The Duggars, famous for their large family and the TLC program about it, announced that they are still hoping to have a 20th child.
To see how feasible that’s going to be now that Michelle Duggar is 47, she and husband Jim Bob have enlisted the help of a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies.
The Duggar family started growing quickly years ago when they decided to forego birth control and leave their eventual family size, they said, up to God.
The early years were clearly highly successful, as the family ranks grew steadily to its current size of 19 children – 10 boys and 9 girls.
In more recent years, they’ve been having a bit of trouble.
Their youngest, Josie, was born quite prematurely after Michelle experienced a serious case of preeclampsia.
The next pregnancy did not have the same happy ending. Michelle miscarried what would have been the 20thDuggar child.
They’re still trying, but Michelle is aware of the slim chances that she will again be able to have a successful pregnancy.
