How Motherhood Is Different This Time For Teen Mom OG's Amber

Amber began this Teen Mom OG season pregnant -- nevertheless by the conclusion of the inaugural episode, the Indiana native welcomed son James with her beau Andrew.


“I feel like with James, I’m a full-time mom finally,” she told producers right following the birth, alluding to the fact that Gary was granted primary custody of their daughter once she was younger. “I still feel really horrible about things that happened with Leah, and yes it weighs on my mind. I just feel like, why couldn’t I do this with her? Why couldn’t I be sober?”


Luckily, though, Leah has been taking well to her baby brother, and the siblings already share a strong bond -- despite Leah spending most of her time at her dad’s.


“The number-one thing I love for now is just how Leah’s been reacting to him," Amber mentioned. "The one thing I was worried about was just making sure they had a relationship. I habitually mentioned I’m never having another baby ... [Now] I can’t think of anything else yet my little family member. I could’ve been missing out on this.”


And let’s give credit where credit is due — Andrew played a big role in Amber’s newfound take on motherhood.


“I think the distinction is the people that I was with,” she mentioned of her baby daddies. “I feel like with Andrew, he kinda just saved everything.”
