I always find it laughable that maci didn't know.   Did you see that belly when she was telling her ultrasound tech that she had no symptoms?   It makes no sense that she thought it was baby weight from Jayde or just weight gain.   There is a huge difference between post baby flab and a six month pregnant belly obviously.   

Not only that, but Maci did not have post Jayde flab. In August of 2015, she was wearing that tacky Forever 21 one piece two toned dress to C&T's wedding, and she was back to a flat stomached size 0. Everyone commented to her that it did not appear possible she'd given birth two months earlier. 

 

 

Pic below- yeah, there's no way she didn't notice her body changing. Also, I am wondering how she was even able to sit down in that skirt.

The thing I'm most curious about is when Taylor found out that she was pregnant.    I wonder if she hid it from him for a while too

 

maybe she was just raring to go party and thought that she wouldn't need to sit down to play beer pong.   Didn't even consider that it was the people of the manors wedding.  Lmao

From the scene where Maci went to lunch as she was drinking while pregnant:

Maci is clearly pregnant here and you can see a beer bottle in her left hand. According to the site, she was approximately 5-6 months in these photos going by information she posted on her social media:

Also, her excuse was PCOS. Anyone who knows anything about women's health or even just freaking Googles PCOS knows no doctor would ever, EVER tell a woman not to use birth control due to PCOS. First off, it's not highly uncommon and it affects everyone differently. One of my close friends has actual diagnosed PCOS (as opposed to Maci who I doubt has it at all) and has since her teen years. She went off birth control with her fiance to see if she could conceive without fertility treatment and was pregnant within months. People with PCOS conceive naturally all the time. No way in hell any doctor is going to tell you you suddenly became 100% infertile due to PCOS.

Maci hadn't revealed she was pregnant when this scene aired. You can clearly see her pregnant belly.  See the near empty beer glass on the desk? That is her usual glass she uses when drinking beer:

I feel emotional looking at this. I've read about Maci drinking while pregnant, albeit I was angry, but seeing the footage was a trigger and makes me terribly sad.

She was CLEARLY back to pre pregnancy weight at Cate and Tyler's wedding and any female should would take a pregnancy test if their stomach was going BACK to looking pregnant AFTER already having their SnapBack. Sure, Jan!!!

I had a glass of wine when  I was at 37 weeks pregnant but my doctor said I was super stressed and the only glass would help. But Maci was drinking casually, and OFTEN!!! ???

My heart breaks for kids being born with withdrawals because their mommy didn't put their child's needs first.

Were they together for NYE too? Oh wow. 

I know they were together after wrapping up filming the 5th season reunion shows:

As The Ashley told you- Maci and her ‘Teen Mom OG’ co-stars Amber Portwood and Catelynn Lowell partied so hard the night before the Season 5B After Show taping in December 2015, they were given an IV “hangover cure” to help them get through the filming! At that point, Maci would have been at least three months pregnant at that point.

The same article mentions an Instagram photo that a friend of Maci's posted which showed Maci and a group of people at a wedding on January 30, 2016. The article mentions Maci was fully aware of her pregnancy by that date while showing the photo of her with a glass of wine. Maci officially announced her pregnancy two weeks later on Valentines Day and mentions she is having a boy. This is the photo she used to announce the pregnancy:

Maci and Ryan are both full of shit. You can't trust him. That is why you need to go to court.  WTF is she waiting for? As for Ryan, you don't call the shots. The courts do. You have no say-so in the matter. That is why I wish Maci would run to that fucking courthouse ASAP. Ryan, you have to earn trust, you asshole. You don't get trust straight out of rehab. This obviously shows he is not in any post-rehab treatment which is so detrimental to maintaining sobriety. Looks like Ryan is doing the Amber Portwood way of dealing with addiction: http://hollywoodlife.com/2017/07/10/maci-bookout-ryan-edwards-sobriety-relapse-fears-bentley/

“Maci wants Ryan to undergo random drug testing as she says she still doesn’t trust he is staying sober. Ryan’s refusing though, he says Maci has no grounds for claiming he’s relapsed, and he insists he hasn’t. He thinks she’s just doing it to create more drama and to make him look bad,” a source close to Ryan

I hate to be that person but is it possible to just agree that Maci drank while pregnant and move on?  I am not condoning it but it is over and done now, she is not currently pregnant, and so far her drinking post pregnancy has not been to the level of interfering with her family. Yes she could drink less but compared to the others she is pretty even keeled.

