Michelle Duggar Miscarriage
"19 Kids and Counting" stars Jim Bob and
Michelle Duggar acknowledged sad news Thursday when they go for a
routine pregnancy check-up to find out the sex of their 20th child. They were
told there was no heartbeat and that Michelle had miscarried in the second
trimester.
Jim Bob released an official report on the TLC website, saying,
"Earlier today at a routine doctor's scheduled time, Michelle and I
received the sad news that we lost the baby. Michelle is resting happily at
home with the support of the whole family. We are thankful for all the thoughts
and prayers, but ask for privacy during this difficult time."
Michelle said, "After the appointment, we came back home and told the
children... We had just been talking about baby names last night and they were
getting excited about naming a boy or a girl. It has been a real sad
displeasure,"
The reality TV mom said, "I feel like my heart broke telling my
children, they have all been so excited on this baby and looking ahead to April
coming around and having a new little one in our arms. That was the most hard.
The Lord is the giver of life and he can decide when that life is ready to go
on and be with Him."
She said the family will choose a name after they know if the child was a
boy or girl, and then they'll plan a funeral service.
