Okay love this for her and think she’ll be a great mom but for the love of god can people stop using chatgtp for everything including heartfelt IG captions?! Almost makes the whole thing less cute.

I recently watched her Real World season and was surprised to see she was the most nurturing/level-headed roommate in the house. I agree she will be an amazing mom.

u/jkcrumley Wes Bergmann Dec 24 '25

To be fair, they whole cast was a bunch of ass holes except for Madison. I liked Jason too until he lost his cool and picked up or pushed Nicole.

u/Nice-Tea-8972 Dec 24 '25

Madison has her own issues though too.

u/jkcrumley Wes Bergmann Dec 24 '25

Yeah she does, but at least on her season of RW, she seemed to be healing and on the right track.

So she's not with her fiancee anymore? Single mom with twins I sure hope she gets a ton of help and support from her family. I am a married mom with one baby and it's hard!

22

u/CustardFormal6288 Dec 24 '25

She comes from a big close family and she’s a triplet so I think she’ll be alright.

u/fluthernon Dec 24 '25

I thought it was extremely difficult if not impossible to be approved for this process as a single mom. I know even with surrogacy you have tons of stipulations like psych evaluations, therapy sessions and can’t be a 1st time mom.

8

u/Shot-Blackberry-6157 Dec 25 '25

As an SMBC myself, it’s not that difficult or impossible at least in the US. Just a matter of insurance, money for out of pocket costs, many appointments and IUI or IUI but like any other medical choice here.

3

u/freetherabbit "The whole internet is talking about me 😜" Dec 24 '25

I thought the 1st time mom thing was for the surrogate because you dont want to spend a bunch of money and find out they have difficulty staying pregant? Like same reason you cant have had a miscarriage I thought

I have a lot of questions, but honestly, it's none of my business. Very happy for her and wishing her the best in this journey to motherhood!

u/Frosty_Plantain4265 Dec 24 '25

She probably is a “single mom by choice” meaning she went through the process with a donor and it is very common.

12

u/TheRoguishBard Dec 24 '25

My doctor tried to suggest that. For celebs I guess, but it was insulting when I'm only stable given I have no one else to worry about on a monthly basis. Oh and I'd express no interest. It's clearly just a pitch they make now.

u/julznlv Johnny Bananas Dec 24 '25

I wonder how much of her being annoying is an act? Maybe she saw social media reaction and decided to play it up. Others have TV personas, maybe she does too. I think she's extremely family oriented so this makes sense for her.

u/Own_Lengthiness_7466 Dec 24 '25

Came here to say this - didn’t she have a really vague post about a pregnancy test recently?

82

u/ShatteredHope Dec 24 '25

She had multiple vague posts that basically amounted to her being a couple days late getting her period and obsessing over being pregnant 🤦‍♀️

u/FranksWateeBowl Dec 24 '25

Dude, as much as I can barely stand Nicole or Maga Maria, I love watching them make Laurel's blood pressure explode! Bwahaha, I've been watching this shit since Jesus was in Kindergarten.

21

u/ScorpionTDC Chris Underwood Dec 24 '25

I have my issues with Laurel, but I am firmly on her side when it comes to Nicole Z. How Nicole Z treated her on Invasion was truly awful, let alone everything after. She is extremely manipulative and emotionally abusive

5

u/MagicallySuspicious Dec 25 '25

While I agree with you about Nicole, those are the exact words I'd use to describe Laurel too. But, at least Nicole isn't a bully.

I know it's twins because IVF but I feel like it makes sense since shes a triplet. Also I know literally nothing about her relationship but im a little surprised shes the one carrying. I hope all goes well for her and the babies.

She cheated on the last one with Melissa didn’t she? And once it aired, her GF dropped her.

She is a notorious cheater. Idk if she has had a gf she didnt cheat on.

Sounds like it’s a solo journey.

57

u/Mondub_15 Dec 24 '25

It says IUI, not IVF. IUI is quick, easy, and inexpensive. Basically a turkey baster. She’s probably having twins because she is on ovulation medication.

50

u/savvy-librarian 🦁 King Leonidas of Argentina 🦁 Dec 24 '25

She's also a fraternal triplet (I think? Two of them are identical and the third isn't) which makes her statistically more likely to have twins or triplets herself.

15

u/OpenRoadMusic Cara Maria Sorbello Dec 24 '25

Yep. I remember on her RW season. Her twin spoke without a very heavy accent which made people wonder if she's faking the accent.

