The Evolution Of Maci | Teen Mom OG

[@mariahhowell1343]

Maci is the real definition of growth. She didn’t need a man to feel whole and when things were bad with Ryan she cut it off and wasn’t tryna “be a family”. She’s the most level headed mom out of the whole franchise.

[@anarosacoronado1998]

both her and Chelsea! they both have gone through so much crap but came out on top and succeeded in life!

[@mariahhowell1343]

I don’t like Chelsea to be honest. She needs a man to be happy and feel whole. She messed with Adam up until she found cole. She literally admitted to sleeping with him while Taylor was pregnant. Maci on the other hand saw a problem and got away from it and is doing great. If Chelsea hadn’t found cole she’d still be messing with Adam.

[@ATMBonnie_]

@@celina8331 I don’t think that was her point at all tho. Chelsea is co dependent and doesn’t seem comfortable alone. Her dad has always sheltered her tbh she wasn’t even comfortable living alone with Aubrey. Remember she had her best girlfriend move in rent free until Adam moved in and put her out. She didn’t even stand up for herself or her friend and I I hated that . She didn’t have the same level of self assurance and confidence as Macy did when she was young . I think she feels pressure to be perfect and have the “perfect family” which probably contributes to her anxiety issues

[@mariahhowell1343]

@bonnie Thank you. That’s exactly what I meant

[@adorexxaneisha]

She can also thank her mother for being As bad a × × as she was. Strong teaches strong 👊🏽💪🏽🤞🏽 she will always be my favorite 💓 she's smart and definitely who I like to kick it with in real life. She's a great mother and Taylor is just amazing, period ❤ 💖

@@jennyoneill8879 The mistake that every guy makes is not taking you seriously when you're still trying to fix things.

[@traceydumase]

@@henrysmith180 Now think about the false predictions of an "unhealthy" or "sickly" unborn baby where parents end up getting an abortion in the hopes of not bringing the child into this world to suffer.

[@anthonyhenderson3625]

Facts Maci and Chelsea deserve nothing but the best in life 💕💕

[@mael2039]

"if we're not happy together that's not what's best for him" that is so true. A lot of parents stick it out for the kids and are miserable and fight all the time and their kids grow up only ever knowing what a dysfunctional relationship is, only ever seeing their parents fight and yell and cry and be miserable. Of course a breakup isn't ideal for the kids, but it is better than two parents who hate each other. It is better to see their parents happy and to see healthy relationships and to see that their parents might not love each other anymore but they still love their children with all their hearts.

I am also French,Polish from my dad's side and Italian from my moms side. So, i didn't think of it as a symptom of PCOS. When I told my mom my diagnosis at 29 yrs old, she had no idea what PCOS was. Back then, the doctor's didn't test for that. I also had weight issues but again, I chalked it up to being Italian and loving bread. At 19, I was 1 yr into my domestic violence relationship with a black man. I say black man because i was homeless at 18, after my first semester in college with a 3.6 GPA and full ride scholarship. My parents kicked me out on the streets at that point. So, at 19, I was 1 yr into the relationship with the guy. Left right at my 21st birthday. I talk about my past to possibly help someone else. Maci is an amazing woman. I didn't know as a fan of hers, that she had PCOS. It gave me a new found appreciation for her and her family

[@ceegee5724]

I'm surprised Ryans mommy let him use a wine glass for his milky instead of the cup with a lid like he was used to

[@JJ-hw9dt]

😂😂😂

[@spants1058]

Lmao 😭

[@kittycaruso50]

Ryans parents seemed like wonderful people, not sure why you aiming at his mom.

[@traceydumase]

@@kittycaruso50 Prreeeetty sure they're aiming at Ryan

[@justjoannak]

😂😂

[@ashleigh7981]

Maci has always been one of my favs from the start, she's always never settled for less than Bentley and herself deserves, Maci along with Chelsea are the most level headed out of the moms 😀 still love Catelynn too

[@lebzozoable2928]

somebody said you can see the difference between teen moms who had supportive non toxic parents compared to others and I cant help but think its true

[@justgigi9545]

Always loved this for Maci and Catelyn. They have just been the most down to earth ladies. And their men as well. Kudos to her for making a big change and bringing awareness to everyone!

[@KelzKhaosandKhronic710]

That look on Ryan’s face when he watched Maci walk away with Benny and Kyle 😢 the moment he realized he truly lost her.

[@justicemai1517]

Na he watching homeboy with his kid he never cared for her after they were done.

[@Mrs.S.plays.sims1]

I wanna thank you Maci for being an advocate for those who have PCOS I was diagnosed at 14 years old

[@summarpowell9997]

We should've known something was wrong with Ryan when we saw him CHUGGING MILK AT THE DINNER TABLE .....

[@justjoannak]

Not the milk 😬🤣

[@sharellmobley5348]

Maci looks just like her mom, Sharon.

[@BlueBabyAkaAj]

Maci knew her worth and it shows.

