Exes Kody Brown<\/strong><\/a> and Meri Brown<\/strong><\/a> reflected on their fertility issues \u2014 and pregnancy struggle \u2014 while looking back at past Sister Wives<\/em><\/a> episodes.<\/p>\n

\u201cRetrospectively, I\u2019m really glad we didn\u2019t have more children,\u201d Kody, 54, revealed on the Sunday, December 24, episode of the Sister Wives Special: Look Back, Where We Started<\/em>. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t have been good for the child because Meri and I weren\u2019t healthy then<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

During Sunday\u2019s episode, Kody and Meri, 52, watched clips from 2012 in which they were optimistic about doing invitro fertilization (IVF) in hopes of expanding their family. The pair previously welcomed their only child, Leon<\/a><\/strong>, in July 1995.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just freaks me out to go through that again. I want to have another baby. I would love that,\u201d Meri said in the throwback episode. Kody was also on board with the idea at the time, saying, \u201cWhen we\u2019re dying when we\u2019re 110, we\u2019ll look back and we\u2019ll be glad we did the IVF.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former couple, who announced their split in January<\/a> after more than 30 years together, then watched a clip from 2013. Within that year, they had changed their tune about having more kids \u2014 or at least Kody had.<\/p>\n

When Meri asked, \u201cDo you want to have another baby with me or do you not?\u201d Kody confessed, \u201cI would do it if it just happened.\u201d He noted that \u201cbecause of the stakes, I\u2019m not burning in my gut to do it.\u201d At this point, the pair had suffered a miscarriage in the mid-2000s after trying for more than a decade.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring that time, it was more realization that our marriage is not really healthy,\u201d Kody explained while looking back at the two moments.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKody Brown started off his married life with Meri Brown (n\u00e9e Barber), whom he wed in 1990. The Sister Wives stars expanded their family in 1993 and 1994 when Kody spiritually wed Janelle Brown and Christine Brown, respectively. In July 1995, Meri and Kody became parents to Leon. After trying to have a second child, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Meri had a similar recollection of that period<\/a>, telling the cameras, \u201cKody and I were in a slightly tumultuous time.\u201d Despite their ups and downs romantically, Meri shared, \u201cI really wanted to have more than just one,\u201d noting that it took her and Kody five years to have Leon.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Meri has spoken out about her fertility issues. In May, she shared an emotional message about her past miscarriage, which happened before she and Kody talked about another round of IVF in the aforementioned clips.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIt has been a difficult road to parenthood for many celebrity parents, including Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. After in vitro fertilization didn\u2019t work on the first try, Teigen wondered if she had done something wrong. \u201cYou just look for anything to blame, especially yourself,\u201d Teigen explained to New York Magazine\u2019s The Cut in April [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cToday was a travel day for me, and as I was driving through this town tonight, I saw a group of three teenage-looking boys, maybe 15 or 16 years old, walking down the street, hands in pockets, chit chatting away, and I just had to smile and almost sort of giggle to myself,\u201d Meri wrote via Instagram<\/a> at the time. \u201cIt was a fun, and even bittersweet, moment for me, realizing that had my baby survived, he might be engaging in that same sort of teenaged banter, and having those same sort of memorable teenaged moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
