19 Kids and Counting star Jessa Duggar suffers heartbreaking miscarriage: ‘I was in complete shock’-Stella Akinwumi-Entertainment – Metro
‘I was having all these fears that maybe they got something wrong.’
19 Kids and Counting star Jessa Duggar announced that she suffered a miscarriage while pregnant with her fifth child.
The 30-year-old reality personality shared their devastating news in her latest YouTube video titled, Heartbreak Over The Holidays.
Jessa- who is married to Ben Seewald- recalled the moment she found out about the miscarriage, when her doctor told her, ‘the sac looks good. The baby does not.’
The TV star – who shares sons Spurgeon, 7, and Henry, 6, and daughters Ivy, 3, and Fern, 19 months, with Ben – remembered how she felt when the doctor left the room and Seewald tried to ‘process the loss [while] sitting there and holding hands and crying.’
‘I feel like in some ways miscarriages can be so jarring because you don’t have clear signs of something going wrong,’ she said.
‘Nothing could’ve prepared me for the weight of those words at that moment at that moment I was just in complete shock. I didn’t have words. I just immediately started crying.’

She continued: ‘Right as they were wheeling me back I just wanted to ask, like, “Just, can I please have one more ultrasound? Please, somebody check, make sure.”
‘I was having all these fears that maybe they got something wrong… You know It’s irrational, but you just feel scared.’
At the end of the video, Jessa revealed that she planned to ‘take a break’ from social media and focus on her recovery.
Fans were moved by Jessa’s heartbreaking announcement, with one person writing: ‘Jessa is such an amazing mom! She is thankful for a life, even if it was a short life. When I hear her speak, I, too, feel God is with me. She is a powerful, loving woman. A real role model for young mothers.’
‘You and your family mean sooo much to soo many people sissy,’ another added.
Jessa and Ben announced in February 2021 that they were expecting their fourth child, while also telling fans that Duggar had previously suffered a pregnancy loss.