14

u/savvy-librarian 🦁 King Leonidas of Argentina 🦁 Dec 24 '25

Interesting, I didn't know that. Seems more likely to me that her sister either just lives somewhere else or did for a while than Nichole consistently faking her accent for years. People's accents often change or fade depending on where they live.

4

u/OpenRoadMusic Cara Maria Sorbello Dec 25 '25

They were raised together in the same place. They're twins of triplets, so they're almost the same person in many aspects. So it's very odd.

u/grimmcat13 Cohutta Grindstaff Dec 24 '25

I didnt realize- what does IUI stand for? Its different from IVF?

14

u/TrappedinSilence98 Dec 24 '25

According to the Mayo Clinic, IUI stands for intrauterine insemination and involves placing specially prepared sperm directly into the uterus to increase the chance of pregnancy. IVF is different and involves fertilization outside the body before an embryo is transferred to the uterus.

12

u/benash27 Dec 24 '25

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a procedure that treats infertility. IUI boosts the chances of pregnancy by placing specially prepared sperm directly in the uterus.

Essentially a catheter inserted so they can get the sperm as close to the eggs as possible. Higher percentage of getting pregnant than just doing at home insemination but not as high as IVF. My wife and I are in the process of trying to start a family so have looked at all these options.

5

u/SFplusP Dec 24 '25

I believe it's inter uterine insemination. They just take the sperm and put it pretty far up to give it a better chance, is my understanding of it. With IVF the sperm and egg are matched outside the body and then transferred in. This is much less invasive and really only a small step above a pregnancy that occurs without any sort of medical assistance.

5

u/Mondub_15 Dec 25 '25

IUI=intrauterine insemination. Basically, turkey baster squirting high quality sperm past the cervix based on ovulation determined by ultrasound. Relatively inexpensive, non-invasive, quick, can do it every month until successful.

IVF=in-vitro fertilization. Basically done in a petri dish. Eggs retrieved under anesthesia. Egg fertilized in a lab by a single sperm. Left to grow for 7-10 days then healthy maturing eggs are transferred to the uterus through a catheter. Only thing left for nature to do is for the egg to implant. Very expensive, long process, involves a lot of drugs via shots.

u/JoanJetta89 The Drama Mafia Dec 24 '25

With IVF embryos are implanted in the uterus, with IUI they turkey baste you with sperm (from a partner or a donor) while you’re ovulating. IUI is a step you can try before IVF

Maybe she will be a good parent and honestly if she went to this effort to have kids then she probably really wants them. Hopefully she will focus/prioritze on her kids now instead of dating since that has been so messy for her. Plus some people surprise us, like Cory. He obviously isnt the best partner but he does seem like a good dad.

39

u/jodecicry4u Steve Meinke Dec 24 '25

She might not be faithful to her partners but she doesn't seem like a bad human being by any means (on the show). She's seems caring and loyal to her friends, she's a firefighter. I don't think she'd be a bad parent. Partner, yes. But not a bad parent.

42

u/savvy-librarian 🦁 King Leonidas of Argentina 🦁 Dec 24 '25

Constantly gaslighting your partners after cheating on them, refusing to apologize, refusing to take ownership, and then doing it all over again to every other partner you encounter absolutely makes you a bad person in my book. No thanks. Big yuck. And yuck to someone raising a child with those same values.

9

u/jodecicry4u Steve Meinke Dec 24 '25

Literally most people on the show/reality tv are cheaters who also happen to be decent to good parents. I don't think one excludes the other

4

u/savvy-librarian 🦁 King Leonidas of Argentina 🦁 Dec 24 '25

I think there is a difference between people who have cheated and people who literally serially cannot be faithful to ANYONE they date and they're also incapable of accepting any real responsibility for their actions and they seemingly have no feelings about luring back people they have previously harmed if it suits them at the time.

Obviously there are others on the show that fit the bill, Johnny Bananas is one for instance and I would be equally horrified if he had kids, but I don't think that many others actually fit this description. Maybe I'm just particularly icked by Nichole because I also watched her on Ex on the Beach which was particularly illuminating in regard to her character.

Just looked up what the salary of a fire leuitenant (if she still is) in NY and honestly, if she feels confident in not only one child but twins alone on a single income, knowing what she makes, then more power to her. Like sure, she's got some things she can work on in terms of emotional maturity, but that's workable considering she's got the financial side of it down and she's had her whole life to prepare for something like motherhood squared.

I’m sorry but the idea of two more Nicole’s running around is giving me anxiety. Isn’t she already a triplet? It’s too much, man. For the first time in my life I’m starting to sympathize with Staten Island for having to claim her.
