed the identity of baby No. 4ās father, but many fans believe he is her ex and Luxās dad, Chris Lopez, after he posted a letter to his āunborn childā in February.
