Catelynn Lowell first appeared on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant in 2009 with her boyfriend of three years, Tyler Baltierra. The couple struggled with a bad home life and had just found out that they were expecting their first child together at the young age of 16. What makes Cate and Tyler so brave is that they decided to make the hard decision to give their baby girl up for adoption. A decision that to this day was one of the best ones they ever made for her and themselves.

From getting pregnant as teenagers, to giving their daughter up for adoption, to marriage, the birth of their daughter Nova, mental health issues, a lost pregnancy and now another baby on the way, these two have been through a lot. Most teenagers who find love do not last as long as they would like. Catelynn and Tyler have defied the world's expectations with how long they have been together. Since the age of 12 these two have battled on through more than most people go through in a life time and are still standing strong.

No couple is perfect though, as much as they seem like it. The couple has gone through a lot the last year, and so has their marriage. Tabloids have spread that they are on their way to divorce, and only after three years of marriage. Find out below if what the media has to say is true or not. Here are 20 facts about newly pregnant Catelynn Lowell.

20 Catelynn Is Expecting Baby Number 3

When it comes to the news about Catelynn Lowell expecting baby number three with her husband Tyler Baltierra, Us Weekly can confirm exclusively that the news is true. It was only this past August that Catelynn teased about having a big surprise for all her fans. Luckily, we didn’t have to wait long to see what that surprise was.

“The big news is that we are expecting our rainbow baby. This baby is our rainbow after the storm. I’m super excited,” Cate posted on her Instagram with a beautiful maternity picture. According to usmagazine.com, Catelynn gave Us Weekly an exclusive interview and had this to say:

“It was a huge shock at first. We were not planning it, especially after the miscarriage and how I went downhill with my mental illness.” She added: “We were going to wait a really long time. We were using protection and everything and still got pregnant. This baby just wanted to be here. It was very unexpected.”

19 This Is Actually Her Fourth Pregnancy

It was during a January episode of Teen Mom OG that we learned that Catelynn was expecting her third child. Fans of the show were able to watch as Tyler and Catelynn talked about having another baby, only thing was though, Tyler wanted to be surprised. Cate decided to go to the doctors and have her IUD removed without telling him.

It didn’t take long before she was in a restaurant taking a pregnancy test to see if she was pregnant with her friend Haley and Haley’s son by her side. Why the restaurant?

Well according to people.com, Catelynn revealed that she didn’t want to take the test at home because of Tyler. She didn’t want to take the risk of him seeing it and asking questions. MTV did not reveal if she was actually pregnant when she filmed that scene at the restaurant, but they did film the reaction she got from Tyler when she told him she was pregnant.

18 She Sought Treatment After Losing A Pregnancy

It was during a January episode of Teen Mom OG that fans learned Catelynn was pregnant with baby number three. The following month we learned that she had a miscarriage. It was during a scene with MTV producer Kerthy that Tyler opened up about the moment the whole traumatic scene started.

“It’s very traumatic. When you see her shaking and she’s got blood everywhere, it’s like … you don’t really know what to do. She kind of cleaned herself up, and we kind of figured out what was going on,” Tyler said. “Spotting is normal, but all the clotting is not. So, we just saw on the bed and cried. We just held each other. There’s nothing you can really do.”

Shortly after Catelynn decided to leave again for treatment in Arizona. According to people.com, it was during a call to Tyler’s mom that fans learned the horrible truth. “I contemplated every single way that I could kill myself today,” she said, crying.

17 They Gave Their First Baby Up For Adoption

We first met Tyler and Cate during season one, episode six of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant. The two were both in high school and had been together for three years when they learned Cate was expecting her first child.

Those who have seen the show, know that Cate’s mom had a bad temper and was known to be unreliable, while Tyler’s dad had an addiction and was in and out of jail and Tyler’s life. What makes it worst was that Cate’s mom and Tyler’s dad were about to marry when their episode aired. Not a good situation to raise a baby in.

Which is why Tyler and Catelynn agree to put the baby up for adoption. According to mtv.com, Catelynn’s mother April was not supportive of their decision at all. Tyler’s dad butch even less. Luckily, they had Tyler’s mom. She stands by their decision and helps them through it.

