“16 & Pregnant” star Ashley Salazar has revealed some heartbreaking news: she suffered a miscarriage. Salazar was pregnant with her second child, four years after having her first daughter, Callie, whom she put up for adoption. This time around, Ashley and her boyfriend, Justin Lane, were really excited to keep the child and become a family. In an interview with Radar Online, Salazar revealed how she’s doing after having been hit with a devastating situation.
“It has been really hard,” Salazar told Radar, revealing she is “really, really disappointed and upset.” “I guess it wasn’t meant to be,” she said, “But I was prepared [for the worst], because at my eight-week checkup the doctor told me I was only measuring at six weeks.” It turns out she suffered from a “blighted ovum.” This means that her fertilized egg implanted inside the uterus, but was not developing.
“The doctor told me I was going to have a miscarriage and that there was nothing I could have done to prevent that,” she explained. “They said that 50% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage.” She went on to add, “We were really, really sad. We had been really excited about having another baby, but learning that it wasn’t happening so early was a blessing I guess. We were crying and upset and hurt.”
Although this has been a painful situation for both Ashley and Justin, she said that her doctor told her that after a few months, she could try and get pregnant again. “After everything has healed, we can try again,” she said. “I think that is when my relationship with Justin will be even better. And even though I was upset, I know everything happened for a reason. We had tough times in our relationship but this clearly wasn’t the right time to have a baby.”
