The current most-popular story, on both E! and US Magazine, is this bra and sweatpants Instagram self portrait from Teen Mom 2’s Jenelle Evans, confirming her second pregnancy. Jenelle, 21, is about seven weeks along. Jenelle’s husband of six weeks first made the announcement to Star Magazine, which many people were skeptical of. Unfortunately it’s true, and she’s tweeted sonograms as well. (Who gets a sonogram that early? The OB-GYN wouldn’t even give me an exam until I was 12 weeks along.) This photo would be amusing as a pregnancy announcement even if the subject weren’t a pseudo-famous trainwreck. Look at what a mess her bathroom is, and how she didn’t even bother putting her products off to the side before she took this picture. It didn’t even occur to her to clean up before she took this photo, and she has nearly 600,000 followers on Twitter.
Jenelle started dating her current husband, a convicted felon, in September, and she’s been off heroin allegedly for a whole two months. She’s been arrested multiple times on various charges including breaking and entering, drug possession, assault, harassment and probation violations. Jenelle has been on and off with various boyfriends, including her husband, with whom she broke up and got back together with in the last month, all chronicled on Twitter. Jenelle of course has another child, Jace, 3, who is thankfully under her mother’s care. Jenelle believes that if she’s able to have another baby and stay sober long enough to raise the poor child that she’ll earn back custody of Jace. It’s such an awful plan that affects a couple of innocent kids, but luckily the world is watching and this person will be under much more scrutiny that she otherwise would.
This begs the question: if Jenelle weren’t infamous, would she even get pregnant again this early? Look at how much fame and attention she’s getting from this.
I don’t want to have think about this much longer, but I do want to share this gem from Star Magazine, about how Jenelle and her husband, Courtland Rogers, found out she was pregnant. They insist they didn’t have a shotgun wedding, but the way they found out is priceless.
Courtland has insisted that neither of them knew about her condition when they married in a North Carolina courthouse on Dec 4, 201… Courtland claims that they learned about Jenelle’s condition much more recently, after “she went to her psychiatrist to get on a new medicine for her bipolar problem.” While examining Jenelle, the doctor suggested she take a pregnancy test; when it came out positive, she texted Courtland a picture. He says “I thought it was a drug test, and I freaked out.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, January 28, 2012]
That paragraph kind of speaks for itself, doesn’t it? In that article, Courtland goes on to insist that Jenelle has been sober since she found out she was pregnant, and that she even went off her bipolar medication. Oh joy.
Who even cares about the clutter, having a clean bathroom wouldn’t make me like her more and her taking a messy pic is the absolute 0 of issues in this photo.
I’m more disappointed I live in a society that rewards this type of gutter trash. Good luck to the unborn kid as always.
THIS ^
Surely I can’t be the only one that was more interested in what was on her bathroom shelves than her?
I totally expected to see a sex toy or a big ol’ jar of anal lube. Not that there’s anything wrong with that ^^
^This!
I completely agree 100%. The largest issue here is her abnormal looking pupils in the closeup pictures. I sincerely hope they weren’t taken within the last 6 weeks because then that poor baby is in even MORE trouble than they already had. 🙁
Oh man this is a nightmare. The girl is bi=polar, has a drug history, and went off her meds? Before it was kind of ha-ha stupid girl, but this girl is making no sort of headway into getting her life together by getting married so soon, and going off her meds, and getting pregnant. And no one can do anything for her. That poor baby.
And her bathroom isn’t a disaster. Its the broken door in the back that’s really an issue.
Yes! I noticed the door too!
at least this fetus knows it has locked down a space on Teen Mom 17 in 2029….
I’m ignoring the whole story because it infuriates me, but to answer your question, early sonograms are pretty commonplace now. I had my first at 8wks.
I had my first one at 6 weeks, but that was an internal scan.
Guess she thought it was coke bloat? How could you miss that bump and no cycles (I’m assuming)
Pregnancy for fame and cash.
I’m old enough to remember when women got pregnant because they wanted a baby, not attention.
MTV is planning for the future. Their new series will be called “I Was Raised by a Teen Mom”.
Ugh…. I just can’t even deal with these idiots. I remember her having some sort of reason for rushing the wedding…was she actively trying to get knocked up?
It’s times like this that I’m glad I’m a 22 year old who’s terrified of having children.
I’m actually surprised her bathroom is as clean as it is….
Same!
The door is unhinged, and so is the woman standing in front of it! How appropriate. I feel for that poor kid.
ewwww! I just noticed that! how nasty. it’s like a strip club where the stalls can’t have doors so management can make sure the girls aren’t doing lines off the toilet seat….
I notes that also and I don’t even what to know what caused that to happen.
She should have tried to work on getting shared custody of her first child before having another.
Her face looks like Miley Cyrus in the last picture.
It really does, doesn’t it?
I was trying to work out whether that was Miley or Noah Cyrus…oh, it’s this trick.
This is what’s wrong with the world. One of my closest friends is desperately trying to conceive, and is about to go through in-vitro. But trash like this is able to have a baby. I feel very sorry for that child, what kind of life will he/she have with a parent like this.
Right on! I know it sounds cruel, but seriously its like the lowest of the low can reproduce like rats whereas the decent and developed people take their time and wait to have a family, sometimes only to find out they are unable to. WTF!
