Duggar Family News: Amy Duggar Isn't Planning on Kids Yet Despite Cousins Being 'Upset' with Her Decision
The Duggar clan is just starting to cool down on issues since it has been some months since Josh Duggar started all the fire with his scandals, and while Amy (Duggar) King is busy being a wife, it seems the clan isn't pleased seeing her without a baby bump.
Amy married Dillon on Sept. 6 and the two shared photos of their honeymoon in Cancun. In the history of the entire clan, it seemed as if getting pregnant right after marriage has become a mandatory practice.
Design and Trend notes that Jessa has just given birth to baby Spurgeon with Ben Seewald, almost a year after their first wedding anniversary. The family's matriarch, Michelle, obviously got pregnant probably a few months after the honeymoon with Jim Bob. Another Duggar, Jill, also got pregnant shortly after she married Derick Dillard.

With the "pregnancy after marriage" culture, it somehow pressures Amy to go with the flow of what the family has been used to for the past decades. However, she doesn't seem to mind and she thinks it's not the right time just yet.
In an interview last week on U.S. Weekly, she said, " My cousins asked me when I got back -they were like, 'Are you pregnant?' And I was like, 'Uh, no,' and they looked shocked...They were...almost upset."
Also, in a recent post in the family's official blog addressed to fathers, clan patriarch Jim Bob slammed the use of contraceptives, almost as if his note was actually addressed to Amy and Dillon, who apparently aren't planning to have kids anytime soon.
Amy said she believes that her husband will be "an awesome dad," but right now, they're just enjoying the gift of marriage, which is being together until the right time comes for a third member of the family to come around.
"We just got our marriage license in the mail," she said, adding with a strong note that "We don't want a lot of kids," probably firing back at her clan who thinks it's taboo to not be pregnant soon after getting married.
