Gypsy Rose Blanchard's Sonogram Sparks Concerns Among Fans
By Kelly Coffey-Behrens on September 4, 2024 at 2:16 PM EDT
Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who spent eight and a half years in prison for her involvement in her mother’s murder, which came after years of reported abuse, is expecting her first child.
As many know by now, Dee Dee Blanchard reportedly subjected her daughter to severe abuse and medical neglect, convincing both Gypsy and those around them that Gypsy suffered from multiple illnesses and disabilities, including leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and developmental delays. This led to Gypsy undergoing numerous medical treatments and surgeries that were later deemed unnecessary.
Now that she's been released on parole, Gypsy Rose Blanchard is embracing life, having rekindled her relationship with her ex, Ken Urker, following her divorce from Ryan Anderson, and is excitedly anticipating the arrival of her first child.
Gypsy Rose Blanchard's 20-Week Sonogram
On Tuesday, Gypsy Rose Blanchard shared a snap of her 20-week sonogram, but fans were quick to notice that she did not blur out the name of her OBGYN, prompting many to leave concerning comments. "May want to blur out your place of service for protection. For your safety, dear," one user wrote.
"I strongly advise you to find a new OBGYN immediately," another said.
For the record, while Gypsy has kept the post up for nearly 24 hours, and she was the one who made the name of her doctor public, The Blast has decided to crop out the name of Gypsy's OBGYN.
Fans Congratulate Gypsy Rose Blanchard After Seeing The Sonogram
Others were quick to point out the date on the sonogram, which has previously sparked discussion due to the timing of her divorce from Ryan Anderson and her rekindled relationship with Ken Urker.
"Thank god the date is on there so everyone can stop claiming different dates for you/saying you’re making this up!" one user wrote. "I’m 19+5 today with my baby girl, so you’re a day ahead of me!"
Hundreds of others expressed their happiness for Gypsy, leaving comments that include, "It's amazing how clear the ultrasounds are nowadays" and "I hope you have a great pregnancy and I hope all the best for you and your baby."
"How exciting! I loved the anatomy scans," another commented, adding a red heart emoji. "She will be here before you know it!"
Gypsy Rose Blanchard Is Having A Girl
Weeks after announcing her pregnancy, Gypsy and Ken held a baby gender reveal party, where the two revealed they were having a baby girl.
"The moment y’all have been waiting for... It’s a girl!" she wrote in an Instagram caption last month. "Ken and I are over the moon and are so excited to start our family. We’re so thankful for our friends, neighbors, and families who came to our party today! We also want thank ya’ll for your love and support!"
While many have shown support for the ex-convict, others have quickly raised concerns about her past, questioning whether she is prepared to become a mother herself.
"I understand that with my past, there's gonna be a lot of people that kind of question if I even should be a mother or even have children in my care," Gypsy said on ABC when announcing her pregnancy. "I know that I'm not perfect. I know that I have made mistakes in the past."
"And I will probably make minor mistakes going forward, but at the same time, I do know right from wrong," she continued. "And learning from past mistakes is a growth that comes with time."
The Ex-Convict Praises Her Stepmom For Being A Great Role Model
After her release from prison, Gypsy first lived with her then-husband, Ryan. Following their separation, she moved in with her father and stepmother.
"I want to be kind, that my kids come to me for any kind of advice, just like my stepmother," she told People Magazine at the time. "I have seen how she has parented her children — and I think she's a kick-a-- mom. She's supportive and not overbearing."
"She lets her kids find their dreams while also being able to pick up the pieces when those dreams fall apart sometimes," Gypsy added. "So that's kind of the mantra I want to live by."
Gypsy Rose Reunites With Ken Urker
Just months after she was released from prison, Gypsy Rose announced her separation from Ryan Anderson, the special education teacher whom she married while behind bars.
Now, Gypsy is dating Ken, whom she was previously engaged to before she married Ryan. "It wasn't until I filed for divorce that I kind of really realized that that spark, that connection [with Ken] is even better than I expected, and we've grown a lot. I've matured. He's grown," she told E! News of her rekindled romance.
Gypsy added, "And so I think right now is the time in our lives that it's the right time, right place, right everything."
