Erin Bates Paine is in the ICU.
Just one week earlier, she and her husband, Chad Paine, had welcomed their seventh child.
For years, the Bringing Up Bates alum’s childbirths have been difficult and risky.
But she became pregnant again. She gave birth again. And now, her family is asking for prayers.
When Erin Bates gave birth to baby #7, it was not without ‘complications’
Erin Bates Paine is in the ICU and her family is taking to Instagram to ask fans to pray for her.
The Bringing Up Bates alum and her husband, Chad, welcomed their seventh child, Henry, on August 25.
Chad took to the couple’s shared account to explain that Erin remains under medical care due to “complications.”
On Sunday, August 31, Chad once again took to social media to detail his wife’s septic shock and more.
“It’s been a week since our miracle, Henry came into the world,” he wrote.
“He is doing well in the NICU and is our bundle of happiness.”
Chad continued: “We had asked for prayer for recovery for Erin due to complications. Her labor was longer and more intense than previous births.”
An infection ‘sent her into septic shock’
“Erin developed a severe UTI and kidney infection,” Chad revealed, “which sent her into septic shock.”
He updated: “She is currently still in the ICU as doctors continue to treat, diagnose, and search for answers.”
Chad concluded the caption:
“We would covet your prayers for this beautiful girl who is such a light in a dark world.
Social media users have responded with astonishment that Erin would even attempt at another child, given her long history of difficulties.
Erin has a clotting disorder. In 2015, she welcomed her first son, Charles, but had suffered three miscarriages before that.
She went on to welcome Brooklyn, Everly, and Holland.
It seemed that they’d stop there, giving her many health issues.
Many fans did not expect her to risk a seventh child
In the process of treating cysts, doctors removed one of Erin Bates’ ovaries entirely.
They also partially removed another.
And yet they had William in 2022, Finley in 2023, and now Henry in 2025.
Fans expressing dismay at this should remember that the Bates family is part of a fertility cult just like the Duggars. In the family ideology, this is arguably Erin’s purpose. Even if it claims her life.
We earnestly hope that she makes a full recovery and that this health crisis never repeats itself.

Tammy Slaton appreciates your concern.
But she would like everyone to know that she’s doing just fine at the moment.
Over this past weekend, the 1000-Lb. Sisters cast member shared a video of herself and fiancée Andrea Dalton singing along to Kenny Loggins’ Footloose in the car, but it wasn’t the couple’s vocals that got folks talking.
It was Tammy’s appearance.
“Are you OK?” one user commented underneath the August 28 TikTok footage. “What happened to your chin?”
In response, the veteran reality star simply explained, “I had teeth pulled.”
Indeed, we previously reported on this being the case.
Late last month, Slaton confirmed she had undergone a procedure to fix a sizable gap toward the front of her mouth.
“They’re temporary still,” the 39-year old said on a recent podcast, referring to her teeth. “But they had to cement them in because the glue wasn’t holding — well, my body was rejecting it. But they had to pull teeth.”
According to Tammy, the bridge — which is a false tooth that’s anchored to adjacent natural teeth to bridge the gap in an individual’s smile — has made a slight change in her voice.
“I have a lisp now,” she said on the August 19 episode of the Creative Chaos podcast. “It will go away eventually. The only way I think my voice might have changed is cause I’m happier.”
Slaton added during this interview that she has more work to get done, emphasizing that “it’s a process.”
Tammy is accustomed to having patience and going through processes, however, having shed hundreds of pounds over the last two years.
She truly looks like a different person at this point.
On the outside, that is.
On the inside, Tammy still is unafraid to speak her mind.
“Haters make me famous,” said a couple weeks ago when it comes to her critics, following up on the criticism she received in the past over her teeth.
“With all due respect, I wish people like you would stop commenting crap like this,” Slaton said in a January 2024 TikTok video, addressing social media trolls.
“It’s not helping my confidence. I was trying to keep my confidence boosted and seeing comments about my chin or my teeth doesn’t help.”
She continued back then:
“I’m trying to better my life and better myself. We should be lifting up people. It doesn’t matter if I’m missing teeth.”
Aside from her ongoing journey to achieve the ideal smile, Tammy’s latest video marks her first since the tragic passing of her and Amy Slaton’s cousin Katie Slaton — who appeared alongside her cousins on the TLC series on multiple occasions — following a battle with stage 4 cancer.
“It is with a completely crushed heart and spirit that I have to post this,” Tammy and Amy’s sister Amanda Halterman wrote on Instagram August 26.
“My little cousin went to sit at the feet of Jesus yesterday. She was a force to be reckoned with and showed love that was accepting and given freely. She was the life of the party and my best friend.

