Her Favorite Thing About 'Teen Mom' Is Changing Lives

When Maci talked to The Stir in 2012, she said, "Looking back at the past three years and hearing every single day that you know I've changed someone's life or I've helped a mom get back in school or I inspired a 16-year-old girl to use birth control, stuff like that, to hear that every day, that's not something that everyone gets to hear." She's totally right!

In the same interview, Maci said, "I more or less see myself as everyone's peer. That's how they view me; they learn through my mistakes. They learn something from me rather than just watching me as entertainment."

Maci may be due with her third child in just a few months, but she only recently found out that she is expecting. In fact, she didn't find out the news until she went to the doctor to get her birth control refilled, right after she and Taylor got engaged. Whoa!

The Key to Co-Parenting With Ryan Is Communication

Maci and Ryan, Bentley's dad, haven't always gotten along, but the key to being the best parents possible for Bentley? Communication. Maci told The Stir in 2013: "The decisions need to be made between us and not necessarily everyone else that is around. Since we've kind of caught on to that and learned to communicate with each other, rather than letting everyone else's opinions get involved, it's made it a lot easier on us, and I think it's made it a lot easier on Bentley too."
