As a mom of 7 kids, Kailyn Lowry knows quite a lot about pregnancy and kids. The Teen Mom star had six pregnancies. And she recently gave birth to twins.

After the appointment, the “tech came in” but said nothing. And when Kailyn asked if “there” was a “heartbeat,” the tech said, “No.” Scott then said that Kailyn “cried all weekend.”
The Teen Mom had also recalled the incident, saying she felt like “cut(ting) her tubes out.” Kailyn described the incident as a “rollercoaster.” They were “unexpectedly” pregnant.
