Duggar Family News: Pregnant Jessa Duggar-Seewald Homebound as Due Date Nears

Jessa Duggar-Seewald has reportedly decided to stay with her family as her labor date approaches, and she continues to update her fans on her pregnancy status.

The Duggar family is set to welcome a new family member — Jessa Duggar-Seewald's first child — on Nov. 1. The pregnant 22-year-old Duggar is about to pop in a couple of weeks, and she has shared how she is savoring her time with her in-laws, according to the International Business Times (IBT).

"My sweet mother-in-law treated me to a pumpkin spice drink from #MamaCarmens, and Sierra insisted that I get something cheery painted on my toes in prep for labor!" the IBT quotes one of Seewald's recent posts on Instagram. "Ya'll are spoiling me!"

The former reality star and her husband, Ben Seewald, have both decided that their first child will be born at home. But they are also preparing for a hospital birth in case an emergency arises, the report details.

Jessa and Ben Seewald were supposed to appear at the Southern Women Show on Saturday, but they scrapped their plan to fly to Jacksonville, Florida at the 11th hour. The couple have also canceled all of Jessa's travel and public appearances and are now spending time with the Seewald clan, the Inquisitr reports.

Because of the change in their plan, Jessa's siblings Jinger and Josiah took her place at the event on Saturday. The two sat for a 30-minute interview that did not touch on the latest and hottest issues about the Duggar family, especially Josh Duggar's marital troubles, the report notes.

In a September entry on the Duggar Family Blog, the mother-to-be expressed her excitement at the prospect of finally being able to hold her baby in her arms soon. She is wondering if the baby will take on Ben's blue eyes or her curly hair, and what other features will she share with other Seewald and Duggar family members.

TLC is set to air a special episode featuring Jessa Duggar-Seewald's catch-up time with her sister Jill Dillard sometime in 2016. For now, the spotlight is focused on Jessa until her due date arrives.
