Leah Messer Suffers Miscarriage

Sad news out of Elkview, W.V., this morning. Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer has suffered a miscarriage, according to reports . “She was having bad cramps for the past two weeks, and then she miscarried,” an insider said the 19-year-old, already parents of 2-year-old twins Aleeah and Ali. Fiance Jeremy Calvert, who got engaged to Leah late last year, told OK! Magazine that the miscarriage has made for “a devastating experience” for himself and Leah. “All I can do is support Leah and take things day by day,” said Jeremy, who’s not the father of Ali and Aleeah (that would be her former husband Corey Simms). “It’s hard, but we will get through it.” In the last two years, Leah has known lots of sorrow. She had a very traumatic pregnancy, starting at age 16, and went into early labor at just six months. She remained on strict bed rest for the last trimester of her pregnancy, and Ali has been dealing with serious health issues from the moment she was born. Combined with her divorce, it’s all been too much to take. Luckily, she is reportedly very happy with Calvert and has him to lean on in this difficult time.
