Michelle Duggar Miscarries

The Duggars were given the news on Thursday that Michelle Duggar had a miscarriage.

During a check-up where Jim Bob and Michelle were supposed to find out the sex of their 20th child, their doctor was unable to find the baby’s heartbeat. Michelle was told that she had miscarried in her second trimester.

Michelle is resting comfortably at home with the support of her family.

The Duggars still plan to name the baby after they find out of it was a boy or a girl and they plan to hold a funeral service.

In addition to their youngest daughter, Josie, who was born in December 2009, the couple is also parents to Joshua, 23 (who has two children, Mackynzie, 2, and Michael, 4 months, with wife Anna, 23), twins Jana and John-David, 21; Jill, 20; Jessa, 19; Jinger, 17; Joseph, 16; Josiah, 15; Joy-Anna, 14; twins Jedidiah and Jeremiah, 12; Jason, 11; James, 10; Justin, 8; Jackson, 7; Johanna, 6; Jennifer, 4; and Jordyn, 3.

This would have been Michelle’s 20th child.
