Bringing Up Bates star Josie Bates Balka is currently pregnant with her fourth child. The 25-year-old shared the exciting news last month. Josie welcomed her third child, a baby boy named Miles, on February 22, 2024. As a result, many were surprised when Josie announced another pregnancy in just a year. But amid all the celebrations, Josie is now raising health concerns. Keep reading to see what happened.
Bringing Up Bates: Josie Bates’s Health Issues
Josie is one of the few daughters of Gil and Kelly Jo who had gone through issues during her pregnancy. In September 2022, the Bringing Up Bates star suffered from a miscarriage. Her daughter, Hazel, also battled blood-related issues and had to stay in the NICU for quite some time. Josie also admitted the difficulties she experienced during her pregnancy with Miles. This made some people speculate that her current pregnancy is even more sensitive, and her sudden absence makes many people worried.
Josie Raises Health Concerns Amid Pregnancy
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed the unusual inactivity of Josie Bates Balka on IG. She usually keeps her followers in touch online, endorsing her hair-curling products and sharing adorable stories with her kids. However, she hasn’t been active since last month, and some people are starting to get concerned.
According to some, Josie might be going through pregnancy sickness, adding that the first trimester can be very difficult. Others also wish that nothing bad happened to her and the baby. But several people think it may be one of Josie’s tactics to keep fans waiting for her future posts.
- “Probably bad morning sickness. First trimester can be brutal.”
- “I was thinking the same, it’s strange that she’s gone MIA after the announcement. Guessing it’s was a pure shock and she doesn’t have any content to put out.”
- “I was thinking about the same thing, went to see if she posted anything on TikTok only to realize that she had deleted many of her videos (5months worth of videos about baby Miles, which is really strange 🤔).”
- “I figured it was an engagement tactic. Make a big announcement, go radio silent, fans comment on her old stuff wondering if she’s ok, finally makes a post and has huge engagement on it.”
- “I remember she was quiet for awhile after announcing her last one, and when she started schilling again, she said how sick she had been from pregnancy.”