That is soooo frustrating and upsetting -I really, really feel for your friend:(
Has anyone ever seen the movie Idiocracy? If fools like this continue to procreate ‘like rats’ (thanks, TeeHee!) we could be looking at that sort of society in a few hundred years…
A few hundred years? Our society is like that NOW, at least where I live. Very sad.
You should suggest to your friend to instead spend her in vitro money on crack, alcohol and heroin- she’d be pregnant in no time! 😉
My first ultrasound was at 6 weeks but it was only because it was a suspected ectopic pregnancy.
As for the rest of the article… I am so sad for that unborn child and Jace.
Can’t some state agency step in before this child is born. This whole family is just a package of addiction, desperation, hostility, depression, neglect, mental illness and abuse. These children are doomed to repeat all of the above if not given the correct help. Having babies for money and fame is disgusting.
I just find it hilarious that she is taking a “baby bump” picture when she is 6 weeks along. The baby is the size of an apple seed at that point. A lot of people don’t even know that are pregnant until you are about that far along. Especially if you are not specifically planning.
I get the heebie jeebies when anyone announces a pregnany so early. Especially, so publicly. Good luck to them though. For the sake of that baby, I truly hope they are sober and she stays on her meds.
Maybe that’s why she got pregnant she need more money for drugs ( thier not cheap ) and saw who much attention the other girls were getting selling the stories for thier second pregnancy and wanted a piece of the action.
That’s a food baby. No matter how skinny you are, 7 weeks is too early to be showing. I am 8 and a half weeks and not showing at all.
You guys need to look a her twitter where legions of morons tell her how amazing she is an how people can’t judge her! No but the court system has, repeatedly.
I just looked and it appears to be mostly teen girls telling her she is a great mom and to ignore the haters. You wonder if they actually believe this or just want a retweet for 5 minutes of Twitter fame!
She really looks like Miley Cyrus in those last photos. Lets hope she take better care of this one than Jace…prob not, her mom will be doing it all again. Having a scan that early is normal these days. I had one at 5 weeks with my third…mainly to check dates and make sure it is a viable pregnancy.
My health care provider does an ultrasound between 6 and 8 weeks, to confirm or establish the EDD. The ultrasound is most accurate for dating purposes at that point.
Babies having babies. Sigh.
Are we surprised by her self portrait? Give me a break. She’s white trash and her boyfriend looks like typical white trash too. I hope her mother is ready to take care of yet another child. Girls like Janelle should be sterilized.
We perpetuate these monsters by paying attention to them. I’ve never watched the show and know next to nothing about her except what I’ve read on this site. I don’t want to come off self-righteous, but we’ve got to draw the line somewhere. This just sickens me. This little tw-t is going to pop out another poor child who will probably be incapable of supporting itself, maybe if we’re lucky it won’t grow up to be a sociopathic monster like its mother.
THAT POOR BABY.
I highly doubt she’s sober, she married a loser and she has shown no desire to REALLY get her life on track and fight for her first child.. yet here she is having another one for “fame”.
Here’s hoping a judge takes him/her from this loser quickly so the kid will stand half a chance.
I love the Clean and Clear for teenage acne in the bathroom. She has more hair products than J Aniston.
Poor baby. What kind of comment is “she’s been sober since she found out?” I mean, the most damage can be done in the earliest stages of pregnancy, so…
And I just really HATE that loving, competent people are unable to have children while trash like this just proliferates. It’s seriously discouraging.
I’m 10 weeks pregnant and my first sonogram was at 8 weeks. It wasn’t taken from my belly though =( Not cool! I didn’t even know they did that.
Doctors give sonograms really early now. They call it a dating scan, then bill the insurance company as if it was medically necessary (it’s not if you know when your last period was). Just a way to grab $$. They do another at 12 weeks to check for downs syndrome if the mom is interested. More $$ from insurance
Not all insurance covers it though. Medicaid does but some private ones only cover the anatomy scan at 20 weeks. So that’s all those patients get.
Not true.
I’m a sonographer in Australia and the early scan is for dating AND viability.
Using your last period date assumes a 28 day cycle, ovulate day 14, conceive day 15, and so on.
The scan is also to confirm intrauterine gestation (or determine ectopic) and determine the amnionicity and chorionicity of multiple pregnancies. It can detect subchorionic haemorrhages that may threaten the pregnancy, amongst other things.
Of course you are under no obligation to have it – your choice – but you underestimate what we look for when doing an early obstetric scan.
The 12 week scan will pick up major abnormalities and can detect early signs of spina bifida. The Downs screening is only part of it, and optional for the parents.
I’ll spare you the horror stories, of which I have many, but I strongly advocate early DIAGNOSTIC ultrasound in pregnancy.
She’s disgusting. I feel pity for her neglected son Jace, her poor mother who will end up raising it, and this unborn baby.
Standard is to have 1st ultrasound a 6-8 weeks, second one at 11-13 weeks.
The first one serves to screen out asymptomatic ectopic pregnancies. I should know, having had two myself that were found by ultrasound.
Looks more like Amy Winehouse’s old smack-constipation + crack & booze bloat belly than a baby bump. At 6 weeks, we had no clue I was preggers, & still was just 100lbs.
