PARENTS of four, soon-to-be five, Caty (23) and Larry (27) describe home life as "absolute chaos all the time" - and it's easy to see why. Their four daughters - Luna (3), Soleste and Solaris (twins, 2) and Riley (1) - were all born within quick succession and keep their mom and dad on their toes. As Larry told Truly: "Parenting four kids is crazy. Honestly, you're just trying to survive." The couple's family planning journey has not been smooth sailing either. With Caty having endured pregnancy losses and traumatic pregnancies resulting in three C-sections within three years, the couple were advised by their doctor to "wait a longer period of time" before getting pregnant again after Riley. The stakes were high - with Caty's uterine window diagnosed as being high risk and even potentially "fatal" if she were to become pregnant again too soon. But having tried different forms of hormonal birth control, Caty found that it was "not good for [her] body" and instead was practising "natural family planning." This involved taking pregnancy tests and ovulation tests "every day" between pregnancies - but unfortunately the couple found themselves pregnant again "immediately" after Riley was born. Larry and Caty admit that they were "undisciplined" in their approach to tracking Caty's fertility and will be "more structured" in future - adamant that Caty's current pregnancy will be their last. But sharing their story online has stoked a backlash in Caty's comments section, with comments suggesting that she "fell for the anti-birth control propaganda" and others asking: "How are you sure this is your last if you're doing nothing to prevent it?" Larry admits that even his family think their approach is "crazy" - so with Larry's mom Christina and sister Ebony visiting today, will their concern for Caty's health lead to tensions spilling over? Or will Caty and Larry be able to put their fears to bed once and for all?
