Several fans wished Amy well and congratulated her on her little bundle of joy.
EXCITING NEWS
A number of comments simply read: "Congrats Amy."
Others were slightly more excited, and a number of fans inquired about when the little bundle will be arriving.
"When is the baby due? So excited for yall," one fan wrote.
Another commented: "Cant wait until your new son is born."
A third echoed that sentiment, writing: ";Cant wait to see your new little man."
Someone else gushed: "I'm rooting for you Amy. Wishing you and your sister the best. I just found out a few weeks ago I'm pregnant with our first. Hope your little one comes happy and healthy."
HITTING BACK
While the comments on Amy's latest post were overwhelmingly positive, she recently faced a barrage of negativity.
Amy was slammed by fans on Reddit for leaving what looked like a "toilet brush" among her two-year-old son Gage's toys.
The reality star was quick to clap back, explaining that the item was the furthest thing from a toilet brush.
In an Instagram post, Amy came at critics, writing: "Not a toilet bowl brush, it is literally a marshmallow on a stick from a campfire toy set! Wow."
The post included a zoomed-in version of the original photo and a screenshot of the toy set.
Fans were supportive in the comments, defending Amy from critics.
One wrote: "You don't need to explain yourself momma!"
Another added: "You are beautiful and amazing mama and shouldn't have to explain yourself."
A third commenter wrote: "He is so cute and that is a cute campfire set."
Reddit users ripped Amy over the perceived discovery.
One wrote: "Is that a toilet brush... on the floor?"
Another chimed in with: "Jesus, that is a toilet brush laying on the floor!"
Someone else wrote: "God, Amy, what is a toilet brush doing in the living room unless you're letting Gage play with it?"
Others appeared concerned over the general messy state of Amy's home.
One commenter wrote: "I guess showing their nasty home on TV wasn't embarrassing enough, nor encouraged her to change her ways."
Another noted: "It gets worse. Look at the corner baseboard and wall. That looks pretty grungy for a house that you fixed up before you moved in."
MESSY MAMA
Fans have expressed concern for Gage in the past following an episode of 1,000-Pound Sisters in which Amy revealed the extent of her secret hoarding struggles.
During the show, cockroaches and rat feces were found under the boy's crib.
During the show, Amy was moving out of the home into a new one more suitable for her growing family.
