Jessa Duggar Pregnant? Speculation Flies Around Newlywed
New speculation has begun since the Duggar daughter has been married to Ben Seewald for over two months and a full-body photo of the bride has not been seen since before Christmas.
The couple exchanged vows on Nov. 1 and has been busy enjoying married life ever since. However, now there is the possibility of Jessa being pregnant given that she and her family do not actively practice using birth control since it goes against her religious views. The entire Duggar family believes that every life is a blessing from God and nothing should stand in the way of receiving that blessing.
People began speculating how long it would be until Jessa and Ben were expecting, especially since sister Jill and her husband Derick announced their pregnancy just weeks within returning from their honeymoon. Their first baby, a boy, is expected in the spring. Many have been comparing the two Duggar daughters since they courted and wed around the same times.
While some have already pegged that Jessa is pregnant since she has not posted any full-body photos since Christmas, others have countered the proposition and seemingly defended Jessa and Ben's privacy, arguing that everything happens in God's time and will be revealed when the couple is ready.
Jessa and Jill have both spoken at length about their plans for the future, which do include having larger families of their own.
"Whatever God's plan is, we'd be good with that!" Jessa told ABC News in September. "It's probably not possible for me to have 19 kids naturally, but we might adopt and get up to that number. We both love kids. We'll play it by ear as we go along. We'll see how it goes."
The newest season of "19 Kids & Counting," which will feature Jessa and Ben's wedding, is set to premiere on TLC in February, much to the delight of fans.
