Did Jamie Lynn Spears Oops And Do It Again?
Good gravy. I wasn’t sure about reporting this, but it’s everywhere. Just when you think this bunch can’t possibly get any more dysfunctional, they go and exceed all expectations. Word on the internets is that Jamie Lynn Spears, 17-year-old sister of Britney, who already has one infant at home, done oopsied and did it again (yeah, it’s so overused, but it’s so easy, and it’s early in the morning, folks):
Whoops – she did it again! Teen Prego Queen Jamie Lynn Spears has another bun in the oven, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER is reporting exclusively – and her pals are begging her to abort.
In a blockbuster world exclusive, The ENQUIRER has learned that the 17-year-old Zoey 101 starlet is now expecting for the second time – a mere three months after giving birth on June 19 to baby Maddie Briann.
Jamie’s desperate to keep the shocking news secret and some people close to her are urging Jamie Lynn to consider ending the pregnancy, sources say.
“Jamie Lynn is about eight weeks pregnant, and she and her mom Lynne are hysterical,” revealed a close source. “Neither of them knows what to do, but for now they’re trying to keep the news from getting out.”
Too late.
You ask how in the world a young woman can possibly get preggers again that quick? Well, let’s take a look at her backwoods reasoning:
“Jamie Lynn believed she couldn’t get pregnant while she was breast-feeding,” said the close source. “She’d expected to have her period by early September.” A home pregnancy test came back positive and Jamie Lynn cried her eyes out, said the source.
Her mother Lynne was livid when she found out, divulged an insider.
Here’s a news flash for ya…OF COURSE YOU CAN GET PREGNANT WHILE YOU’RE BREASTFEEDING! You know what they call people who use that line of reasoning? Parents of more than one child!
Well, first, good on her for breastfeeding. So at least she’s got that part right. But what, realistically, are the chances of her getting pregnant while nursing little Maddie Briann?
In general, if your baby is under 6 months, you have not had a period and you are nursing frequently around the clock, chances are about 1 percent of you getting pregnant.
After you get a period or after your baby is 6 months old, your chances increase. Once your baby does not rely on you for all food and begins to nurse less, your body is more amenable to getting pregnant again.
So, slim, but not none. Of course we don’t know specifics, but if Jamie Lynn isn’t nursing exclusively or has started to wean the baby onto some solid foods, and the baby isn’t nursing as much, it could happen that Jamie Lynn could get pregnant again. But, it could happen anyway. Every woman is different.
But there’s one of the problems…Jamie Lynn is not a woman, even though she has had sex and given birth. Of course, this is my opinion, but she’s just seventeen…she’s still a teenager, not a woman. Her body is still growing and changing. Call me a prude if you want, but quite frankly, she’s got no business getting pregnant again, or even having sex at all for that matter. She has not even gone ahead and married Casey Aldridge, Maddie’s father, and from most accounts it doesn’t look likely that she will (he’s been accused of cheating on her). I’m not even sure she’s not still jailbait in some states. She’s still a child herself, for cryin’ out loud!
Look, I realize that even in the best of families with the best intentions, things happen. Doesn’t make them right, but they happen, and you deal with it the best you can. But twice now? Honestly, that doesn’t seem so much an “accident” as a cry for help. This family has never been accused of being the most well-adjusted family. Just a theory, but maybe Jamie Lynn just wants to settle down and be a mom and get out of the celeb rat race, and this is her way of doing it, whether consciously or subconsciously. Wonder how much Lynne will try to get out of this baby’s pictorial?
Before anyone starts on me in the comments, I don’t hate Jamie Lynn. I feel sorry for her. With all her fame and money, she doesn’t seem to be happy. You never see her smiling any more, not even with the baby. I think she needs to stop having sex, focus on taking care of the baby she already has, and work on getting her smile back.
And lastly…it’s the Enquirer. It’s about 50/50 on whether or not this is the truth. I really hope it is not true, for all concerned. Next they’ll be saying the father is Elvis and the baby is a green alien with three heads. Ouch, epidural, stat!

I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if this IS true. Britney did the same exact thing, and we can see how well having two children in the same year worked for her.
Also, YUCK! I couldn’t agree more with you k about the whole “not having sex thing for Jamie Lynn. She is still a minor and shouldn’t be doing the deed at all, let alone within 12 weeks of giving birth. Casey needs to be slapped for engaging in that.
The female body needs time to heal, especially one that’s still growing and developing. That really weirds and grosses me out when people do this. Doctors (at least mine) recommended waiting a full three months before resuming and they all said “use protection” and trust me, I breastfed plenty. Also, I was an ADULT who was MARRIED.
Talk about family values.

You’re supposed to wait six weeks before having sex after giving birth. Why? Because the risk for infection is higher while your body is healing. The vagina, cervix, and uterus are put through an awful lot during childbirth and they need time to return to their normal state. As well, it’s a comfort issue.
There’s also no consistency to the “no period while breastfeeding” thing, thus it’s not birth control. I breastfed my daughter for almost a year and 8 weeks after giving birth I was back to regular periods.
Once I started working Labor & Delivery and Post-Partum care, I was really surprised at how many women really believed breastfeeding was effective birth control. I was also surprised more than once at a brand new mom asking if her man could spend the night so they could finally have sex again.
