Kailyn Lowry, 28, is now in her third trimester ā€” meaning sheā€™s 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.

ā€œBaby Boy & I are coming up on 29 weeks & so thankful to be in our third trimester! [praise hands emoji] He still doesnā€™t have a name, but this is the chaos, itā€™s how we do things,ā€ the expecting mother captioned the photo. She added, ā€œHe is currently breech, so hopefully he decides to turn soon, because weā€™re running out of room!ā€ Kailyn shared even more details about her fourth pregnancy, which she admitted has been the ā€œtoughestā€ emotionally.

ā€œHeā€™s 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 sheā€™s ā€œplanning and decoratingā€ her fourth sonā€™s nursery, and asked her followers if they believe her baby will ā€œturn in time or stay breech.ā€

Since Kailyn is still 29 weeks along, her baby has a few more weeks to turn! Itā€™s ā€œpreferableā€ to turn a breech baby between the ā€œ32nd and 37th weeks of pregnancy,ā€ according to the American Pregnancy Association. However, most breech babies are still ā€œborn healthy,ā€ although ā€œthere 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 ā€œpushing 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. 4ā€™s father, but many fans believe he is her ex and Luxā€™s dad, Chris Lopez, after he posted a letter to his ā€œunborn childā€ in February.
