With Amy’s first pregnancy, she was just a few months post-op from her gastric bypass surgery. She was beginning to lose weight, but her progress stalled a bit with her pregnancy. She eventually went on to lose over 100 pounds and even continues to drop weight during her second pregnancy.

Another fan asked, “Do you have a name?” In response, Amy said, “Yes. But everyone will find out soon.”

Amy has shared this will be her last baby. She cited the multiple health complications, including high blood pressure, as reasons for not having more children. She also wants to continue focusing on her weight loss goals.

When previously speaking about her health this second time around, Amy shared that she was still losing weight while pregnant. She talked about trying to keep a balanced diet despite her cravings.

Amy has said she has always wanted to be a mom and is excited that her boys will be close in age. It is important that they have a tight relationship like she has with her sister, Tammy.

After giving birth, Amy hopes to keep shedding pounds to reach her goal weight and eventually have plastic surgery to remove her excess skin.
