Chelsea Houska's third pregnancy is flying by, and we might get to meet her little one earlier than we thought! Now she's giving a major update about her pregnancy.
Even though we never know which Teen Mom star is going to announce a pregnancy next, it’s pretty safe to bet who’ll be the next to give birth. Even though some of her co-stars are pregnant, Chelsea Houska’s pregnancy is the farthest along.
Keep reading to watch a deleted scene from Teen Mom 2!
When Chelsea Houska announced that she was pregnant with her third child, fans were beside themselves with excitement — but they weren’t exactly surprised. After all, ever since she got together with her now-husband Cole DeBoer, Chelsea has been very vocal about wanting to have a large family and many children.
Chelsea has been updating fans about her pregnancy every step of the way, from ultrasound pictures to labor pains. There’s just one thing that she refuses to share: the name that she and Cole have decided to give their daughter. Of course, that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating.
“Did you guys pick a unique name for little girl DeBoer like you did for Watson?” a fan asked Chelsea on Twitter, referencing Chelsea and Cole’s one-year-old son.
“I don’t think it’s really ‘unique’!” Chelsea replied. She then dropped a huge hint, revealing that the name is unisex!
“I’ve definitely seen/heard it before on boys and girls!” she wrote. She added, “We just like the name.”
Fans wrote in with a number of guesses, including Avery and Blair. In the meantime, Chelsea has been shooting down false rumors about her name selection. After a Teen Mom gossip website reported that Chelsea would be naming her daughter “Penelope Grace,” claiming that Chelsea was using her own middle name as inspiration, Chelsea tweeted, “Lol!... [Definitely] not the real name and also not my middle name! I don’t know why people do that hahaha.”
Recently, there was another rumor going around about Chelsea’s name selection. “Chelsea is naming her new baby Willow,” speculated reddit user countlesscourt. They shared a picture of Chelsea cooking up a batch of chocolate covered rice krispies treats, which she captioned, “Making @TM.PI and Baby Willow a treat.”
Fans were quick to approve. “Tbh I love nature names, willow, violet, fern, olive, etc. I think they’re classic yet unique,” wrote user stubsforscience. User PrincessLush agreed, “That’s my best friend’s name so I’m biased, but I think it’s really cute.” But others weren’t buying it.
“I didn’t figure she’s name this baby anything with a W as that would leave Aubree out,” wrote CertainlyNoPatience.
User sharkmama0220 agreed, “She said on Kail’s podcast she hates when people name their kids all the same letters or names that go all together, so I doubt she would be using another W name.” User jenlovesmaddie wrote, “I doubt she is going to reveal before the birth.” Soon, fans took it directly to the source for clarification.
“Did I catch baby Willow?!!” asked Twitter user @b*tchinXbriit18. Chelsea responded, “My friend just had a baby, named Willow. And we are going to meet her today.”
Turns out Chelsea is sticking to her guns about not revealing her baby’s name. But this isn’t the first time fans have thought she let her name choice slip!
Chelsea recently did a mini question and answer session with all of her fans who want to get to know her better. During the session, we got some major hints about what she’s going to name her daughter!
One fan asked, “Is your baby girl’s name gonna have an -ee name like Aubree?” Chelsea replied, “Nope!”
Another fan asked her, “Do you have any names picked out for your baby girl yet?” Chelsea replied: “i think so, but that’s one thing we like to keep till they are born!”
Luckily, Chelsea dropped a MAJOR hint about potential names. A fan asked her, “If Aubree hadn’t been named Aubree, what would you have named her?” Chelsea replied, “I was JUST telling Aubree the other day the names I considered for her haha. I think it was Payton and Brynn.” This has many fans thinking one of these names could be what Chelsea decided on!
There’s good news for fans who can’t wait to find out what Chelsea settled on: they don’t have much longer to wait. After all, Chelsea recently gave an update about going into labor!
Although we’re only in the last week of July, it seems that Chelsea may end up going into labor soon. She’s recently shared that she’s had multiple labor scares as early as July 16!
