Reality stars open up about complications during pregnancy
Erin and Chad are more than ecstatic about being pregnant again as the former has suffered several health complications in the past.
Before welcoming her son Carson, the mother of four had many miscarriages due to her blood-clotting condition, which had reduced the chances of her having children in the future.
Talking about the same, Chad said: “We were content knowing that God sometimes has a different plan than our own. As you can imagine, we were absolutely blown away when we found out the good news and really in shock!”
In February 2021, Erin took to Instagram to detail her health complications. She revealed in her post that she had undergone three surgeries in a matter of few months due to cysts that “ruptured and caused a lot of internal bleeding.”
