*The View* producer Brian Teta got an eyeful — as did viewers at home — when three cohosts motioned toward their privates during a discussion about childbirth.
During a Thursday morning Hot Topics chat about the backlash *SmartLess* podcast host Jason Bateman received after questioning pop star Charli XCX over her decision to not have children, Sara Haines revealed that colleague Joy Behar once jokingly jabbed her for birthing more kids after her first baby.
"I remember thinking after I had one, I'm not doing this again," Behar, 83, said of having only one child, before Haines, 48, cut in to recall Behar asking, "Why would you do that again?" when she got pregnant after the birth of her first of three eventual children.**

"She did it three times," Behar said, to which Haines replied, "Well, we did it more than that, but there were three babies!"
The audience laughed as Haines continued the energy, exclaiming, "At this point, they fall out," while motioning downward before apologizing to an in-studio audience member. "Sorry for the man in the front that just got the visual of my..."
Haines trailed off and subsequently apologized to her producer. "Sorry, Brian!" she said.

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg, 70, then got in on the action, making a similar hand gesture as she asked, "Did she just call it a..." as the camera cut to Teta, who shook his head and grimaced over the developments at the Hot Topics table.
Sunny Hostin, 57, also joined in, mimicking the gesture toward her privates while adding, "She made, like, a motion!"

It was announced earlier this week that the last remaining cohost at Thursday's table to become a parent, Alyssa Farah Griffin, will soon go out on maternity leave beginning Feb. 17, as she prepares to welcome her first child with husband Justin Griffin.
Former panelist Elisabeth Hasselbeck will return to the panel in Griffin's temporary absence, after recently publicly slamming both Behar's criticism of Donald Trump inauguration performer Carrie Underwood and the show itself as a "sinking" entity.
*The View* airs weekdays on ABC.
