[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] Amber Portwood is getting seriously candid about never-before-heard details of her life in her new memoir, So, You’re Crazy Too?

And by candid, we mean multiple pregnancies she kept secret for years! Wow. The Teen Mom star’s book was released on Tuesday, and she used the opportunity to open up about two secret pregnancies, one that ended in a “devastating” abortion and one that ended in miscarriage.

This book is not for the faint of heart. Related: Watch Amber Portwood Storm Off Teen Mom OG Reunion Set After Explosive Argument With Ex Gary Shirley! To start, the 31-year-old admitted that while MTV cameras were filming in 2010, she was hiding a pregnancy — but the father wasn’t her ex Gary Shirley, whom she was arrested for assaulting around that time.

They share 13-year-old daughter Leah Leann Shirley. While they were broken up, she linked up with an unnamed “heroin addict,” resulting in an unplanned pregnancy, she unveiled: Knowing that she couldn’t care for another child at that time, she considered abortion, though she was very hesitant about the possibility at first, saying: Ultimately, that was the very difficult route she decided to take, adding: The 16 & Pregnant alum claimed that her drug use — which she’s been accused of while pregnant with her 3-year-old son James Glennon whom she shares with ex Andrew Glennon — may have led to the decision, noting: She then shared that she “had nightmares about abandoning [her] unborn child” and “cried uncontrollably for weeks afterward.” She also “didn’t sleep and lost a lot of weight.” We cannot imagine how emotional that decision must have been — and then to keep it secret from the world adds a whole other level of complications.
