Amy Slaton may not return for another season of "1000-lb Sisters."

The TLC star, who is pregnant with her second child with husband Michael Halterman, opened up about her struggles with filming and future plans during an interview with The Sun after "1000-lb Sisters" Season 3 aired its finale episode Monday.

Speaking from her new home in Morganfield, Kentucky, Tammy Slaton's younger sister claimed that she has not yet signed on for a fourth season and is waiting for the network to get in touch to start negotiations.

However, the 34-year-old reality star admitted she will likely leave the show if producers don't cut down her shooting hours because she feels like a "bad mom" to their 15-month-old son Gage.

"I don't really want to do another season because I'm pregnant, it's just a lot. If they cut down my hours I'll be probably fine," she told the outlet. "But last season, I was working every day for weeks, plus renovating a house, plus Gage, plus Tammy, plus my mom. It was just a lot last year, and I can't do it. I can't discuss how much I get paid, but that's my main job and posting videos on YouTube."

Amy, who has been part of "1000-lb Sisters" for three years now, said being on the show was "easy" at first. However, things changed after she welcomed her first child. According to the reality star, her son needs her, and she feels guilty when she has to send him to his grandmother's home to film.

"I feel like I'm being a bad mom when I'm at work. He's always at granny's when we're filming and stuff. I feel like I'm losing valuable time," Amy added.

When asked when they would start filming Season 4, Amy said she wasn't sure because they haven't heard from TLC yet.

"If they cut me down, and make it more about [sister] Tammy and [brother] Chris, I'll be fine. Give me two days a week. It's just a lot at the minute with Gage and being pregnant, I get tired now," Amy said.

As for what she has loved most about the show, Amy said she loved seeing her son grow and having him captured on video. She also enjoyed looking at herself back in the first season to now.

Amy also gave a shoutout to the show's crew. She said filming can be "stressful" because they had to be on set all day, but she loves their relationship with the crew. However, as a mom, she felt that her child needs more of her attention.

"1000-lb Sisters" Season 3 ended with Tammy surviving a major health scare. She was rushed to the hospital after her reckless behavior of partying and drinking and shortly after she entered a weight-loss rehab facility.

Her brother Chris said Tammy had "taken a turn for the worse" and "had quit breathing."

Tammy was put on a ventilator and in a medically induced coma. She woke up after four days and was subsequently given a tracheotomy — a surgical procedure that creates a hole in the throat to insert a breathing tube — to easily facilitate any future breathing support. She stayed at the hospital for three weeks.

According to Chris, she had already lost 115 pounds after 30 days at the facility.

TLC has not announced yet whether "1000-lb Sisters" will be renewed or canceled.
