Will Tiny Twinz on ‘Little Women: Atlanta’ break-up? Here's why Amanda Salinas wants to work on her solo career

While Amanda desperately wants to have kids of her own, she is terrified of not being able to conceive due to the countless surgeries she had. She explained, "I don’t think I’m overthinking it, because of what I’ve been through with all my surgeries, MRIs, X-Rays, radiation, and everything." In her green room interview, she explained, "My medical rap sheet is long, y’all. I’ve had several surgeries to straighten my legs. I basically lived under X-Rays and MRIs. I’ve been injected with dyes, metals, man you just name it. And all that could affect my ability to get pregnant."

Jordan encourages her to be hopeful and tries reassuring her by suggesting they go see a doctor to get some tests done. Amanda then reveals her fears, "It’s been bothering me for years not knowing if I can have kids or not. But to be honest, I’ve secretly been putting it off because I’m terrified if they’re gonna tell me that I can’t. And that would crush me and Jordan, too.”

The doctor reveals that Amanda's test results looked fine, and then he asks them about their birth control plan. The reality star then reveals that the couple isn't using any contraceptive, and has been trying to get pregnant for the past six years. The doctor then expresses concerns when he hears that a young couple like them hasn't been able to conceive for so long despite not using any birth control. Amanda was shattered on hearing it and begins to have the thought that she can't have any children of her own.

When fans watched Amanda's pain, they began feeling sorry for her. A fan tweeted, "I hate to see Amanda in tears and emotional about not having kids of her own!! #LWATL #LittleWomenAtlanta #LittleWomenATL." "Hope @amanda_tinytwin is able to have a child one day! She and Jordan would make great parents! #littlewomenatl #littlewomenatlanta," wrote another fan. "Amanda will get the chance to have a baby and she will be an amazing mother no matter what! #LittleWomenAtlanta," echoed a fan.
