In “Pregnant Done 😯! Amy Drop New Baby News To Crisis Marek! it will surprise,” Amy Roloff shares deeply personal insights into her struggles with pregnancy during an Instagram live session with her friend Lisa Dixon.
The Little People Big World matriarch opens up about her challenges in becoming a parent, revealing details about her past illness as a child and how it might have affected her infertility, a topic she hadn’t previously discussed publicly.
Amy reflects on her irregular menstrual cycles, which complicated conceiving with her then-husband Matt Roloff.
Despite this, Amy and Matt, who share four children, spent Mother’s Day together with their kids Molly, Jacob, Jeremy, and Zach.
Amy underwent fertility treatment, leading to the possibility of having multiple children simultaneously, which worried her due to her stature.
She eventually gave birth to twins, Jeremy and Zach, expressing her initial fears about carrying and delivering multiple babies as a little person. Following the twins’ birth via C-section, Amy felt alone after she and Matt had recently moved to Oregon, with Matt having to work, leaving her to handle the newborns by herself.
During this candid discussion, Amy subtly criticized her ex-husband, indicating that handling two newborns alone was challenging, hinting at feelings of isolation. This follows past instances where Amy had expressed grievances about Matt’s behavior, including her accusations of infidelity before their separation, implying that emotional involvement with someone else affected their marriage.
Amy also indirectly referred to Karen Chandler, who worked on the Roloff homestead before dating Matt, suggesting a deeper connection that might have impacted their relationship. Amy later married Chris Marek in August 2021, while just a short time before that, Matt and Chandler prepared for their engagement.
