The Duggar family led by Jim Bob and Michelle were in full force during the wedding of their cousin Amy to Dillon King on September 6.
After the wedding, Amy and Dillon spent their honeymoon in Cancun in Mexico so the Duggar family were expecting that a pregnancy and a baby will be part of the equation for the couple soon.
Almost three months after the wedding, Amy has yet to get pregnant and the conservative Duggar family are reportedly getting upset because, in a recent interview with US Weekly, their cousin said that there is no honeymoon baby yet because they are not planning anything or anytime soon.
Amy disclosed that upon her return from her Cancun honeymoon, her cousins asked her if she was pregnant and they were shocked when she said that she is not.
As shown during the six and a half seasons run of the family reality show “19 Kids and Counting,” preventing pregnancy in the Duggar household is almost taboo. Jim Bob recently wrote an open letter about the evils of birth control, details Design & Trend.
His wife Michelle had initially been preventing herself from getting pregnant but it led to a miscarriage. Jim Bob has since blamed birth control for the incident and has been saying that by using contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, couples are actually rejecting God’s gifts.
Since the miscarriage, Jim Bob and Michelle have not used any contraceptive which is how their family grew and end up having a total of 19 children.
Not her cup of tea
The two daughters of Jim Bob and Michelle who got married in the last few years, Jill and Jessa, gave birth shortly after their recent marriage.
Jill gave birth after marrying her husband Derick Dillard. Jessa recently gave birth to her son Spurgeon, one year after her marriage to Ben Seewald.
But Amy would not live by the strict code of the Duggar ethics as getting pregnant and having an immediate baby after her marriage appears to be her not cup of tea, reports Starpulse.com.
She did admit that they are planning to have a baby sometime in the future. Amy said that she also thinks Dillon is going to be an awesome Dad and she also can’t wait to be a Mom someday.
However, Amy said that they still have so many little cousins to love and so many little kiddos that they don’t feel like they want to miss out on. She also said that she and Dillon do not want to have a lot of kids.
The Duggar cousin became famous for issuing statements against Josh Duggar because she felt that the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle put the Duggar family name in a bad light with his child molestation past and recent cheating to his wife Anna. But Amy remains close to Anna and her four children.
Difficult labor
Meanwhile, Anna Duggar was previously blamed by some fans for the exhaustingly difficult labor by Jessa Duggar Seewald early this month before giving birth to her first son with husband Ben Seewald.
Jessa gave birth to her son Spurgeon Elliot after a 48-hour labor. The bouncing baby boy measured 21.5 inches long and weigh 9 pounds and 11 ounces at birth.
Before giving birth, Jessa said that she experienced 10 hours of contractions. She said that she was already contemplating on whether to proceed with the all-natural home birth or just agree to be taken to the hospital for a medical delivery. She remembers telling her husband Ben that she was done doing labor and will go to the hospital to get an epidural.
She also recalled that her sister-in-law Anna advised her to walk up and down the stairs because that was how she did it before with her first born son Marcus.
Jessa remembered taking on the advice of Anna and they walked up and down the stairs for 20 times until she felt that she can no longer do it. One hour later, she started having contractions.
Why is Amy worried about what the Duggars feel about her not having a baby right away? I really don’t think it bothers her. I think she is desperate to find something to post to keep herself in the lime light. She is determined to take advantage of the Duggar fame. Considering her name was NEVER Duggar; she sure uses it when it is to her advantage. Her last name was Jordan before she got married. Her mother was a Duggar.
They will have kids when they feel they are ready and able.. I wish them all the best. I do hope I get pregnant soon though. LOL. Been charting my temps and ovulation with the BBT and OPKs that I get free from pregnancytips .org.. Wishing everyone all the best. :)
