The Bringing Up Bates Star Welcomed A New Baby On August 25
Erin and her family became known to audiences through the UP TV series, Bringing Up Bates.

Recently, the couple announced the birth of their seventh child on social media.
At the time, it was noted, “After a long and emotional labor, our miracle arrived. Henry Blythe was born August 25th.” The post continued, asking fans for prayers: “Henry is doing wonderful, but we would so appreciate your prayers for Erin as she continues to recover from some complications.”
Some Fans Think They Should Wait Until They Know More About Erin’s ‘Complications’ To Share Their Thoughts
With Erin’s recent complications, many fans have been sending the family their prayers. However, some have also shown other similar concerns. Taking to social media, one fan noted, “I love a good snark moment, but I’m genuinely concerned for Erin. I really hope she stops having kids after this one.”
As fans noted, Erin, who famously comes from a large family, has also expressed hope in having one of her own. One fan noted that she previously shared she wanted “ten children… to fill up the house.”

This isn’t the first time fans have shown concern for the couple. As previously reported, fans have also been worried about the couple’s finances, including over this past year. That said, other fans suggested that others should wait until more information comes out about the complications to know if Erin’s health really is an issue of concern. Others continued to show concern for Erin’s health or her children. Some comments included:
- “Maybe Josie’s father-in-law should have a big boy talk with Chad about having to raise kids alone bc their wife died during childbirth.”
- “It’s probably an emergency c-section.”
- “I hope she’s doing ok. I noticed no one in the family is posting.”
- “I’m not concerned for her. I am concerned for her children. For a whole host of reasons.”
- “I hope a doctor sternly tells Chad and Erin ‘enough is enough.’”
- “It just sucks to think of what could happen to her children if god forbid she dies in childbirth.”
- “[Complications] may not have been that bad so to speak. She has a history of quick, easy labors. This complication could have simply been a longer labor and she is wiped more than normal. It might be a piece of placenta broke off and she needed a DnC.”
