Michelle Duggar Miscarried - WDYT
Hey Ladies,
Did you hear this news? This was their 20th baby. I feel like they made a show of their life, well literally they actually did, but I wonder if they ever lost a baby before they started making the show. I wonder if they will change things now, because I can't imagine millions of people talking about my miscarriage.
What do you think about these people? I feel like I shouldn't care about them, but it annoys me that someone would decide to have so many kids. I can't really explain it. It just weirdly annoys me that they keep talking about God and how they just take every baby as a gift... shut up already, your babies raise your other babies because you can't stop making them. ugh
Still, sorry for the fact that she lost this one - it's always sad news.
Re: Michelle Duggar Miscarried - WDYT
Well... I don't want this to sound heartless, but I'm afraid it's going to come out that way. While miscarrying a child is always a terrible and sad thing, she and her 19th baby almost died when she was pregnant last time. That would've been enough of a sign for me to not want to get pregnant again, if I were her. Her pregnancy was extremely risky to begin with considering what happened to her last time, so I suppose this was always a chance.
It's like the story of the man and the flood. As flood water rose all around, neighbors of a man of deep faith told them that he must leave his home or be swept away in the waters. The man told them not to worry, God would save him.
After the neighbors had all left, a rescue boat came by. The rescuers urged the man to get in the boat with them. The man would not; God would save him.
The water kept rising, rising, rising to the point where the man had to crawl to the roof of his house to escape. A rescue helicopter came, dropped a ladder, but the man refused to climb up; God would save him.
What the Duggars do with their reproductive organs is none of our business, but this story was the very first thing I thought of when I head the news. After Josie being born at 25 weeks and now with a miscarriage, I think Michelle and Jim Bob should understand that maybe these are signs from God to quit it!Eventually the water rose above the house and the man drowned. When he reached heaven, the man asked God, "Why didn't you save me?"
God replied, "I tried to save you. I sent the neighbors, boat, and helicopter."
Do the creep.
This exactly. They need to see it as a sign, either from God or her doctors that her body isn't cut out to squirt out any more kids.
They've always said that "God will determine the number of children that they'll have".
I think this is God's way of telling them that a vagina is not a clown car.
I read today that she miscarried with her 2nd pregnancy while being on an oral contraceptive which is what started the whole "God will decide how many children that they have"
I think they need to understand that maybe this is a sign that it is time for them to stop!
I don't think that if someone has a miscarriage it means "it's a sign from god they should stop trying to have children"...that's pretty cruel. If this is a sign, god is kind of a jerk...how about she just doesn't get pregnant? it would get the point across without a child suffering/fetus dying.
Yeahhhh it's sad. Of course it's sad. No matter how many kids you have, a miscarriage is a traumatic thing. (I have only heard, but I have an imagination)
Besides that though, I do think that the older siblings are raising the younger ones, and that they should quit right about now. I KNOW it's against their faith to use birth control, but seriously? Quality of life and common sense should also come into play here. It seems to me they are no longer reproducing to serve God, or because babies are gifts from God, etc. It seems like they're doing it for they're TV shows and financial rewards that has afforded them. How else could you pay for such a large family to live??
I wholeheartedly accept my response is rude and judgey. For all I know, that family is genuinely happy, healthy, and could give a crap about their fame and money. But there you go.
Wow, I totally forgot about this thread. I know it's late, but I will add a comment anyways...
They decided to make a show of their lives - that's why everything they do, whether it is having another kid, or losing one, is heavily talked about. Does a million people talking about your miscarriage, or your 19 pregnancies make something a controversy? If yes, then that's why - you are showing your live to millions of people, we talk about it... nothing harmful here.
