'Teen Mom OG' Taylor Selfridge, who originally revealed that she was pregnant with twins on Instagram, recently clarified that she had not suffered miscarriage but instead undergone what is commonly known as "vanishing twin syndrome." 

“I don’t like that people are calling it a miscarriage now. It’s called vanishing twin syndrome or disappearing twin syndrome,” the 25-year-old told Us Weekly. “We went in for a check-up on our baby and they had found a separate empty sac so we didn’t know that we had twins before that.”

Taylor, who became pregnant with 'The Challenge' alum Cory Wharton posted an Instagram Story on Wednesday, November 27, sharing her news with her fans. 

“I’m doing just fine. I’m happy, healthy, our baby is healthy,” she wrote. “A few days after the announcement, we found out we were supposed to actually have twins, I ended up losing one of them. But on the positive side, my baby is healthy! And I’m 19 weeks now.”

When she discovered after a doctor visitation that the couple had lost one of the unborn babies inside Taylor's womb, the 'Ex on the Beach' star admitted that she was upset over the news and felt responsible for her loss. 

“I was so stressed out during the first trimester that I was afraid it was my fault that happened and that’s what I struggle with now,” she shared. “Our baby is very healthy, we have no genetic issues to worry about after testing and we’re very happy about that.”

Wharton also shares a 2-year-old daughter, Ryder, with ex-girlfriend Cheyenne Floyd. However, he previously said in an interview that he did not know that he was the father of the child until she was six months old.

“Just being there from the day she found out that she’s pregnant and knowing that it was mine, I knew that I was going to have to step up. It’s exciting for me. It’s gonna be a lot, but I’m excited. I never went to an ultrasound, you know? I never went to the doctor’s appointments to see her check-ups and things like that. So for me, this is like my first baby almost, as weird as that sounds," he said.
