Married at first sight couple Jamie Otis and husband Doug Hehner expecting babies #3 And Number 4.
The duo initially revealed late last month that their third baby was on the way, but Otis, 37, has since revealed she is pregnant with twins.
“I’ve always wanted to be a twin mom,” she said People on Monday, March 4. “My sister and brother are twins, but my mom said it would skip my generation and go to my kids, so I never expected to have twins!”
Otis went on to say that she and Hehner, 40, are “over the moon” for two more babies, but also “a little bit scared.”
Otis and Hehner also uploaded a vlog on Monday sharing the moment they found out they were having twins.
In the video, Otis headed to an ultrasound without her husband. The sonographer said there was “possibly” two babies.
“I don’t even believe it. I’m terrified though,” Otis admitted in the clip. “I’m terrified that a shoe will drop. I feel like I’m going to try because this is literally – twins have been a dream of mine.
Otis and Hehner met right before they got married during the first season of Married at first sight. The couple have been open about their fertility issues since tying the knot. Although they are already parents to two children, Henley, 6, and Hendrix, 3, Otis and Hehner have been open about their attempt to have a third.
Otis has experienced three miscarriages over the years, the first in July 2016, just over a year before Henley’s birth in August 2017. Her second pregnancy loss occurred in September 2018. Hendrix was born over a year later, in May 2020.
After “more than three years” of trying for another pregnancy, Otis announced on February 20 that she and Hehner are expecting.
“I AM FINALLY PREGNANT!!!🙏🤰🥳 I want to shout it from the rooftops!!! I can’t thank you enough for praying for us! GOD IS GOOD!!! 🙏✨,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I have been diagnosed with secondary infertility, a blocked fallopian tube, MTHFR, hypothyroidism, ‘low-normal’ AMH, advanced maternal age, and I’m probably missing something else that was thrown at us…BUT GOD WILL WORK MIRACLES IF YOU BELIEVE! 🙏✨🤰👶.”
She continued, “THANK YOU GOD FOR THE GREATEST BLESSING WE HAVE HAD SINCE OUR LAST TWO EARTH BABIES!🙏🤰👶✨.”
Otis ended her Instagram caption with words of wisdom for women hoping to become mothers.
“I’m still a little bit in shock that we NATURALLY got pregnant,” she said. “If you have been diagnosed with infertility or secondary infertility, my heart BREAKS for you. It’s the worst news… but don’t lose hope.’
