The reality star also spoke to People about her fourth pregnancy, which was unexpected — but welcomed.
“It was definitely a surprise! We were not planning or trying. I miss my period a lot with my health issues, so for me it’s normal to sometimes be off track. Then a month and a half went by and I was telling my friends, like, ‘Maybe I should take a test,’” she told the outlet at the time. “I wasn’t having any symptoms, which made me think I wasn’t pregnant because I usually get symptoms very early, like, two or three weeks in. Then I take the test and it was instantly positive.”

“My husband was with me when I took the test. He never really has much of a reaction to anything, but we were both pretty in shock. Then it set in and we got really excited. We’re definitely excited, nervous about my health and possibly passing anything on, but excited,” she shared.

Mikayla also said the pair may not be finished having children. “I’m surrounded by Mormon culture still and my husband’s siblings all have so many kids,” she explained. “They’re like, ‘Once you hit three kids, you can have 10 kids.’ That’s kind of the mindset I have. When people ask me how many kids I want, I’m like, ‘I’ve always wanted three or four, but I could see myself having six.’”
