Every mom knows that there's no way to tell what will happen when you're about to give birth. You can go into labor early... or be nine days overdue. Honestly, it's completely up to the baby!
Counting On star Jessa Duggar found this out for herself during the birth of her third baby. Now she's sharing the dramatic birth story with fans for the first time.
When she posted this update at 31 weeks, she said she was measuring smaller than her first pregnancy, but bigger than her second. It was hard to say whether Jessa and her husband, Ben, were going to welcome another boy or their first girl.
It turns out — they were right! Jessa did go into labor a few days after sharing this pic and nearly two weeks before her expected due date.
Meet Ivy Jane Seewald! She arrived on May 26, 2019 and it looks like the entire family is over the moon. Congrats to the Seewald family.
The labor and deliveries were filmed and included in episodes of TLC's show Counting On.
We already know that Jessa was completely surprised to go into labor so early. She was overdue when she went into labor with her two boys.
Since Jessa went into labor so early, most of her family was also out of town at the time.
Thankfully, mom and baby were okay and everyone is doing great.
"We’re so grateful to God for this precious gift. She is already so loved. Her big brothers adore her!” said Jessa and Ben.
