Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant Again, Says the National Enquirer
Jamie Lynn Spears, Britney Spears’s 17-year-old sister who became the poster child for teen pregnancies after giving birth in June, is reportedly pregnant again — and some people close to Jamie Lynn are urging her to consider abortion — according to the National Enquirer — the same notorious — but often accurate — tabloid that outed the John Edwards affair.
Jamie Lynn once starred on the Nickelodeon tween television series "Zoey 101." On June 19, she gave birth to daughter Maddie Briann and is currently engaged to the baby’s father, Casey Aldridge, 19. According to the Enquirer, Jamie Lynn was in shock when an at-home pregnancy test showed a positive result. She said to sources, reports the Enquirer, that she thought since she’s been breast-feeding daughter Maddie, she couldn’t get pregnant.
While it’s true that breast-feeding helps reduce your chances of getting pregnant, Dr. Rebekah E. Gee, an OB/GYN at the University of Pennsylvania, told wowOwow it’s not a great contraceptive. "Prolactin is released while you breast-feed, which usually suppresses ovulation. But some women – which could be the case for Jamie Lynn — can still ovulate when breast-feeding," said Dr. Gee.
