My Big Fat Fabulous Life Season 13: Whitney Way Thore shares her thoughts about the process, how she felt, and more

Before the latest episode release, Whitney Way Thore opened up to People Magazine in her July 7, 2025, interview about her pregnancy. Whitney, 41, decided to become a mother and began her journey on her own. For that, she started the artificial insemination process.

Before that, her friends were there for her during the "womb wash." As she has not started the process, TLC star Whitney said that things are now "getting really real." She said that the decision, and now the journey she is on, has been the "most intentional act."

While with her friends, Whitney confessed:

"It was all fun and games when Ashley walked in with a rubber turtle, but now things are getting really real. It was one thing to have my eggs frozen, and this is another. This is actually the most intentional act that I've ever done to try and get pregnant in my life, and it feels weird that I'm doing it alone."

Sharing more about her pregnancy, Whitney Way Thore said that she was "nervous."

As she was about to get on with the insemination, she was hoping to get pregnant. Whitney also said that, since the process had already started, there was no "going back."

The latest My Big Fat Fabulous Life Season 13 features Whitney searching for a sperm donor. Her fertility journey started after she made up her mind about getting pregnant. In terms of her choice and what she has been looking for, Whitney said she was trying not to be "picky."

My Big Fat Fabulous Life star's requirements for the sperm donor were quite simple.

"My criteria for a donor, I feel like, is pretty straightforward and simple. I absolutely do not care what color this child is, what color the eyes are, the hair is," said Whitney.

Her only specific requirement was that the donor should be "healthy" and should not have any "genetic" diseases.
