Several Redditors also reacted to Erin’s statements, and many are glad that she’s prioritizing her health.
- “I’m glad she’s taking her health seriously. I’m sure it was quite the shock.”
- “Erin saying that they will not have more kids means to me that it is medically impossible for her to have another. Otherwise she would have had to change her believes and I doubt that. Might also be the shock of almost dying speaking there but that shock will pass with time. If this is the case, there will be another pregnancy.”
- “I have been wondering since the whole thing happened if she had a hysterectomy as part of the attempts to save her life, just something in those first photos made me wonder.”
- “Good for her! Hopefully they have taken steps to ensure he is their last as well.”
- “How can she guarantee that? NFP? I don’t see her getting her tubes tied.”
- “Hopefully they stick to that. They were told after the first one to wait at least a year but didn’t listen. Those kids don’t deserve to lose their mother all because their parents want to keep having kids.”
