Bringing Up Bates personality Erin Bates has marked a significant health milestone, expressing openness to expanding her family. This comes nearly a year after she experienced severe complications following the birth of her and husband Chad Paine's seventh child, Henry.
Bates shared during a recent Q&A that she is open to having more children if her health is not a concern, stating, "Without a doubt, yes!" She and Paine, married since 2013, view raising children as their "highest calling." Adoption is also being considered as a possibility for their family.
In August of last year, Bates was hospitalized in intensive care due to a severe urinary tract infection and kidney infection that led to septic shock. Her husband later reported that she had also suffered a "lengthy and severe" seizure.
