Big announcement: Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Thompson is pregnant with her first child at the age of 17

The teen, whose nickname is Pumpkin, shared a scan of her baby in the womb with the caption: 'So now that the news is out me and josh are expecting a little one. So happy to start this new adventure with him. Love you baby @josh_efird'.

She also gave an interview that same day to WeTV : 'Hey guys, guess what? I'm pregnant!'

'I don't know what I'm having yet,' she admitted, 'but if I had to bet because of all the girls in our family, I'm probably having a girl. Can you imagine another little f**king me running around? You guys are going to be f**ked!'

She went on to add: 'I'm really excited to be a new mom, but there is some challenges that I'm going to have to face. I'm really nervous about having a baby 'cause, I mean, it does have to come out of my hoo-ha.'

'My baby daddy's head is, like, the size of a freakin' watermelon, so imagine trying to push a watermelon out of your vagina. No, it's not OK!'

Lauryn's mother Mama June confirmed to TMZ that her daughter accepted a proposal from Josh, 19, when they went out to dinner on December 23.

The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star planned, at the time, to marry Josh after she turned 18, and the couple were said to be saving themselves for their wedding.

At the time of their engagement the twosome had been dating for nine months.

Last year Pumpkin and her mother both revealed that they are bisexual during an interview with Inside Edition.

When asked if she was sexually drawn to men and women, Mama June replied: 'I am, yes.'

The 36-year-old said she has had three lesbian experiences in a separate interview with TMZ.

Talking in cryptic terms, she said: 'It's no big deal, I was young and experimented with it, never went pro though just played the minor leagues.'

Pumpkin told Inside Edition she is pleased to have a supportive mother. 'I am thankful that I have the support that other people don't have,' she said. 'You cannot hide who you truly are.'

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled in 2014 after it was reported Mama June was dating a convicted child molester who sexually abused one of her relatives.

June allegedly was secretly dating Mark McDaniel, who got out of prison in March after serving 10 years for forcing oral sex on an eight-year-old.