It is back and forth for a while, but on the day Catelynn gives birth, she makes the hard decision to go through with her plans and hands the baby over to Brandon and Teresa, the family they had chosen to adopt their daughter.

16 She Had Her Second Child On New Years Day

How lucky is Catelynn for being able to start 2015 as a mom? That is one way to kick off the year with bang, that’s for sure. According to realitytea.com, Tyler took to Instagram when Cate went into labor to inform all their fans of the joyous event.

“IT’S HAPPENING! Here we go, doing this all over again. This is surreal, I’m freakin out a little lol but can’t wait to meet my little angel! Thinking a lot about Carly right now. It’s bringing me back. Even though I know this time I will actually be taking her home. I love my girls! #CantWait #Nervous #Excited #Scared #Happy”

He would then later take to twitter to let all his loyal fans know that his beautiful daughter was finally here. “OMG guys, my daughter is BEAUTIFUL! Can’t wait for you guys to see her! Born on 1/01/15 at 3:15 #StillCantBelieveIt #ShesPerfect.”

15 She Got A Lot Of criticism For Having A Second Child

Having a baby is supposed to be a glorious thing. Sadly, for Catelynn and Tyler, their moment of joy was crushed when certain fans decided to take to their Instagram and twitter and send them some hateful comments while she was in labor.

According to realitytea.com, some fans thought it was disrespectful to Carly, who was then five at the time, to be so excited. Cate was quick to defend her family though.

“No, it will not be hurtful because she knows everything about her story. We are in a totally different place older wiser and own a home, stuff we didn’t have when I was pregnant with Carly. We have an awesome relationship and she can ask any questions. She will never feel like I loved this child anymore then I love her!” She tweeted to all the haters.

3 Some Are Calling Her And Tyler Irresponsible

So, as stated earlier, Catelynn and Tyler have gone through a lot. So much so, that when they announced their pregnancy to the world, people actually called them selfish for bringing another child into the mess that is their life.

According to hollywoodgossip.com, these are some of the comments people posted under their pregnancy announcement: "I think Catelynn should worry about her mental health issues before having any kids." “Having a baby will most likely put her into depression after giving birth, it's not healthy at all." "Y'all two are so unstable. Not to mention suicidal. This is NOT good news. Poor kids is all I got to say." People can be so hateful sometimes….

One person actually wrote how Tyler should get ready to raise Nova and the new baby because its obvious that Catelynn is going to jet off to rehab to ride horses and have spa days. Catelynn wound up turning off the comments on her post without a response, Tyler on the other hand retweeted this message on his twitter:

"If no one with depression had kids, the world would start shrinking at an alarming rate. If you are one of the lucky few never to experience it. Give a prayer of thanks and don't talk about what you do not understand." "THIS. RIGHT HERE," Tyler added. "NAILED IT!!!

2 They Have Their Own Kid Clothing Line

According to wetpaint.com, Cate had this to say about their new business adventure: “Strictly just for kids, and majority of our products are handmade in Michigan. We cut it, we help with everything. They’re good quality items and cute items for kids.”

Maci Bookout and her husband, Taylor McKinney, who were also on the after show and own their own clothing line, had this piece of advice for their friends and co-stars: “Be willing to learn the first year,” Maci told them. “We learned a lot the first year but now everything is so much easier.”

1 Fans Thought Their Child Clothing Line Was Too Mature

Everyone has an opinion, especially when something a reality star does that they do not agree with. When Tyler and Catelynn released the first pictures of their new kids’ clothing line, some fans decided to chime in their opinion and express how it was not appropriate for children. According to intouchweekly.com, one fan wrote:

"I don't think this top is very age appropriate. The cut, the color, the choker ... it's not something that I would put on a young child." Tyler took to his Instragram though to set the record straight and shut all the nay sayers up.

"I usually don't respond to any comments or reactions from social media...BUT I felt the need to do so regarding the @tierrareign lace tank," he said. "Emma (the cute little model I used) was actually almost 2 sizes too small for the tank! We realized the day of the photo shoot and the production of her size was not completed yet, so we didn't have one to swap it out (or we would have)," he added. "Emma liked the choker necklace lol!"
