Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are expecting their 20th child this spring, the couple revealed Tuesday morning on “Today.” “We are so excited,” Michelle Duggar told TODAY Moms before the broadcast. Now three and a half months pregnant, the mom of 19 says she was actually surprised to discover that she’s expecting again at 45. “I was not thinking that God would give us another one, and we are just so grateful.” By the announcement of her pregnancy with her 20th baby, some people are hesitant to offer congrats since she would take the risk by jeopardizing both her life and her unborn child.
Michelle Duggar’s last pregnancy was fraught with danger. She suffered from gall-bladder problems as well as preeclampsia. In order to save her life, doctors delivered daughter Josie three and a half months prematurely – she weighed only one pound, six ounces at birth, and endured a series of health emergencies, including a perforated bowel. Preeclampsia, or hypertension of pregnancy, can cause stroke, seizures, liver rupture, respiratory failure and maternal death. Moreover, the risk that the preeclampsia may return in this pregnancy is at least 40 percent. The super-sized family stars in their own reality TV show, “19 Kids and Counting,” on TLC.
