Think you can ask a mom when she’s ‘having another one’? Spoiler alert: don’t.

In this Call Waiting mini-episode, Amey (IBCLC), Lauren (labor nurse), and Charity (bodyworker) tackle the surprisingly taboo topic of family size—whether it’s choosing only one child, navigating infertility, or saying snip snip to future kids. With raw honesty and a dash of humor, they dive into fertility struggles, vasectomies, tubals, postpartum mental health, and the not-so-helpful comments from nosy relatives (looking at you, Grandma).

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about parenting decisions, motherhood expectations, or how to shut down intrusive family planning questions with grace (and maybe a laugh), this conversation will hit home.

Tune in for relatable mom truths, real talk on reproductive choices, and a reminder to mind your own business—because every family’s story is unique.

• It's essential to respect individual choices regarding family size.
