I'm happy to announce that I am 11 weeks
pregnant at 32 Gypsy Rose Blanchard says
a doctor warned her about fertility
issues so her pregnancy came as a shock
just the latest twist in her Sensational
life how do you feel I'm excited um at
first I was very nervous um but I'm very
excited you talked about a roller
coaster of emotions yes mood swings are
wicked released from prison after more
than 8 years she's embraced her Freedom
plans lot of fixing her teeth getting a
nose job and filing for divorce from her
husband Ryan Anderson while she still
lives with her dad rod and stepmom
christe she's rekindled a relationship
with her former fiance Ken urker those
tumultuous 6 months all captured in the
lifetime docu series Gypsy Rose life
after lockup so to be clear you haven't
been with your ex for a this is clearly
um early well it was midm March um when
I left Ryan so um this is absolutely
100% Ken's baby there was never any
question of paternity how do you think
your ex is going to react to this
especially given that you're going
through a divorce proceeding still I'm
hoping that he is okay um emotionally
and I wish him the best emotionally um
but right now I have not even had a
moment to stop and think about any
anybody else except for am I taking my
prenatals in the morning am I drinking
enough water like I have so much to
focus on making sure that um I'm healthy
for this baby so you've clicked into
maternal mode I have absolutely nesting
and everything Blanchard knows that
motherhood for her will be fraught she
pleaded guilty to Second deegree murder
for plotting to have her own mother
killed after years of abuse her mother
deei forced her to undergo unnecessary
surgeries shaved her head and kept in a
wheelchair with a feeding tube for much
of her childhood I understand that with
my past um there's going to be a lot of
people that kind of question um if I
even should be a mother or even have
children in my care if your critics are
wondering that like how how do you feel
confident that you be able to teach your
children right from wrong I know that
I'm not perfect I know that I have made
mistakes in the past um and I will
probably make minor mistakes going
forward
but at the same time I do know right
from wrong and um learning from past
mistakes is a growth that um comes with
time things that I wanted in a
mother I want to give to this
baby and I just want to be a good mother
for my child I want to
be I want to be everything my mother
wasn't my mother did not not want to see
me meet those Milestones that every
child should have like going on a first
date a prom um you know a bike ride all
of those little Milestone moments that
make life worth
living I didn't get to have that and so
I want my child to have all of the
things that he or she could ever want in
life how do you plan to tell your child
about your own childhood and the role
you had in your mother's murder that
question has plagued my mind for a long
time and I've come to a point where I
understand that that question is going
to be asked by my child someday so I
feel like when that time comes Ken and I
will sit down and have that conversation
and I will explain in the most honest
way possible and will there be another
docu series down the road will cameras
continue to roll I don't know yet um
that's you never know what the future
holds with that but once the baby's born
I really feel strongly that I don't want
my baby to be in front of a camera um
unless it's for like home movies I will
not be putting my child in the media at
all
why I don't this world is so cruel and
unsafe
that there is
a level of responsibility that I have to
make sure that my child is protected