Maci is on TM. Until she is off this show, what she does will continue to get the side-eye from people. Even though she may not be a raging alcoholic (that we know of), she should not get a pass for her own behavior while judging others for theirs. 

Maci said on this season how the drinking fueled the problems in her marriage. It led to blow-ups and fighting in front of the kids. So yes, it is a problem that interferes with her family. If you are drinking while pregnant, THAT is a red flag that you have a problem. It is no different than Ryan having a drug problem, Cate and her pot and pill problem, and Amber with her drinking while apparently ingesting medication for her mental issues. Their problems help Maci's problems to be overlooked. That, and Maci constantly talking about Ryan in order to deflect her own problems. 

Did you all know Bentley has his own digital series on YouTube? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGyCS9xFWAE

"Girl, girl get that cash..." lol 

Next thing you know she will be selling t-shirts and claiming she has PCOS. 

You know, until Maci goes to court and gets things legally taken care of, I will have to concede that she is only stirring up drama while likely getting back at Mackenzie for what she said. If she truly was concerned and didn't want Ryan to see Bentley or be around him, she has one recourse and to date she hasn't done anything. WTF is she waiting for?

It's a merry go round for Maci because instead of acting like any responsible parent who would go to court and make Ryan get drug tested or lose his time with Bentley, she took advantage of Jenn and Larry's free babysitting and then turned it into a bullshit storyline about how Ryan needs to spend more time alone with Bentley and Jen needs a dog and a hobby.   That's because she is not a responsible parent, she just plays one on tv.  

She doesn't care who she turns Bentley over to, as long as it doesn't interfere with her party time.   She even left Jayde there to go party and get knocked up for a third time.  

I don't think Maci would have said anything about the drugs, except the cameras caught Ryan in the car being undeniably fucked up.   I'm guessing that's how they are explaining the 'text' Maci got talking about what Ryan was up to, and she knew it would make it onto the show, so she had to go ahead and pretend to be shocked and upset.   Then filmed the conversations with the therapist on speakerphone and they edited the timeline to be different than it was.  JMO

Thank you! You said everything I feel more eloquently than I ever could have!

I would actually tend to agree with you-- her binge drinking is certainly not, to me, "the same" as Ryan's serious addiction or anything like that, and while alcohol abuse is a problem, it doesn't have to mean you're an addict or should never drink again-- but I think her own self righteousness and the sweetheart edit and softball interviews she gets from MTV make people focus on it more. The other cast members have all to SOME extent been questioned or exposed in terms of their substance abuse and other issues, and Maci herself still laughs and makes fun of things like Farrah's porn years later, but MTV allowed her to literally fake surprise at a pregnancy she obviously knew about all season and in every interview special while she was also drinking throughout. (I think the faking the pregnancy shock thing makes people a lot warier of the drinking. Clearly she knew it was some sort of issue and MTV allowed her to manufacture an obvious lie to hide it). Now this season, again, she's been allowed to have the angelic "concerned ex of a troubled man" storyline and a benign "working on our marriage" one as well while admitting that her drinking with her spouse at the very least exacerbates their issues. If she was less high and mighty or if the show wasn't so utterly forgiving of all of her flaws and dedicated to obfuscating when it comes to her, I'd probably be saying the same thing you are.

I think sometimes a lot of us bring it up in response to people saying she is a good mom.  She's an absolutely terrible piece of garbage mom for drinking until she was 22 weeks pregnant.

