Reality TV Star Jessa Duggar Welcomes Fifth Child

Reality TV star Jessa Duggar, known for her appearance on the show Counting On, has announced the birth of her baby boy. This is her fifth child with husband Ben Seewald, coming almost a year after the couple suffered a miscarriage.

Taking to Instagram, Duggar expressed her gratitude, stating, 'Baby is here and we couldn't be more grateful!' She also shared that her birth story is available on her Youtube page for those interested in reading more.

A Heartbreaking Miscarriage Experience

Duggar described her previous miscarriage as a 'missed miscarriage' because her body did not show any signs of the tragedy. It was only at 11 weeks into her pregnancy that she experienced increased morning sickness and some spotting, leading her to seek medical advice. She was devastated to learn that her baby had passed away three weeks prior without her body reacting to the loss.

Reflecting on her experience, Duggar shared, 'It was crazy because my body didn't acknowledge that. I didn't have any signs or symptoms that anything was wrong.'

A Rainbow Baby Brings Joy

In September, Duggar happily announced that she was expecting her 'rainbow baby' after the heartbreaking loss of their previous child. She and Seewald were filled with excitement and anticipation for their new addition to the family.

With four children already, seven-year-old Spurgeon, six-year-old Henry, three-year-old Fern, and one-year-old Ivy, Duggar and Seewald have not yet revealed the name of their fifth child. The family is overjoyed to welcome their newest member.
