Mackenzie McKee Gives Scary Twin Update
Teen Mom viewers watched Mackenzie McKee and her fiancé, Khesanio Hall, try to expand their family. She had three children from her previous marriage to Josh McKee. After her third baby, she had her tubes tied, plus she is diabetic, so she has to be very careful with her health. Mackenzie and Khesanio underwent IVF so he could have a blood child, and they implanted two embryos. Both took, and in the season finale, it was revealed that they were having twin girls. Her family was worried for her, as prior pregnancies had been rough on her.

Yet, Mackenzie was ready for these new beans to come into the world. Her stomach has continued to grow, and now, she is at a point where it is a daily struggle. Mackenzie swelled up so much, gaining twenty pounds virtually overnight. She headed to the hospital with the staff thinking that she had preeclampsia. However, her blood pressure was not high enough to warrant any panic, so she was sent home. She ended up getting a second opinion after her followers were worried for her.

Her doctors have wanted her to do all that she can to keep the babies in for another five weeks. As much as Mackenzie wants to do this, it is becoming increasingly hard for the Teen Mom star. She does have preeclampsia, but with that, her mental health is deteriorating. Currently, she is still in the hospital and has asked for prayers for her and her girls. Mackenzie has also praised Khesanio for holding down the fort at home and being a super dad to her children.
