In her comments section, fans have been congratulating the Young and Pregnant star on the exciting announcement.

One wrote: "Wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy."

"Congratulations Rachel and your growing family," a second commented.

"You look so good congratulations on ur new little blessing love," a third said.

A fourth wrote: "Congratulations girl you got this your going to have a beautiful family."

RACHEL & DREW

Rachel is no longer with her baby daddy Drew, who was previously taken into custody at Monroe County Sheriff’s Office in Tennessee on April 6, 2022.

He was arrested on charges of homicide and attempted murder.

Drew and Rachel got their claim to fame after appearing on the first season of MTV’s Teen Mom: Young & Pregnant.

The ex-couple dated on and off since February 2019, though for a time the Teen Mom was unsure if Drew was truly the father of her child.

However, Rachel later confirmed his paternity in a January 2020 episode.

By June of 2020, the pair had split for good but maintained a rocky co-parenting relationship.

“Glad we’ve put the past behind us,” Rachel shared on Instagram at the time.

“I know you love our baby girl so much & I’m so happy that your takin the steps to change for the better. Much love for you… (No we are not together & we don’t want to be together but we are friends & co-parenting)," she explained.

Season three of the MTV spinoff showed Drew being released from jail before he entered a treatment facility for recovery.

During a November 2021 episode, Rachel discussed his relationship with his toddler daughter.

“This isn’t the first time that he’s attempted to straighten up his life and now that Hazelee’s getting older, I don’t want her to get hurt if he keeps getting in trouble and isn’t around.

“She doesn’t need to be calling him ‘Dad’ right off the bat [if he comes over to the house] because she doesn’t know who he is," she remarked.

PARENTING BACKLASH

While Rachel is now expanding her family, she has received criticism in the past for some parenting decisions involving her young daughter.

Last year, the reality star uploaded a dance video with her little one onto TikTok.

In the clip, Rachel wore a tight pink shirt cut at the midriff and ripped jeans. 

While wearing a paint-splattered shirt, Hazelee blocked her face with a cell phone.

The MTV star stood behind her little girl as she busted out her dance moves.

Hazelee stood still the entire time while Rachel gyrated to the Eemialj song, Fnf. 

Viewers found the mother/daughter moment inappropriate due to Rachel's risqué dance moves- and accused the TV personality of making her only child film the clip.

"Hazelee, hold the phone while mommy makes a thirst trap," one person suggested Rachel told her daughter.

Another critic added a similar comment: "Hazelee, hold my phone so I can get ratchet real quick."

"It's definitely not the best video for a kid to be in," one person chimed in.

A commentator chimed: "Not the best move as a mother."
