Shannon told PEOPLE that she and her husband found out they were pregnant in November, despite sharing the news with fans in April. While they are “excited” to become parents of two, the reality TV personality confessed that it is “nerve-wracking” in the exact phrase. Shannon told the magazine, “was definitely a shock because we had been trying and I’ve been buying pregnancy tests and they kept coming back up negative.”

“It is hard… because I’m also testing to deal with it personally, and then I’m also having to film it,” Lauryn said of filming the different reality shows, including the most recent one, Mama June: Road to Redemption. She added, “Even on this season, it’s kind of hard because going back to the past kind of puts tear and wear, not only for me, physically, but mentally. I don’t want to go backwards into that mental place that I was when my mother was into her addiction and me having to step up and do all the things that I was doing and not really taking care of myself.”

Lauryn said, “I feel like I’ve moved on from the reality television lifestyle because I’ve put in a lot of effort in terms of my own personal well-being.” She added, “At this point, I really do feel like I have worked hard as a woman, [done] therapy, and really working and taking this time for myself and for my family. I honestly just kind of loathe going back to the past.”
