Jessa Duggar Seewald Confirms Fifth Child On The Way With Sweet Rainbow Baby Reveal

In a YouTube vlog posted in early September 2023, Jessa Duggar Seewald revealed a positive pregnancy test on her bathroom counter. “After a heartbreaking loss of our baby last year, just this past week, we found out some wonderful news that our rainbow baby is on the way, and we could not be more excited,” she begins. Her seventh pregnancy comes just under a year after Duggar’s life-saving dilation and curettage procedure in December 2022. 

The expecting mom went on to share video clips of her beach vacation to Destin, Florida, with her husband, Ben Seewald. Jessa and Ben met at the Duggar family’s church when Jessa was 20, and Ben was only 17. Ben proposed to Jessa on August 4, 2014, and they wed three months later. The couple had their first son, Spurgeon, in November 2015 (via ABC News). 

Jessa and Ben’s second rainbow baby will be the fifth of the Seewald brood, including their second son, Henry, and daughters Ivy and Fern. Their large family seems to be following in the footsteps of Jessa’s birth family, the Duggars, who rose to fame with their long-time TLC reality series, “19 Kids and Counting.”