“Any updates on the pregnancy?” wrote fan @OfficiallyNio on Twitter on July 16. Chelsea responded, “I’m 32 weeks tomorrow! Had a few preterm labor scares, but the last few weeks everything has been okay! So just trying to get prepared now...can’t wait to meet her!”
Now, Chelsea has shared another update about her daughter’s arrival.
“Apparently my ‘over it’ stage of pregnancy hits at 33 weeks 5 days because ... #notmuchlonger,” she wrote.
She revealed that the past few days haven’t been a walk in the park for her. The other day I drove off with my phone on the hood of my car.....two days later, I threw it away in a garbage bag and then into a dumpster [daughter] Aubree says it’s gonna end up in the toilet next,” she wrote, adding, “#pregnancybrain #losingmymind.”
Chelsea shared that she’s not quite in labor yet. “I’m not lol I don’t know why people are asking me this! Currently on my way to take the kiddos swimming,” she revealed.
In the meantime, there are other reasons that Chelsea has been under pressure with this pregnancy, and it has to do with her recent weight loss.
Fans have noticed a pretty significant change about Chelsea since she had her second child, Watson. After her delivery, she shed her baby weight and then some, and lately, she’s been showing off a toned and fit body. She also recently shared with fans how she did it: by sticking to a low-carb diet.
“How did @ChelseaHouska lose her baby weight? Need tips!” wrote one of her fans on Twitter. Chelsea shot back quickly, “Low carb.”
“She also does Crossfit, working out and lifting,” another fan chimed in according to OK Magazine. But busy mom Chelsea pointed out, “I wish I still did CrossFit ? I haven’t been to a gym since I was pregnant haha.”
But now, fans are concerned that there may be more about this diet that sucks.
“Does anyone know if Chelsea was doing the keto diet during her latest pregnancy?” pondered user bellalett on reddit. “I was curious because I've read that pregnant women shouldn't be on that diet.”
“When they’ve tested the keto diet on pregnant mice they were born with enlarged hearts and smaller than normal heads,” pointed out awolfsvalentine, even linking to the study itself. They added, “Organ growth and development was affected enough to cause organ dysfunction which can lead to potential failure.” User Thekodamama agreed, “Unless you know what you’re doing and you’ve had a conversation with your doctor about it, it’s not something someone should just do to keep the baby fat down. I don’t doubt she’s being cautious though, she doesn’t seem to be the type to do it without being sure.”
But Chelsea hasn’t even confirmed that she’s doing keto, just that she’s not eating many carbs. And many argued that her diet was perfectly safe.
“A ketogenic diet is also very similar to the gestational diabetes diet. It’s perfectly safe and even optimal to cut out refined carbs,” pointed out teainjuly. User Apocalypticpplparty chimed in, “Some people consider keto diet has only meat fruits and veggies... She could very well be getting enough nutritional value.”
This isn’t the first time that Chelsea’s diet has come under scrutiny. Many fans have even expressed concern that she may have developed an eating disorder!
In the meantime, could Chelsea soon be joined in pregnancy by another Teen Mom star? Many are convinced that Kailyn Lowry could be expecting her fourth child!
“Promos,” Kailyn captioned this shot of her treating herself to an ice cream cone on Snapchat. It wasn’t long before fans began to discuss the possibility of another Lowry baby.
“Is Kailyn pregnant?” wrote user Toby924 on reddit. “What an unflattering photo...idk is hard to tell!” wrote Kiwixo92.
Although it’s possible that Kailyn could be expecting, more fans believe this is just the case of a poor fashion choice.
“Unflattering top males her big boobs become big belly,” wrote Starbug82. User ladymalady chimed in, “I think she just doesn't dress in a flattering way.”
Many also pointed out that Kailyn has recently revealed she likely won’t have a fourth child.
“Do you want more kids?” a fan asked her while Kailyn was doing a question and answer session on Snapchat. She replied, “Want? Yes. But in reality? I most likely won’t have more. It’s just not realistic for me.”
