With a new man, a happy home and a baby on the way, life for Teen Mom Leah Messer was looking up — until tragedy struck. "She was having bad cramps for the past two weeks, and then she miscarried," an insider close to the reality star tells OK! exclusively.
For the 19-year-old Teen Mom 2 star from Elkview, West Virginia, it was a heartbreaking end to the start of a brand-new dream. "It's a devastating experience, but all I can do is support Leah and take things day by day," her fiancé Jeremy Calvert tells OK! exclusively. "It's hard, but we will get through it."

In the past two years, Leah has known lots of sorrow. She became pregnant with her twins when she was still in high school and had a very difficult pregnancy. She went into early labor at just six months and remained on strict bed rest for the last trimester of her pregnancy. Although daughter Aleeah suffered no ill effects, her sister Ali has been dealing with health issues.
