Mayci Neeley And Mikayla Matthews Were Excited To Be Expecting At The Same Time

It was a trifecta of pregnancy for the cast of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." Not only were Neeley and Matthews pregnant, but so was Jen Affleck.
Shortly after announcing the pregnancies, Matthews talked to PEOPLE about being pregnant at the same time as Neeley and Affleck.
"I've never been pregnant with a friend or anyone at the same time. It's so fun," Matthews said. "I feel like we're all so close and it was such a shock. Obviously, we weren't all planning to get pregnant at the same time, so finding out how close [our due dates] are was really fun."
Matthews said it was "especially great being pregnant with Mayci, who is like my closest, best friend."
"I'm always texting her like, 'Are you eating everything in your fridge right now?'" Matthews continued. "She's going through all the same aches and pains and cravings, so it's fun to relate to her and get to talk to her about it. It's the same with Jen, too."

"Baby Penelope is here & she is perfect," she wrote in an IG caption with a carousel of photos. "Going unmedicated was truly the most painful but empowering experience of my life. I could not have done it without Zac and my supportive doula! I’m so grateful and so happy that Penny is earth side now."