Agree. I mean, I wouldn't get on a pregnant woman who drank an occasional glass of wine or beer while pregnant. My friend's midwife told her she could have a half of glass of wine a week, every week, if she wanted. She didn't every week, but she did have a half a glass here and there. Hell, I had three beers, sat in a hot tub, and went on the Harry Potter dragon ride when I was 5 weeks pregnant because I didn't know it yet. I'm the last one to judge.

 

But drinking shots of hard liquor when you are out of the 1st trimester? Being filmed with large beers multiple times with a clearly pregnant belly? Yes, I will judge that. And saying, well, Maci is a good mom except for the time she drank shots when she was 15 weeks pregnant, is pretty much like asking Ms. Lincoln how she liked the play otherwise.

And no doubt she drank throughout all her pregnancies. Maci has been a drinker since her teen years. Me thinks it is a problem.

 

@Tatum I know what you mean. I drank some alcohol when I was six weeks pregnant. I felt bad when two weeks later I woke up sick, went to the doctor, and found out I was pregnant.

Agree. Maci puts herself on this show and enjoys the admiration and the adulation she gets from people. Well, then she better build up that thick-skin because if one chooses to drink while pregnant on a hit tv show, they better expect the criticisms that come with your behavior. You can't have one without the other.

The topic was brought up because someone mentioned Maci's judgmental and snide attitude during the Ryan addiction conversation. That in turn brought up how she may need to look in the mirror and check herself for her own problem with alcohol and how she drank during her pregnancy.  As long as Maci continues with this pious and smug attitude, and her problematic drinking continues, which she herself admitted has caused marital problems, all fingers will continue to point at her.  If Ryan and others can be critiqued and judged for their addictions and problems, Maci is fair game for her drinking problem. And we will continue to snark on her since this is a snark board and it is the Maci thread :)

Maci has a lot of dirty laundry. 

You'd think with that talk about her having three businesses, she and Taylor would take us into their world and show us those three businesses and show us the work they supposedly do to justify putting their two youngest in daycare from sunrise to sunset. Instead, we see  two people on a couch, drinking beers and discussing Riiiiiiiine and putting Bentley on blast for not shitting at school.

Why oh why is there a radaronline article stating Maci has a belly? I wish I could attach article! I hope it's just speculation based on the pic.

http://radaronline.com/celebrity-news/maci-bookout-baby-bump-pregnancy-speculation-photo-teen-mom-og/

I know some people's computers don't like RadarOnline, so here's the article:
 

Quote

 

Maci Bookout revealed that she is done having children, but it looks like she may be adding another baby to her brood! The Teen Mom OG star showed off what appeared to be a baby bump in a recent Instagram photo.

Bookout, 25, posted a photo with her youngest son Maverick, 1, with husband Taylor McKinney, and her oldest son Bentley, 8, with ex-fiancé Ryan Edwards.

Bookout, who is known for her super skinny figure, seemed to have a baby bump as she held her youngest son.

“Is she pregnant again? Her stomach looks like she is,” one fan commented on the photo, as another wrote, “Is it me or does Maci’s belly look like she’s pregnant again?”

A third commenter posted, “She’s pregnant again? Look at that bump!”

But not all followers were convinced, as many blamed the angle of the photo.

Bookout has yet to respond to the speculation. But as fans know, she has been adamant that she is done having children. She is also mother daughter Jayde, 2, with McKinney.

“We’ve both talked about adoption or fostering in the future, down the road, but we’re not [having kids] biologically,” she told People. “For both of us, it’s one of those things where if we are capable of providing a stable home, healthy relationships and some hope for a child who may not have that or ever experienced it, then we want to.”

Bookout came under fire during her pregnancy with Maverick when she was caught on camera holding a beer only seven weeks before announcing the baby news.

She was even spotted drinking beer with an obvious baby bump on TMOG.

