Re: Premature Duggar

  • Aww that is tiny. 

    Flameworthy: After having 18 healthy children, I wonder if they will finally stop now.

    I hope this kind of teaches them a lesson.  Is that horrible to say?  

    Lots of t&p for that itty bitty baby though, I hope the best!

    Not flameworthy at all in my eyes K.  I was thinking when I read this that maybe now they'll listen, this is probably her body telling her enough already!

    Ditto, count me in for the horrible thoughts club. I would take that as a sign that their childbearing years are over.

    Although they seem like the kind of people to not interfere in what they consider to be God's will and just would probably keep having babies and then let nature take its course.

    GL to the baby.

  • I kind of have a feeling they'll take this as a sign that they're done. I can't believe she'd even be capable of carrying another, she's in her 40s and has had like 4-5 c-sections! There was a baby this small in the NICU when I visited my twin nieces and it's shocking, I hope baby duggar pulls through!
  • Glad I am not the only one that thinks the vagina wagon should stop.

    Of course, i wish them the best for their sweet little baby to be healthy and for mama to heal.

  • Ok, for real - back in the day before effective birth control women lived much shorter lives because their bodies were worn out by being pregnant so often (these are women who had 7 - 15 kids in their lifetime, like my great-great grandmother from Ireland who had 11 children . . . and that's just counting the ones that lived). I'm not just worried about her future children, I'm worried about her. It's not like you have to take a pill to use effective birth control - try charting or condoms. For real, people.
  • Another good reason we don't hang out on national boards. Of course they are all on their usual high horse

  • Wow, she was only about 6 months pregnant, wasn't she? It's going to be a long road for that baby, if she makes it at all.

    I agree though, I hope they take it as a sign that they should be done with kids.

    Confused I wanna know just how high that horse really goes.

     

    Regardless of what any of them say, 35 starts high risk.  Over 40 IS high risk.  I know she is healthy blah blah blah but at what point are you jeopardizing harming yourself and leaving all 18 of your children without a mother.  Is that what you think "God's plan" is? 

     

     

  • I agree with all you ladies. I really hope they take this as a sign and stop having children.
  • That poor baby, so tiny!

    I'm SICK of the Duggars. They need to get over themselves.

  • Thoughts and Prayers for tiny Josie. 

    I respect their family and I respect their choices - but this has to be a sign that it is time to focus on the children they do have and prevent future pregnancies.  It seems like her body is starting to give out on the child bearing job.

    I hope this tiny little one grows up to be happy and healthy.

    Karrey-you crack me the f-up! 

    Although, it is nice to know they still have sex after all of these kids!   One of my SS's was just under 3 lbs when he was born, the other two were just over 3 lbs.  Now, we have MONSTERS! I tell ya!  The one (at 10) is 62" tall!   There's hope for the wee little baby!

  • My mom told me about this on the way home. My response was, I'm surprised her uterus hasn't quit before now.  Hopefully they'll listen to what her body is trying to say. 

    I wish them nothing but the best and hope that mom and baby recover quickly.

  • She had pre-eclampsia and something else.  Someone asked her if she knew her health would be at risk, would they continue to have children?  And she said it's something they would pray on.

    I'm sorry, but at this point the kids can just walk out twirling a cane - no need for pushing.  A baby this early with the complications she's having - it's time for her to be a grandma and concentrate on the kids she's got.

    LMAO!  Sad, but true.
  • I'm sorry, but I feel so strongly that when you have children they need their mother to do everything she can to be there for them.  This includes taking care of her body so that she can be as healthy as possible for her children.  I think after a certain point, continuing to get pregnant knowing it is getting riskier with every year is just careless.
