Love After Lockup season 5 released episode 49 on November 29, 2024. Titled High Risk Lies, the episode saw Justine dealing with her high-risk pregnancy. The episode also documented Joey testing positive in a drug test and Melissa finding her wedding suspicious.
When Michael and Justine went to the OB-GYN, the doctor told them that they needed to deliver the baby soon because it faced the risk of dying inside. The doctor said that if Justine's placenta stopped working, there was a chance that the baby could "die or be a stillbirth inside." However, she assured Justine that at the moment, the baby was fine.
She then told the Love After Lockup star that she needed to deliver her baby that week to ensure that it was healthy. While Justine and Michael agreed to have a delivery when the doctor suggested, Justine teared up and admitted to being scared. The doctor comforted her and told her things would be okay.
Fans of Love After Lockup took to X to react to the news and Justine's reaction to it, with many claiming that Justine and Michael were "the two most selfish individuals."
"Justine and Michael are gonna have to keep having kids to keep this little job of theirs. We’re all tired," said one fan.
Many Love After Lockup fans said Justine shouldn't have gone through with the pregnancy knowing that it was high risk. Others said that they didn't "feel sorry" for the couple because they didn't take the doctor's advice.
"The two most selfish individuals on this season. Justine you can lay there and cry all day long. You shouldn’t have gotten pregnant again and you knew that. Maybe learn what the hell birth control is," another fan said.
"I don't feel sorry for them. They should have let her body heal. Not only for the unborn baby boy but also for the living children. They want the Grandma's to help yet they told her mom they don't really need her," a third one added.
"Justine, YOU CHOSE THIS STRUGGLE! DON'T cry now! You wanted this right?!" another wrote.
"When the recommended that she have her tubes removed. I could see that Micheal was happy knowing he could keep his plumbing. But she should have told him to wear a condom or birth control," an X user wrote.
"I have no sympathy for her or Michael. They ignored the Dr's telling them to stay from each other s*xually. They couldn't put her health & safety as a top priority," another X user said.
"And Micheal still isn’t willing to just get a vasectomy after seeing all Justine is going through," commented one.
"I’m so unfazed by her situation," said another.
What Justine and Michael found out at the doctor's appointment on Love After Lockup season 5 episode 49
When Justine and Michael went to the doctor to check on their baby boy, Justine said that while she was excited about the baby, she was also hurting. In a Love After Lockup confessional, she stated that she was always tired and had trouble climbing a flight of stairs.
The doctor said her colleagues had informed her that Justine was measuring smaller than the normal amount, so she needed to check her. She said that the reality star's baby's growth was less than 7% and the usual was 50%. She added that anything below 10% was dangerous.
When Michael asked what she meant, the doctor said that there was a chance of the baby facing issues inside.
"So if the placenta stops working, the biggest worry is that the baby is not going to get any more nutrients and that the baby could even die or be a stillbirth inside," she explained.
The doctor recommended a delivery to ensure the baby's safety and Justine and Michael agreed. Love After Lockup episodes ahead are to see Justine going into a delivery.
New episodes of Love After Lockup season 5 come out on Fridays, at 8 pm ET, on WeTV.
