  • Jessa Duggar: Mom Michelle Duggar Got Daughter’s Age Wrong When Calling 911 After Baby Seewald Was Born

    Jessa Duggar Seewald gave birth to a healthy baby boy on Thursday night, but following the home birth she suffered some complications. Mom Michelle Duggar feared Jessa was losing too much blood, so she called 911, and an ambulance arrived to bring Jessa Duggar to the hospital.

    While talking on the phone to the 911 dispatcher, however, Michelle Duggar got her daughter’s age wrong.

    The Daily Mail Online reports that Michelle Duggar was heard very calmly explaining to the dispatcher, “Mother is bleeding after birth. We need her to be checked out.”

    When asked by the dispatcher how old Jessa Duggar was, Michelle said 24.

    Jessa Duggar actually turned 23 the day before her and Ben Seewald’s baby boy was born.

    “There was quite a bit of blood when the placenta detached, but uterus is hard now,” Michelle Duggar told the dispatcher as the Duggar family awaited the ambulance.

    “We’re massaging your uterus. Hang in there,” she was heard saying.

    A minute later the 911 dispatcher asks if Jessa Duggar is still bleeding.

    “No, she’s better now, just a lot of blood. She’s talking. Her color is good,” Michelle Duggar replied.

    The operator then instructed Michelle to wrap the afterbirth in a towel for the doctor to examine to make sure it was all delivered.

    When asked how the baby is doing, Michelle said, “Baby is doing wonderful. Baby is great.”

    Jessa Duggar Seewald was due on November 1st, which was also her first wedding anniversary. When her birthday passed with no baby, she decided he was probably going to be big, and would come when he was good and ready.

    Baby Seewald, whose name has yet to be announced, weighed in at a healthy nine pounds, 11 ounces. He was 21 inches long.

    Michelle knew to look for red flags following Jessa’s baby’s birth. After giving birth to 20 children (Michelle Duggar lost one baby, Jubilee Shalom Duggar), she surely knows when something isn’t quite right.

    Jessa Duggar is likely grateful for her mom’s presence and her calm demeanor during Baby Seewald’s birth, and she probably laughs when thinking about her mother getting her age wrong during a moment of veiled panic.

  • Michelle Duggar to Attend Jill Duggar’s Home Birth

    Michelle Duggar, matriarch of the 19 Kids and Counting clan will reportedly be present when daughter Jill Duggar’s home birth. Jill’s husband Derick Dillard had fans convinced Jill was in labor over the weekend, but thus far nothing more than Braxton Hicks contractions have been confirmed.

    Jill Duggar is studying to be a midwife and will be attended by one during her labor and delivery, as well as by Michelle Duggar and Derick Dillard’s mom. It’s uncertain what the two moms’ roles will be, but they will be present in some capacity.

    Jill Duggar is more than a week overdue, and Derick said on Saturday that he was hoping for an Easter baby.

    “Still waiting to meet our little guy. Maybe we’ll have an Easter baby! #jillmdillard #babydilly,” he captioned the following photo of Jill Duggar, holding a small chalkboard that reads, ’41 weeks, 4 days.’

    Michelle Duggar is, of course, no stranger to labor and delivery. Being the mom of 19, and also having lost a baby–Jubilee Shalom Duggar–she knows the ins and outs of birthing a child.

    It will likely be very comforting for Jill Duggar to have Michelle Duggar present when she has Baby Dilly–what they have referred to their unborn baby as. Some speculate he may be named Isaiah when he is born.

    Do you think Jill Duggar will have that Easter baby?

    How wonderful that Michelle Duggar will get to be part of their big day.

  • Jill Duggar Suffers ‘All-Day’ Morning Sickness

    Jill Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting fame is suffering morning sickness as many mothers do during the first trimesters of their pregnancies, however she is suffering from it all day.

    People magazine reports that since Jill is almost at the end of that third trimester, that hopes are high about that all-day sickness lasting a lot longer.

    “The last couple of days I have had a little bit of a break from the craziness of morning sickness, more like all day sickness, and that has been a blessing,” Jill Duggar told the magazine during a recent interview.

    Jill married Derick Dillard back in June, and the couple was beyond thrilled to announce their impending parenthood–which they did exclusively to People.

    Mom Michelle Duggar has been a huge support for Jill. Being the mom of nineteen children (Michelle also lost a baby she and Jim Bob Duggar named Jubilee Shalom Duggar) she certainly has lots of pregnancy wisdom to share.

    “I ask my mom a lot questions,” Jill says. “I’ll ask, ‘How do you feel at this point?’ and ‘What did you do at this point?’ Her morning sickness wore off about now, and she started feeling better. She told me she was craving sour stuff and then she didn’t want sour stuff. I am still kind of in the middle.”

    Jill Duggar is happy that now–for the first time since becoming pregnant–she is ready to try her hand at cooking.

    “I made taco soup, tater tot casserole and pumpkin bread,” she says. “The pumpkin bread was something I was craving. It was good. I asked one of my friends to text me her recipe and she did and said, ‘Never stand in the way of a pregnant woman and food.’ It was wonderful to be able to cook again.”

    Jill Duggar says her new husband is very mindful of her pregnant state.

    “Derick is so good,” Jill says. “He brought me breakfast in bed yesterday.”

    Jill (who technically now goes by her new legal name, Jill Dillard) and Derick will welcome their precious bundle in the spring. They are excited to start planning for their baby.

    “Next week is my second trimester, I am so excited,” Jill says. “Now that I am feeling better, we are going to start getting things ready for the baby and start thinking of names seriously. Finding out the gender soon will help with that.”

    Lots of people likely wondered why Jill Duggar and her husband announced word of their pregnancy so early in the game. Most moms wait until that first trimester has passed successfully before sharing the news with those outside of their close family circle.

    “Most people, the reason why they wouldn’t share pregnancy news early, [they] are afraid of miscarriage risks,” she says. “We prayed about it, and the film crew asked us if we wanted to wait. But we knew we would share if we did miscarry. We believe that life is precious no matter how young and you would still want to remember that baby.”

    It will certainly be fun to stay apprised of Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard’s next few months as they anticipate the birth of their first baby and of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s fourth grandchild. Jill’s older brother Josh Duggar and his wife are the proud parents of three children.

    Do you suppose sister Jessa Duggar will follow in Jill’s footsteps and start her family soon after her marriage? She is marrying Ben Seewald on November 1st. That could mean that yet another grandchild will soon be en route for the 19 Kids and Counting family.

    Now that Jill is almost out of the woods with that all-day morning sickness, she will likely lend some of her own advice to Jessa, should it soon be needed.
