Bar Cohen, a former contestant on the reality show "HaAch HaGadol" (The Big Brother), recently shared her complex emotions regarding fertility treatments and expanding her family on Instagram. The post detailed a conversation with friends about their children, which triggered Cohen's own difficult memories of her journey to have a second child.
Cohen recounted how a friend's comment about her needing to get pregnant again brought her to tears, reminding her of the emotional and physical toll of fertility treatments. She has previously been open about her struggles, revealing in March 2025 that she and her husband, Eliab Teti, had been undergoing fertility treatments for months. She spoke about the emotional pain, injections, and disappointments, and in April 2025, she discussed a miscarriage and her fear of not being able to conceive again, also revealing a low ovarian reserve.
In September 2025, Cohen announced a successful pregnancy after undergoing egg retrievals and in-vitro fertilization. Now a mother of two, she described the conflicting feelings of wanting another child while dreading the demanding process required to achieve it. She expressed joy at regaining her personal freedom after giving birth, contrasting it with the pressure of needing to undergo painful procedures and the uncertainty of success.
Cohen explained that the word "must," used by her friends, was particularly upsetting. It wasn't a lack of desire for another child, but an acknowledgment that the path might be difficult due to her age, diminished fertility, and the age gap between her children. She described returning home after the conversation and struggling with the thought of repeating the arduous process, while also remembering her past success in building a family.
