TLC reality alum Jessa Duggar Seewald has announced that she is pregnant with her fifth baby, less than a year after sharing a heartbreaking miscarriage with the public.<\/p>\n

Seewald and her husband, Ben, announced the pregnancy in September on their Instagram Stories and in a YouTube video. \u201cAfter a heartbreaking loss of our baby last year, just this past week, we found out some wonderful news that our rainbow baby is on the way and we could not be more excited,\u201d the couple wrote.<\/p>\n

In December of 2022, Seewald was approaching the end of her first trimester when she began bleeding; after an ultrasound, it was confirmed that her preborn child had died. \u201cAt that moment I was just in complete shock,” she said in February<\/a>. “I didn\u2019t have words. I just immediately started crying.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seewald had to undergo a dilation and curettage (D&C) to remove the remains of her deceased child, roughly three weeks after her preborn child had passed away.<\/p>\n

Pro-abortion media outlets, knowing Seewald is pro-life, immediately seized the opportunity to accuse Seewald of having a “life-saving abortion,” even though a D&C procedures can be utilized for numerous medical reasons<\/a>, only one<\/em> of which is to intentionally end the life of a child in the womb. The procedure, according to Mayo Clinic, is used to \u201cdiagnose and treat certain uterine conditions \u2014 such as heavy bleeding \u2014 or to clear the uterine lining after a miscarriage or abortion.\u201d<\/p>\n