 

And the picture in question:

  • Love 8

I duuuunnnnnno about that "bump" picture. Lol. When I'm juggling a baby my torso does a weird contortionist move to balance the baby making my trim stomach look preggo.

Also, they're at the beach which means tons of budlight for Maci and pringles. I have a flat stomach but when I get some salt and carbs in me my stomach bloats out to where I look pregnant.

Gawd, maybe I'm just trying to talk the universe out of giving her another baby for her to piss and moan about. I don't want ANOTHER season of Maci complaining about how busy she is with three kids and a house to tend to, add a fourth child and we'll NEVER hear the end of saint bud light Maci talk about how much of a wonder mom she is.

Hmmm, and I also wonder if she keeps (1/16th of the reason) getting pregnant to show off her SnapBack to Cate/Amber/Kailyn who like to STILL complain about their pregnancy weight from the FIRST pregnancy since they're onto their 2nd/3rd children now. ????

I know, I know, that last one was far fetched but you KNOW she enjoys showing the "bigger girls" on the show up when she walks out like a twig after multiple babies while they talk about weight gain from 8 years ago. ?

I don't think that's a baby bump- I think it's the angle of the picture. But yes Maci relishes her petite figure- which is her right, she looks great. 

 

However with Maci who knows?

On a recent prog we saw here in the Uk...Ryan and his family wanted to have bentley  Xmas Eve ( I think) and take  him back later on Xmas day...Maci told Bentley  that " Well we will be opening presents with Jayde...and with Maverick..."  if that is not manipulation ..what is????   She made the  child feel like he was going to miss out on something!   That was not fair.... Jayde and maverick are / were so young that they could have been put to bed  later and therefore got up later...they would have known  no difference....sorry to all Maci   fans...she is  very sly!

Just a wild guess, but based on what I've read on the Leah thread (TM2) being skinny gives some women a superiority complex. Like for Leah, she's known as the queen of the holla (can't keep a straight face typing that) because she's always been thin.

So Farrah is the only one Maci has "competition" with based on the fact both her and Farrah have attended college classes, have had jobs and never visited the fat farm.

I've personally witnessed some people in my life act high and mighty as soon as they got skinny again post pregnancy lol.

I hope that's what @Tatum meant. If not, I'll shoosh now. ??

Not to get off topic, but there is an infamous episode of Intervention dealing with a meth head alcoholic named Cristy

  She was running around butt naked in a filthy apartment provided for free by her parents.  She stripped to buy drugs

  Anyway, Christy's sister came by to feed her and talk about how to get her life together.  The sister was Amber's size.  Anytime the sister tried to help her Christy would scream, " At least I'm not fat." in the most smug superior voice.

I thimk Maci is blessed with a great metabolism and there is a  unfounded prejudice in our society that fat people are lazy, so Maci does feel a little superior to Cate and Amber in that regard.  However, I think the picture above is some sort of photoshop fail rather than a pregnancy.

I don't mind tattoos but something about Maci's just make her look so trashy.  Also, that tatoo took a lot of time.  I have two kids and work full time and I would never have enough time to do that.  I guess she is rich from the show and has a lot of family support.  I am assuming she got it for free since she is pimping the shop.  It proabably would have cost well over 1k.

I think that's just from premature aging that's ramped up what is/soon will be smokers' lines around her mouth (not helped by tanning her face or being outside during the times of the day when UV raises are most intense without sunscreen, etc).

 

Also, wth are these chicks and guys who have tats all over going to do when they literally run out of areas to tat? Kail and Maci (and some of the guys) have like no room on their sleeves/arms and backs now. Will they completely tat up their legs? Then move to their necks? Their faces? At this rate, they won't have anywhere left to tattoo before they hit 40. What will they do for entertainment and blow their TM Season 28 money on then? (Just kidding, I'm sure they'll find plenty of stuff to blow it on.) Maci and Kail's tattoos are just tragic. Bless their hearts.
