In December 2019, Schumer spoke candidly on the Informed Pregnancy and Parenting Podcast about her decision to have a hospital c-section at 39 weeks, after originally seeking a doula-assisted delivery at a birthing center.
"I was throwing up through the first hour of my c-section. It's supposed to take about an hour and a half — mine took over three hours because of my endometriosis," she said, "and that was really scary."

Though the Trainwreck actress compared her c-section recovery to "torture," she said the relief that she felt after giving birth was unmatched — her hyperemesis symptoms instantly faded.
"I had a fresh c-section which had complications [but] I was just so happy," she said. "I mean, other than just having a baby, which a couple of people told me the day you give birth is the best day of your life, and that was true for me, but that relief."

In August, Schumer said that she and Fischer, 41, are unlikely to have any more children together.
"I decided that I can't be pregnant ever again," she said on Sunday Today with Willie Geist. "We thought about a surrogate, but I think we're going to hold off for right now."
Regardless, Schumer said that she's enjoying every moment she has with her son.
"Life is so much more beautiful," she said on the show of motherhood. "He's the best thing in my life."
