Surprise, surprise…. a Duggar girl is pregnant again!
We’ll give you a moment to get over the shock….
Jessa Seewald, the third-oldest daughter of the ever-fertile Duggar clan has announced that she and her husband, Ben, are expecting their second child. The announcement comes just nine months after the birth of the couple’s first child, the unfortunately named Sprugeon.
“We are overjoyed to announce that Spurgeon has a new title in life as ‘big brother!’ ” the couple said in an exclusive statement to People. “We are so thankful that God is adding to our family.”
Jessa is due to give birth in February, making her about 3.5 months pregnant, currently.
Just as they did when Jessa was pregnant with Spurgeon, the couple is already hinting that they may be having twins.
“Having Sprugeon has been such a wonderful blessing and we cannot wait to see the face of this sweet new baby (or babies!),” the wrote on their family website.
In a video posted to their site, Jessa and Ben say that they think they’re expecting another boy, but have not confirmed the baby’s gender via an ultrasound yet. With Spurgeon, they did not tell anyone that they were having a boy until the baby was born.
“We haven’t decided yet if we’re going to share that news with everybody or keep it a secret again,” Jessa said.
“We really have no idea for names at this point,” Ben added. “I think we’ll have to get some suggestions.”
Here’s one: Something better than Spurgeon!

I know this is incredibly harsh but this family truly sickens me. There is no God damn reason you need a family that big especially in this screwed up world. So selfish and despicable for not conceiving out of love but rather for show/money/fame/obligation. You can be the “best” parent in the entire world but there is absolutely no way each child is getting the proper love, attention and one on one bonding time. I am so grateful my crotch will never be a revolving door spitting babies out at every turn, that is the kind of life I would pity.
I know this is kind of off topic but does anyone think that Jinger Duggar’s guy seems a little bit off? Like he’s OVER the top phoney and I think he just wants to get in her pants…..oops I mean skirt
Oooh twins…Spigeon and Spoogeon!
How do all of the babies end up looking like Duggars?! You’d think that Derrick and Ben having sons would mean they’d look like them, but nope. Spurg is all Jessa and Jim Boob.
Jill must be so pissed!
Ben is far too young for all of this.
I thought medical experts we warning couples against conceiving so soon after visiting a country infested with the Azika virus? Didn’t she just visit Jill? I guess it will just be one more blessing they will call God’s Will! Pretty darn selfish and iresponsible. Not a chance I would Take! They trust God will make it all well, and I trust that God gave me common sense. I guess ignorance is blissful!
They did the “maybe it’s twins!” last time as well, even well after they damn well knew it wasn’t twins. Anything for publicity and ratings! If she’s 3.5 months pregnant they already know how many kids are in there.
Hoping she’ll go for a hospital birth after being rushed by ambulance last time. Not sure why these girls romanticize home birth so much but so far it hasn’t worked out great for her and Jill.
Also Ben, get a job.
I can’t believe she beat Jill to it. Jessa was the one saying she wouldn’t be giving birth to the 20 kids they want, half would come from adoption. At this rate though they will never get to adopt she will just keep having baby after baby. Can’t wait to see the name they choose to top Spurgeon.
I truly believe the adoption talk is all smoke and mirrors. Her parents say it too, but their religion doesn’t actually encourage adoption and they have to know there’s no way a reputable adoption agency would consider two kids with no jobs, one of which has no education. The only way they’re adopting is if a) they change religions and b) they adopt privately through a fame whore willing to sell their baby to a family who knowingly covered for josh molesting his sisters.
It is no one business. Enjoy this time while pregnant. May God bless you and keep you safe. People who are saying negative things just doesn’t understand that children are a blessing from God.
It’s everyone’s business when you put your life on TV and announce your pregnancy in a gossip magazine.
Like omg I’m so surprised!!
*eyeroll*
I can’t even imagine what this child’s name will be
I’m not expert but in most cases you’re supposed to wait a year between children as your body needs to heal properly I hope she can physically handle that. They have 0 skills and 0 education for their children’s sake I hope they put $ away from the tlc gravy train before it derails.
I just googled this! Yes it’s not healthy to have another pregnancy within the first year
Why do these Duggar girls stare at their husbands like they worship the ground they walk on???? Anna does the same d×m thing too!!
Their religion tells them to do that. They’ve explained it before on the show. All the wives do it.
Yup exactly. Even the siblings look/stare at each other when one talks, but not as “submissive” and “adoringly” as the girls who are courting or married.
Jesus wept!
Two unemployed,uneducated,ignoramuses had sex and are having a baby. What a shock, said no one ever.
I’d love to see these girls 10 years after their TV show is over.
5 for the TM(2), girls as well. The fall is going to be very hard. Jessa is not going to be thankful her father chose an uneducated teenager for a husband then. Feeding your family top ramen for Dinner on the regular isn’t appealing to anyone, except maybe Leah Messers clan.
LOL “Dinner on the regular” would have the girlses over the moon.
Lol!? So true!
Hahahahaaaa!!!!!
Stop with the twins crap woman. You would know if it was twins and NO DOUBT would shout it from the roof tops because you want more attention.
It frustrates me when people joke about this. We had natural twins (the entire pregnancy was a surprise then woooo twins) but right at the end of the first tri we lost one of our twins. As someone who then had to suffer a through a two month miscarriage while growing a healthy baby I find her comments insensitive. Obv people don’t know this kind of thing happens, we didn’t but now that we do and experienced it it’s kind of a punch to
The heart.
Same situation here, except my son died just before viability 🙁 Seeing twins is still too hard for me, let alone people joking around with an identity that was ripped from me. I get you.
God didn’t add to your family you moron
You and your hubby having unprotected sex was the reason
Man, u guys are mean to these celebrities!
Yeah. “Celebrities.”
Jessa wishes she was a celebrity, popping out kids is the only thing that’s made this family known to the public. Pretty pathetic.
Welcome to the internet.
Please tell me that’s sarcasm.
Please?
It wasn’t god that blessed your family, you nitwit, it was the sex.
I wonder if she’s gonna out kid her mother
Sheesh, took her long enough ?
Lol I know right? And what about Jill? She’s bringing shame to her family by having a 16 month-old and STILL not pregnant?!?!
