‘Teen Mom’ Kailyn Lowry Regrets Having Tubes Tied, Wants More Kids
In a surprising and emotional revelation, Teen Mom star Kailyn Lowry has opened up about a deeply personal decision she now regrets — having her tubes tied. The MTV reality veteran, who has become one of the most recognizable faces of the Teen Mom franchise, recently confessed that despite previously choosing permanent birth control, she now longs to expand her family even further.
Lowry, 32, made the confession on her podcast, Barely Famous, where she often speaks candidly about motherhood, relationships, and personal growth. “I thought I was done,” she said. “I really did. After baby number seven, I thought, ‘This is it. My body needs a break. My mind needs peace.’ But lately, I’ve felt this strong pull. I want another child.”
The mom of seven, who gave birth to twins in late 2023, had a tubal ligation shortly after delivering the babies. At the time, she believed it was the right choice for her physical and mental well-being. But now, just months later, her feelings have shifted — and she’s being transparent about the emotional weight of that decision.
“I didn’t expect to feel this way. I love being a mom. I love the chaos, the joy, the messiness of it all,” Lowry said. “And the idea that I made a decision that took away the option… it’s been hard to sit with.”
Lowry’s confession has sparked a wave of reactions across social media. Many fans praised her vulnerability, while others criticized the notion of wanting more children after seven. Some medical professionals also chimed in, reminding the public that tubal reversal or IVF may be options for women in Lowry’s situation, though they come with risks and uncertain outcomes.
This isn’t the first time Kailyn Lowry has been open about the complexities of motherhood. Since first appearing on 16 and Pregnant in 2010, viewers have watched her grow from a teen mom navigating young adulthood into a business-savvy, fiercely independent mother of a large and diverse family. Along the way, she’s faced public breakups, custody battles, and mental health struggles — but has always maintained that her children are her greatest motivation.
Critics may question her latest statements, but Lowry remains unfazed. “It’s my journey, and it’s messy,” she said. “But if I’ve learned anything from being on Teen Mom all these years, it’s that life doesn’t always follow the script. And I’m okay with rewriting mine.”
Whether she will pursue motherhood again via alternative methods remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Kailyn Lowry isn’t afraid to speak her truth — no matter how complicated it may be.
