It was recently confirmed that "Teen Mom OG" star Amber Portwood is pregnant with her second child, and it is her first child with boyfriend Andrew Glennon. However, while many fans have wished her well in this journey of starting up a little family with Glennon, her loved ones seem to have had mixed reactions.

Apparently, a new report reveals that while Portwood's family and friends are happy to see her become an expecting mother with Glennon's baby instead of her ex, they are also concerned about her decision. This is especially because the couple have only been dating for several months.

According to a report by Radar Online, the "Teen Mom OG" star's mother Tonya and her cousin Krystal are excited about the new baby on the way. Yet, her brother Shawn was shocked upon hearing it. The source of the outlet revealed that while he does not have any negative thoughts about his sister's pregnancy, his issue is that he still has not met Glennon.

Fortunately, Shawn believes that Glennon "has a good head on his shoulders" and that he was happy to hear that Glennon has goals in terms of his career as well. The source pointed out that he is doing the right thing to be where he is at the moment, which is making a living.

It is quite understandable that many of Portwood's loved ones are concerned about this sudden life decision. As previously mentioned, they had only been dating for a few months and have not spent as much time together. They did not confirm that they were dating until the middle of August either.

Although Portwood and Glennon have not yet made their relationship known on "Teen Mom OG" just yet, they did make their public appearance together at the red carpet of the MTV Video Music Awards in August. The couple are also expected to update fans on their baby news as their reality show goes on.

Last week, Portwood confirmed her pregnancy. According to a source for E! News, the couple are excited about their future together. The source went on to say that Glennon has been filming with her in Indiana and that they are going strong.

Portwood tweeted her thanks to the fans who have wished her well and congratulated her. "I'm very excited for my future with Andrew and our little family we are starting together! Love," said the reality star.

She has one child with her ex-boyfriend Gary Shirley, a daughter named Leah, who will be turning nine years old this month.
