Things are going well inJamie Otis‘ pregnancy!
“The doc saw a growing amniotic sac and yolk sac! My hcg levels are now 11,453.1 & progesterone is off the charts reading >60 (!!!) which essentially just means everything is going smoothly!👏🏻,” wrote Otis, 33,alongside a photo ofher hugging the dad-to-be — who’s visibly emotional as he holds up a strip of ultrasound images.
“In other news, it definitely doesn’t seem like twins so much anymore because there is only one amniotic sac/yolk sac — UNLESS they’re identical!!!!” shared the former reality star,who previously speculated thatthere may be more than one embryo in her uterus considering her HCG levels were on the higher side.
“My HCG is higher than average for about 5 weeks along so there is still a glimmer of hope!🤣,” she joked. “But either way — we are obvs HAPPY with 1, 2, or 10 babies! Just hoping for HEALTHY!☺️”
Otis — who also shares 2-year-old daughterHenley Grace, a.k.a. Gracie, with Hehner, 35 — also shared that she has “drastically changed [her] lifestyle” over the past two months, which “seems to be working” in terms of fertility.
“We recorded a full@hotmarriagecoolparentspodcast ep on all the things I did differently to get to this positive pregnancy test.🤰🏼🙏🏻,” the mom-to-be added, directingher followers to the episode.

Throughout her difficult journey, Otis has been incredibly candid about her struggles to expand her family.
