Others are simply commenting that they hope Brandon and Michaela get to have their own family soon. In response to some of these comments, Michaela simply wrote, “I am not pregnant.”

It’s safe to assume that Michaela and Brandon will announce a pregnancy, adoption, or another addition to their family if the time is right. For now, they are not expecting.

Fans feel heartbroken over her new response and constant questions.

On RedditBringing Up Bates fans are discussing fans’ decision to ask this question over and over again. They don’t think it’s appropriate, especially because Michaela and Brandon have been open about their fertility struggles. One fan writes, “It must be so hard not being able to post any photos without people having to point out the fact that you can’t have children or speculate that you’re pregnant.”

Someone says, “I just don’t understand people writing something like that on someone they don’t know and knowing full well she is having fertility issues. Good lord, people suck.”

Fans are also applauding Michaela for maintaining a patient attitude while responding to her followers’ questions. One fan writes, “idk how she patiently replies to all these fans constantly asking if she’s pregnant because I would have snapped on someone by now.”

  1. I think it is insensitive to ask. Not just in Michaela’s situation but with all people unless you have a relationship with them where they wouldn’t be offended e.g. by the fertility Doctor or a family member/friend who Michaela or Brandon have been confiding in about the situation. It is a question that has seemed ok to ask for so many years that in most cases people don’t realise that it can be insensitive so we need to kindly educate those who need to be updated.

  2. Its not a marathon to have children, a I know she would love too, something’s are in Gods timing only.

    Ether be by have a bundle of joy or by adopted child that needs love of a mother and father.

    Either way they child wins with 2 absolutely adoring parents .

  3. I was hoping one of her sisters would have one for Michela and Brandon. They
    are all An Amazing Family. I too went thru fertility issues and l had told my mom
    when l get big l want to adopt a baby and We Did. Our Daughter is the Best! We got her 33 years ago. What a gift from God. Hang in there guy’s.

    Love you all.

  4. you never ask someone that who has been struggling with Infertility. when and if she is pregnant it’s likely the announcement will be a long way into the pregnancy because having a history of Infertility and miscarriage is scary. I pray every day that God blesses them with a baby soon they have so much love to give. I hope they find happiness along whatever path to parenthood God chooses for them
