Jessa Duggar Shared A Birth Video With Fans Concerning Her Sixth Pregnancy
Viewers were introduced to Jessa and her family through various reality shows. These include TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and Counting On. In fact, the series was originally named after Jessa and her sister Jill: Jill & Jessa: Counting On.
As fans know, Jessa is the third daughter and fifth child of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. In her personal life, she married Ben Seewald in 2014.

Jessa and Ben, who already have five children together, recently announced the news that they were having a sixth child. Recently, Jessa released a video on YouTube sharing a big update with fans concerning her pregnancy.
The video started off the day before Jessa’s due date. Talking to the camera, she shared, “All right, little baby update. Tomorrow is my due date. I had an appointment a few days ago. I was dilated to a two and 50% effaced and I lost my mucus plug a few days ago.”
Jessa also noted that she was having Braxton Hicks contractions. However, she noted she hasn’t felt any back contractions, which she felt during her previous five pregnancies. At the time, she touched on walking more to help with the upcoming labor. She also talked about things she’s tried in the past to induce labor, such as eating spicy food.
In the video, Jessa also shared ultrasound photos that she was keeping on the fridge. She then shared photos of her children, which she dubbed her “baby wall.” This showcased her children on the day she was born. Unfortunately, she shared that she was unable to get the same type of frame for her sixth child. However, she assured she would find something similar.
Jessa Had A Big Surprise For Fans As The Video Came To A Close
Jessa continued, noting, “I sort of hope I get woken up in the middle of the night with contractions. It’s hilarious that I would actually feel that way because a lot of times you just kind of dread going through labor and delivery cuz you know it’s going to be intense.”
“But there’s also just an aspect of being a little more uncomfortable at the end of pregnancy and I think that helps to minimize the fears and pump you up more for like baby’s arrival.”

Towards the end of the video, however, Jessa revealed something shocking. Her water had just broke. As noted by Us Weekly, the video was filmed on July 24.
On social media, it was shared that Jessa had welcomed her sixth child. Taking to comments, many fans congratulated the growing family.