Anna Duggar is sharing some wildly uncommon glimpses of her children.
Specifically, she’s sharing photos and videos of her daughters — most recently, of 15-year-old Mackynzie.
These days, Anna and her kids seldom make appearances while Josh continues to grudgingly serve his sentence.
But she made an exception. And maybe a bit of a quiet social media comeback in the process.
Anna Duggar rarely shows her children these days
Over the Labor Day long weekend, Anna Duggar took to her company’s Instagram page to share a video of 15-year-old Mackynzie Duggar spending time with a 6-week-old puppy by the name of Ms. Gray.
It was, of course, an advertisement for Golden Grove Pups.
“We have a few pups left… ready to go home soon!” the caption teased. “DM for more info.”
Mackynzie is the eldest of the seven children that Anna shares with the disgraced former reality star.
Josh is currently serving his 151-month sentence on federal child sex-abuse materials (CSAM) charges.
He downloaded photos and video that evil men made of terrible things happening to young girls — and, fortunately, he put all of his effort into hiding his efforts from his wife and not from the United States government.
Why suddenly let the kids resurface now?
This past winter, we reported that Anna Duggar is working a controversial new job. This is the job in question.
And yes, the breeding and selling of dogs is deeply polarizing.
But one supposes that Anna has no actual life skills or professional qualifications or education to speak of, and cannot possibly have more stigma than she does by remaining married to her evil husband.
To be blunt, she needs to have a job to avoid being as broke as Josh.
With this being Anna’s very own business, is it really surprising that she’s using her children to promote it?
Earlier in August, the cult member took to her business’ Instagram page to share another video. This one was of 5-year-old Maryella and 3-year-old Madyson.
The video was also to showcase puppies, but Anna had to know that her children will garner wider attention than puppies.
That’s not normally the case on the internet, but seldom-seen children of an infamous family are an exception.
Hey, is this the house that Jim Bob bought?
This past April, we at THG reported that Jim Bob Duggar had purchased a new $1 million home with multiple bedrooms and a sprawling property.
At the time, there was widespread speculation that he had purchased the residence for Anna.
Anna and her seven children had previously occupied what was essentially a warehouse unit on the Duggar compound.
Anna did not exactly doxx herself when posting these videos.
But many fans infer that these glimpses at what appears to be the interior of a real house are of that very six-bedroom property.

For millions of Americans, Labor Day weekend is a time to bid the summer adieu with a few cold ones.
Unfortunately, some folks enjoy one cold one too many and then get behind the wheel.
That’s allegedly what happened (or something along those lines) with Succession star Nicholas Braun, who was arrested for DUI in New Hampshire over the weekend.
Cousin Greg’s awkward weekend
According to a report obtained by People magazine, Braun was pulled over and taken into custody on suspicion of “DUI-impairment” by police in Moultonborough.
Braun, who portrayed fan favorite Cousin Greg on the hit HBO drama, has yet to publicly comment on the situation.
He was released on his own recognizance and was not required to post bail.
Insiders say no mugshot was taken as the police department’s camera wasn’t functioning on the night of his arrest.
It’s a lucky break for the 37-year-old star who will likely find it that much easier to move on from this situation without a visual record following him around.
What’s next for Nicholas Braun?
Braun is due back in court later this year, but the lack of bail indicates that he’ll probably get off with a slap on the wrist if he’s convicted.
In addition to his role on Succession, Braun has appeared in such films as Sky High, Minutemen, and Princess Protection Program.
He recently portrayed both Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson in the film Saturday Night, based on the early days of Saturday Night Live.
Braun also appears in the new comedy Splitsville, which just hit theaters last week.
Details of his arrest are scarce at the moment, but we’re guessing more will come to light when Braun returns to Moultonborough for his court date.
In the meantime, he’ll probably keep mum for legal reasons.
We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Last week, we reported on the cast members who are departing Saturday Night Live ahead of the show’s 51st season.
Today, we offer a more encouraging update, as the iconic sketch show has announced the addition of five new stars!
Yes, the new class of featured players has been revealed, and fans will be pleased to see one very familiar face among its ranks.
‘Please Don’t Destroy’ alum one of five new featured players
Ben Marshall has been appearing on SNL for several years as a member of the comedy troupe Please Don’t Destroy.
But now, the 30-year-old actor and comic will be appearing in sketches alongside the main cast.
It’s unclear why Marshall’s scene/writing partners weren’t promoted along with him (it’s possible that they’re both content with their current gigs), but interestingly, Marshall is the only member of PDD with no familial ties to the industry.
(John Higgins is the son of SNL producer and Jimmy Fallon sidekick Steve Higgins, while Martin Herlihy is the son of frequent Adam Sandler collaborator Tim Herlihy.)
Also joining the cast for season 51 are popular social media star Veronika Slowikowska (who has more than 1 million followers on Instagram), and comics Tommy Brennan, Jeremy Culhane, Ben Marshall, Kam Patterson.
It seems that producer Lorne Michaels is hoping to take the show in a younger, hipper direction as it enters its sixth decade.
He may have hit the jackpot with a quintet of stars who have already built sterling reputations for themselves on social media.
“Dream come true … see you Saturdays,” Slowikowska wrote on Instagram today.
We can’t wait.
