Jessa Duggar Welcomes Sixth Child August 2

Jessa Duggar Seewald, star of 19 Kids and Counting, recently welcomed her sixth child with husband Ben Seewald, sharing details of the birth through videos on her YouTube channel. The birth was marked by a special moment when her 16-year-old sister, Jordyn-Grace, cut the umbilical cord, as Jessa's husband, who has a weak stomach for such things, declined to do so. Jessa's labor lasted about 7.5 hours, with her mother Michelle Duggar by her side during the delivery, which took place at a hospital in Arkansas. The couple, married since 2014, has a large family including five other children, and they have been open about past pregnancy challenges. Additionally, Jessa and Ben's relationship began when they met at church, and after an 11-month courtship, they married and continued to build their family. Their story is celebrated alongside other Christian public figures who recently welcomed newborns, highlighting themes of faith and family joy.
