She detailed all of the reasons she’s having the baby in the caption of a video that appeared to be a scripted reenactment of her real-life experiences. The first scene included a medical professional telling her that “it’s gonna be kind of hard in the future to conceive a child” since she’s had four myomectomies — surgical procedures to remove fibroid tumors. The woman went on to tell Deiondra that her chances of getting pregnant were “slim” and if she did, it would be a “high-risk” pregnancy. After the scene in the medical office, the video cut to Deiondra on a bridge wearing a white dress and cradling a baby bump. In the caption of the video, Deiondra told her followers that her pregnancy was “not planned nor expected.”
