Michelle Duggar Miscarries Her Twentieth Child

michelle-jim-bob-duggar-miscarriageMichelle Duggar, the woman who has famously birthed 19 children and stars in 19 Kids and Counting, has had her second miscarriage and today lost the baby they had hoped would cause their TLC show to once again change names.

Years ago, Michelle Duggar lost her second baby after getting pregnant while on the pill. That loss caused both Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to give up on birth control and put their family planning in God’s hands.

While America watches and argues over whether the Duggars are inspirational or irresponsible, Michelle, Jim Bob and their army of children peacefully live their lives. No matter what you think about their decision to keep having children, no one can deny that they have created an incredibly happy, content family.

Personally, I can’t imagine having a large family, let alone 19 children! After two children, I knew I had reached my own personal limit. But I have respect for the Duggar’s faith and for their commitment to raising their children with such love and patience.

I miscarried my second baby and so my heart is with Michelle, just as it is with every woman who discovers her child has died. Whether it is her second or her twentieth, losing a baby is heart breaking.

My prayers and thoughts are with the entire Duggar family today.

    I drop a comment whenever I especially enjoy a post on a site or I have something to valuable
    to contribute to the conversation. It is a result of the passion communicated
    in the article I browsed. And on this article Michelle Duggar Miscarries Her Twentieth
    Child — 5 Minutes for Mom. I was excited enough to drop
    a comment 😉 I actually do have a few questions for you if you usually do not mind.
    Could it be only me or does it look like some of the comments look as if they are coming from brain dead visitors?
    😛 And, if you are posting on additional places, I’d like to keep up with
    you. Could you make a list every one of your public pages like your Facebook page, twitter feed,
    or linkedin profile?

    A child lost is a child lost. As a mother of five, I get the “big family” comments all the time, and I can attest. Each child is just as precious to a mother as another. Numbers don’t matter in this case.

    It’s so difficult to lose a child. May God bless them and help them through this time.

    Very well written. My heart breaks for her and her family too. I’ve had a miscarriage too and it is hard on everyone.

    Everyone will have an opinion but no matter what you can’t help but feel for her at this time.
