Gypsy Rose Blanchardis free from prison. Now she's everywhere.

Blanchard served eight years in prison for her role in the fatal stabbing of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard, who allegedly suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy and made Blanchard seem to have various health issues.

The Cleveland Clinic describes Munchausen syndrome by proxy, or factitious disorder imposed on another, as a mental illness "in which a person acts as if an individual he or she is caring for has a physical or mental illness when the person is not really sick."

Blanchard was sentenced to 10 years but was granted parole in 2023. Her boyfriend at the time, Nick Godejohn, received a life sentence for killing Blanchard's mother. The case has been explored in numerous documentaries, including HBO's "Mommy Dead and Dearest," and dramatized in the Hulu series "The Act."

In her YouTube video, Blanchard said she has felt a "shift in" herself since she learned of her pregnancy, which made her realize that "none of anything else mattered." She became emotional as she went on to say that she would provide her child with protection, love, and "all of the things that I wished I could have had."

"All of the things I wanted in a mother, I want to give to this baby," she said. "...I just want to be a good mother for my child. I want to be everything my mother wasn't."

Blanchard also addressed critics who she anticipated would say she is "not ready" to be a mom.

"I don't know if anyone's really ready to become a mother," she said. "I don't know anybody that said, 'Okay, I'm ready. I'm doing this.' In my experience, everybody that I ever talked to, they're like, 'It just happened."
