Another Duggar grandchild is on the way.
Although Jessa Seewald and her husband, Ben Seewald, are 12 kids shy of having as many children as her famous parents, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar, the couple is well on their way.
During an Oct. 28 appearance on influencers Matt and Abby Howard's "Unplanned" podcast, the "19 Kids and Counting" alum revealed that she was pregnant with their seventh child.
"We have six kids, and we've had two miscarriages, and we're actually expecting again," Jessa Seewald said. "Yeah, six weeks pregnant with number seven. Surprise." The pair confirmed that Matt and Abby Howard were the first to hear the news outside of their immediate family.
When asked how she was feeling six weeks into her pregnancy, Seewald responded: "A little queasy, but not too bad."
Seewald, formerly Jessa Duggar, is the fifth of her parents' 19 children.
'It's been a journey,' Jessa Seewald says
Seewald's latest pregnancy reveal comes a little over a year after the birth of their sixth child and three years after she and her husband announced they were expecting their "rainbow baby." They have been married since 2014 and are the parents of Spurgeon, 10; Henry, 9; Ivy, 7; Fern, 5; George, 2, and Edward, 1. The couple lost two babies, one in 2020 and another in 2022.
"It's been a journey," Seewald said of being pregnant again. "With each kid, we just take it one at a time. We don't believe that, like, you have to have a maximum number or whatever. We just kind of think, like, 'take it one at a time,' and we want to be on the same page as a couple."
She added: "And obviously the most important thing he cares about is my health. Like, 'How are you feeling?' You're the one having these babies. You're the one going through these pregnancies."
