Jamie Otis’ Pregnancy Update Has Fans Convinced She’s About to Give Birth
We couldn't be happier for Married at First Sight alums Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner — who are getting ready to welcome their first child together, a baby daughter.
Jamie has been keeping fans updated on her pregnancy progress through her social media accounts and blog posts, and she revealed over the weekend that she was almost 2 centimeters dilated, and she says now that she can "finally relax and breathe — well, kinda!"

"I cannot believe our daughter will be in our arms in a matter of days/weeks!" she wrote on Instagram, adding she and Doug will miss sharing their baby bump photos. "She's so big and takes up every crevice of my insides so I literally cannot breathe — lol, but seriously, I can't tell you how amazing it feels to know that if she decided to come tomorrow she'd be fully developed and healthy!"
The reality stars announced in February that they are expecting a baby together after suffering a miscarriage in July 2016. They shared the news with this photo featuring the couple, Jamie's bump, and an arch of rainbow balloons to symbolize their "rainbow baby" — which is the term used to describe a child born after a miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or infant loss.
Back in October, Jamie opened up about the tragedy for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month — when she shared a controversial photo of her late son, who would have been named Johnathan Edward.
"I've realized that there are so many women who have experienced a similar loss and feel so isolated from it. It wasn't until I blogged [that I realized that] so many women feel the same way as me. It's taboo to share photos and talk about miscarriage," she previously told Entertainment Tonight.

"I really want to desensitize this topic. I want to show [other women who have miscarried] that they aren't alone, and I want to give them a space where they can share their sweet baby who was taken from the world too early. I hope by me sharing my story and my son, Johnny, it helps women who have gone through similar circumstances or who are going through a loss now."
We know they will make great parents to their daughter — and can't wait to meet their new addition.