[@caramarie9118]

Eight months pregnant with my baby boy and watching this 😭 Bentley was sooooo cute ❤️

[@livieperfetto4020]

Congratulations on your bundle of joy!! Bless your journey ✨💕

[@Swiftly_Wi1d]

I admire Maci so much! As a teenager she was able to do what most of us take YEARS to do let alone STICK TO IT as well 🙏 I'm so proud of her as mother ❤ Bentley is amazing and Taylor is a blessing 🙌

[@AlexandraG_]

Bentleys so sweet, Maci has turned out to be such a great mom and their family is absolutely beautiful

[@analynch447]

Lamo Ryan giving Kyle a speech when he ain’t even a good parent

[@ellenhood1356]

This girl is an inspiration. She never let anything get in her way. Way to go Maci❤

[@mshquinn5567]

Thank you Maci for doing this… my pcos caused cervical cancer in me and I had to have a radical partial hysterectomy and now I only have my ovaries and everything else is gone due to the cancer. I’m currently in remission (thankfully) however there’s a 75% chance that I will develop cancer somewhere else within my body before I’m 40 and I’m 32 right now. People need to know about this and more gynaecologists and gps should be talking to their female patients about this

[@leahosborne1380]

❤️

[@annie5171]

As someone with PCOS, the ending of this made me so emotional. I love what she did for the community! So cool.

[@andallthatdoesglitter]

Does watching these make anyone else wonder who the hell is on the other side of happiness lol it’s like all these girls really believed in someone at some point and now are completely happy and married to someone none of us predicted was coming 🧐

[@melissavickery2236]

Watching this reminds me of when i got out of my domestic violence relationship at 21. Then my ex fiancé who cheated on me. I remember thinking i would never find my Mr. Perfect. Except..i found mine in 2018. And now we are expecting baby #2. I felt just like these girls years ago..i am so glad i didn't settle for unworthy boys

[@Akeswill]

Ryan loved Maci and he hasn’t been right since she left

[@joshallen-kz7vv]

Yup....

[@joshallen-kz7vv]

Puppy love turned maci into a woman

[@colleenmcnally9418]

As much as I love Maci,I dont see that! He seemed in love with alot if the girls after they split.and he seems to love his wife Mackenzie.

[@Kingdom_lyfestylesCervantes]

Very true

[@ceeset5472]

Hes not happy with Mckenzie. Maci made him accountable for his actions. She was also his rock that he needed. Mckenzie just lets Ryan do whatever and baby him

[@bethanyjohns9943]

30:20 😭😭😭 Taylor’s roast on Farrah

[@kimberly11091]

Lmaooooo loved that roast

[@hannahohlinger1768]

Maci is my favorite. i think she and chelsea are the best moms. and damn maci's genes are strong all 3 kids look just like her

[@cadavher]

Maci is a spitting image of her mom & Taylor looks identical to his father.

[@toricentilli1065]

I was diagnosed with PCOS 4 years ago and just had my daughter December 23. I can sympathize with the symptoms, the missed periods, the long periods, the pain, the mood swings, trying to have a baby for so long and wondering why it isn't happening. It's the worst feeling. I hope more research is done and we can get more information.

[@amandaweaver5964]

Maci with Short hair was honestly my favorite out of all of her hairstyles.

[@briannahamilton9426]

Yes! LOVED when it was short and blonde! 👩🏼

[@henrysmith180]

She looked smashing!!

[@justjoannak]

Ugh, agree. Her short, red hair was my fave

[@MHS8807]

Why do teenage boys never have sheets on their bed? When I started dating my husband he rarely had a bottom sheet and never had a top sheet 🥺😳🙄

[@raleemay]

😂😂

[@urmamasmamasmama]

🤣🤣I was thinking the same

[@NetK-J]

You are doing amazing work for PCOS sufferers Maci, unfortunately I have been dealing with it for 24yrs now. Its great to see Brisbane city hall(Australia) wearing the colours proud.

[@hotmessmama894]

Maci is my fav! Definitely the most level headed & mature of the bunch

[@erinb5461]

I have pcos and I love that she is fighting for it to be more informed! Go maci!

[@lucyfaye567]

Yes! My sister had PCOS and sadly she passed away 21 years ago from complications of this horrible disease. Of course, back then there was no awareness and treatments were definitely lacking. So thankful that Maci has worked so hard to bring awareness. Best wishes to you!🙂

[@destinythomas5537]

Probably my favorite teen mom of all time. Its crazy how she’s older than me but I feel like a virtual mom or aunt to her. Watching her and her son grow is just beautiful

[@being.prettyme]

The wedding scene made me cry 🥺

[@cokitos14]

damn shes really amazing, so happy to see her as an advocate for PCO

[@cassandrag0th819]

I have endometriosis and it took years of doctors for just one doctor to believe the pain I was in. Because of my endometriosis, I’ve had 2 miscarriages. And I completely understand what she’s talking about with anxiety and irritability. I’m so irritable and mean sometimes because of the amount of pain I’m in. I love that she opened up about her experiences 💛

[@aneshaelizabeth]

I really don’t like how the adoption counselor used the word “damage” do describe a child. I considered going into the adoption/ foster concentration after I complete my social work degree and one thing we learned is that wording/ verbiage is everything. I wish she would have said “the older child may have experienced trauma and you and your family should prepare for that.”
