As anyone who's studied history knows, birth rates tend to spike during and after national crises. It won't be surprising if the birthrate spikes nine months after Coronavirus spread across the world, as more and more couples have "lockdown babies."
Are Teen Mom stars Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer having their own?
Chelsea Houska has not been subtle about wanting another child. In fact, fans are pretty much expecting a pregnancy reveal any day now, as she seems to want all of her kids to be around the same age.
But it seems that the pandemic may have hurried things along. Check out why fans are convinced that Chelsea is hiding a baby bump!
Despite the lockdown, Chelsea has been very active on social media as she and her husband Cole fix up their new house. But she's also cashing in on brand partnerships while Teen Mom 2 is off the air, and this recent post caught the eyes of many.
Chelsea posted this giveaway of a camera and shared a picture of her with the product. Within a day fans were buzzing!
The camera seems to be perfectly placed to cover her belly, which has led some to believe she's covering up a baby bump to keep her news a secret for now!
Of course, there were also detractors.
"So she is wearing a sweater and holding her baby? And that means she’s pregnant?" wrote user mynameisjudygarland on reddit. "I don’t see any 'bump' and this would be so annoying being in the public eye," wrote curatedcheese.

Chelsea Houska Shows Off New Tattoo
At the beginning of the week, fans were angry at Chelsea Houska for not making a statement about the protests that took place over the weekend. Well, she spoke out on the Black Lives Matter movement, and now she's showing off some new ink!
The Teen Mom 2 star has a few small tattoos, which is not much compared to her other co-stars with full sleeves, but this new tattoo looks like it could be the start of something new!
Over the weekend, fans were waiting for a statement from their favorite Teen Mom, but all they got was a post about a blazer.
“Aaaaaand I am now a believer that everyone needs a gold blazer because I’m OBSESSED. Try on haul in my stories in 15!” she posted on Instagram. “Snag this beaut and lots of other goodies!”
On a normal day, people wouldn’t have thought twice about this post. Chelsea is constantly promoting clothing lines, a girl’s gotta hustle and we respect that. But this wasn’t a normal day, and fans were upset that she was treating it as such.
“USE YOUR PLATFORM FOR GOOD,” one commenter wrote. “The fact that you are staying silent says ALOT.”
“Your privilege is showing,” commented another.
The comments continued from many different accounts, but it seems Chelsea got the message.
“My heart is absolutely broken for George Floyd and his family,” she wrote in her Instagram story. “We need to do better.”
Maybe it’s too little too late, or maybe Chelsea isn’t the activist her fans were hoping she’d become. Either way, the Teen Mom star has checked her privilege, at least somewhat. She shared a message on her Instagram story on Monday morning.
I’m laying here in bed, thinking about my sleeping children. And my heart aches. I will never know what it’s like to be worried about them, solely because of the color of their skin. I may never experience what you are going through but I see you, I understand you. I want to do better, raise my children to be better..and make a difference.
I’m not the best with words, and I’ve overthought what to say and not say. But this morning I am just so overcome with sadness. I hope we can all come together and be better.
Chelsea then participated in Blackout Tuesday, further showing fans that she was wrong for remaining silent. And now, Chelsea is showing off her newest tattoo!
In an Instagram Story, Chelsea showed off a giant sunflower on her forearm. The black and white flower sits right above her elbow, and it’s pretty hard to miss.
She was showing off clothes for her followers and didn’t mention the tattoo at all, even though that was all we could see.
Do you have any ideas about what it could mean?
