OK magazine cover story caliming Teen Mom Leah Messer has suffered a miscarriage

According to the cover story in the latest issue of OK! magazine, Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer has suffered a miscarriage. An “insider close to the reality star” reveals to the tabloid, “She was having bad cramps for the past two weeks, and then she miscarried.”

Leah Messer’s fiance (and father-to-be) Jeremy Calvert reportedly spoke with OK!, saying, “It’s a devastating experience, but all I can do is support Leah and take things day by day.” He then adds, “It’s hard, but we will get through it.”

Leah had posted some comments online about feeling sad and depressed, which had some people worried that she may be experiencing difficulties with her pregnancy, but she tweeted an explanation on Thursday:

I know everyone has been hearing I’m sad, and depressed lately. My grandma is in the hospital and on life support.

Please pray for her, it’s been rough!

Normally I might be dismissive of OK! running with this kind of “insider close to Leah” story, but the quote from Jeremy and silence on the part of our own sources close to Leah have us thinking this one is true. If so, our heart goes out to Jeremy and Leah – especially Leah, who has been through so much already with her emotional split from Corey and Ali’s medical issues.

UPDATE - Leah tweeted on January 18 “In the arms of the angels.❤” and the day before she shared the song “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan:

Because of the sensitive nature of this article, and the personal attacks other commenters were making towards each other, we have decided to close comments on this article.

  I agree.

Like others have said it is for the best. It’s not an easy spot to be in as I miscarried before I had my son. But, she is SO young and didn’t need a 3rd baby nor should she be rushing into getting married again but that’s another story.

I have seen Leah’s Mother on twitter complaining about the comments on here. She needs to learn that people have opinions and they don’t always agree with hers. Leah chooses to put herself in the public eye and stories are written about her. If you don’t like what people say…don’t read it.

Since the magazine has a flat out lie right next to it on the cover (about J.Lo and Marc who both are still with other people) I’m finding this hard to believe. And if it’s “true” I’m seriously doubting she was ever pregnant to begin with.
- Not true
  
  I ABSOULOTLEY agree with everyone who said Leah NEVER even confirmed the 3rd pregnancy and even if she did this whole miscarriage thing is such an easy way out of her little publicity stunt , magazine stories for a paycheck . I think this was planned out and for money just like her 2nd wedding will be a day of love and a nice fat paycheck
yes

I agree. She’s only been with this guy less than a year. I thought the baby/babies weren’t well timed. Hopefully, this will bring many positives and hopefully, they can learn and plan better for the future.

It is sad that OK made this cover. Miscarriage is such a hard, emotional and personal thing…..to have it as front cover news….that would be really tough. I’m so sorry for her.

As terrible as this sounds I really wonder if she was in fact pregnant. Her losing the baby is an easy way out if she claimed pregnancy and it of been false.

It is never okay to say in response to a miscarriage that “it’s probably for the best” or “think about the positives.” Take that bullshit somewhere else please.

  I am in therapy. And I am not uptight at all. Even my therapist finds it disgusting when I tell her that people have told me “it’s for the best.” There’s a difference in the person who is actually going through it finding some blessings and positives from a situation, and someone telling the person that it was for the best. It is highly inappropriate. The only thing others should be telling those who suffered a miscarriage is, “I am sorry for your loss. If there’s anything that I can do to help, let me know.”
Roxanne

If you’ve been in this position too, you would know that it is absolutely inappropriate to ever say something like this is for the best, even if you might think it. Be more sensitive. I understand that you don’t intend to sound offensive, but you do sound offensive.

  People need to understand that something can be “for the best” and also painful. No one is saying she isn’t hurting or sad but this was for the best in the long run for her and the 2 children she already has.
Roxanne

All of you saying things like “it’s for the best” and things along those lines, this is not the place to say that. It is never appropriate to say that in response to a miscarriage. Never. Even if you’ve experienced it yourself – that just means you should know better than to say such things. Keep those particular comments to yourself. A miscarriage is a death. You wouldn’t say that to someone whose child died after birth. Consider it the same thing here, no matter your religion or beliefs about when life starts.

Does anyone know etiquette and proper human decency anymore?
My condolences to Leah (if this is true).

  It’s for the best.

    As one who has endured the devastation of a miscarriage, your repeating of “it’s for the best” shows your immaturity and insensitivity. Miscarriage is the death of a child. And you are saying “it’s for the best?” I can tell you’ve never had a child, or a miscarriage.

    Maybe its just me, but it seems like she was replying to Kayla not you. I think she was claiming that Kayla never had a child…but maybe thats just my opinion on it.

Loosing your child is never ‘for the best’ you can say that maybe everything happens for a reason but cannot say loosing a child is for the best! I was pretty dissapointed in Leah when I read she was pregnant and engaged again so quickly seeings how she’s supposed to be a role model for young girls, however my heart really goes out to her if this story is true!!
Leena Ellieea

I am so devastated for poor Leah. I was happy to know that she was going to be a mommy again, and that Ali and Aleeah were going to be big sisters. I really love Leah. She is an excellent mommy and her story moves me to tears. I hope that she will be alright. I know how she feels I am twenty one and have had two miscarriages since I was nineteen. Praying for you LeahDawn♥

Everything happens for a reason – not necessarily “for the best”, but better things will come out of it in the future. Corey said plain as day he and she jumped into things too fast; maybe this is just God’s way of saying, take it easy cowgirl. Condolances to the family, but this experience will just make Leah stronger – and maybe, push her to get her education in order and enjoy the blessings she has before leaping into another kid.

Also, when I had heard she’d conceived while on mirena, I had a feeling this would happen. The birth control was still working to make sure a pregnancy didn’t occur, and since it wasn’t removed until after the fact…well, it’s no surprise, really. Of course, it’s hard and it sucks, but it’ll get better.

  this was one of the reasons why i ever wondered if she really was pregnant. it’s close to impossible to get pregnant on Mirena. it’s more effective than birth control pills. i’d love to hear her try to explain how it happened.

I don’t think the general public will ever know the truth. I have wondered if it was a publicity stunt as well. Everyone knows magazines do pay for those types of stories. I’m sorry to say, a miscarriage after all that pregnancy news seems a little convenient.

Leah doesn’t need to try for another baby. She can’t work for MTV forever and will be lucky to get two or three more years, if that, out of her fame.

I don’t know about this Jeremy guy. He seems to be talking to the media way too much. Big red flags!

I’m 11 weeks pregnant myself and my husband and I haven’t told anyone yet, including family. It’s best to wait until at least 12-13 weeks because the rate of miscarriage can be so high.

Anyone notice how similar this is to what happened to Amy such a very short time ago? I hope they didn’t put out a false story when their friend is going through a difficult time. Guess if it isn’t false, they can have each other to lean on.

Leah and her family love attention with all the FB pages and Twitter accounts! So, they should really get used to the public having an opinion on what they do. If you don’t want the public’s opinion, keep it to yourself!
Dee

Many pregnancies when on Mirena end in miscarriage and… If she was severely cramping (some cramping is normal, severe is not) for two weeks before the miscarriage and had the miscarriage on or around January 18th, they told/put out that story knowing the pregnancy was in danger and before the end of the first trimester. WHY?
B

Everything does NOT happen for reason. Saying this in regards to a dead child is just ignorant and awful. I hope to god you never have to suffer the pain of a losing an infant or child.
