Number 20 on the way.

I didn't know that she was expecting again, and I wonder if this is an unplanned pregnancy or not. But you are absolutely right, it is too risky. It would be wise of her to get her tubes tied, unless she is very intent on setting a world record. But the world record for the most children from one couple is 69, so I think it's about time she retired her uterus.

I had to look because I couldn't recall who Michelle was, but when I saw the article, I remembered..Wow, that is something and I have to give them some credit for making it work, because if it didn't, they wouldn't continue. I think as long as the children are well taken care of and loved, however many a couple wants, it's their business. Of course like you said, with the last one being so small and all, you'd think she would have put an end to it and I hope this next one is healthy. Of course some may think that if she continues, the older she gets, the more risk to her and the baby. But then again, are there any studies on women who have had so many children already and the risk of continuing? I mean most of those studies are primarily done on women who had waited until they had children, this isn't the case. Personally, like you, I also think it is too much, but it isn't our choice, but I stopped at 4, that was quite enough for me...

hi sulsisels at 45 she is playing a dangerous game as thats the age when you start birthing babies with birth defects. I think she need to have her tubes tied and quit reproducing babies., take care of the huge family she already has. quit being an idiot and taking a chance of dying in child birth.

I think if it was anyone else I would have misgivings but the Duggar family has done a phenominal job of raising a very well run family. Even their little children know how to do things like cook, change tires, do laundry etc. They are very well rounded in their ability to work, do arts, homeschool and they travel all over and experience so much. Any child born into that family automatically has a super strong support system. They are a strong Christian family with an unshakable faith in God (which was seem when Josie was born pre-mature) and I believe they can handle anything that should come their way with the birth of this next baby. Even if something were to happen to Michelle, that family would still go on strong. They have truly built a village and I applaund them in every way.

For me yes it is happened anyway to think of it take a look if the woman have a remonstration period yes it would be.

Wow! she is very strong to be having as much kids,She have to millionaire to feed all of those kids and thinking on having more,she have to have a good health ensurance too to pay all the surgeriesc section,and have to have a lot of money to pay for the school. Well God bless them!

My mom had my younger sister at 43, and she was a blessing, but my mom lost as many pregnancies as she carried to term. Every one of us was precious to her. I cannot see how this is any different really than Octomom. Too many, too much publicity, too little adult attention to go around.

I think she is nuts and I think her and her husband need to start using birth control. Each time she has a baby she puts her life and the baby's life at risk. You're right she is being selfish. The whole thing is just crazy. I wonder what they would do if the husband didn't have a job or couldn't work and she couldn't work. How in the world would they pay for all of those kids? It just makes no sense to me.

Hi sulsisels! OMG! I didn't hear this news! I think that this goes beyond ridiculous, selfish and I don't know what else! Her children are already being forced to raise the other children because they have no other choice and I think this is totally unfair. She is a Grandmother times two already! What is wrong with these people? I don't even think rabbits multiply like the Duggars do! I don't think that "God" exactly had this type of "family structure" in mind and I definitely think this couple needs to get a "new hobby"!

Personally, I could not imagine having another baby at my age!!! However, I can understand why they are having another baby. They believe that it should be left up to God to decide how many children they are blessed with and when they are blessed with those children. So, in their eyes and beliefs, this is what God intends for them, regardless of the dangers that they may face, or how the rest of the world views them.

Ok I thought that you were kidding. So I did look it up for myself. I just can not believe that this woman would have that many kids. And like you said it is totally irresponsible for her to do this especially how her last birth went. How fair would it be if her other kids had to raise the little ones? And how does she manage to do one on one bonding with that many kids around. It is almost impossible. I have raised 8 kids, i gave birth to 3 and have 5 step kids. Their ages range from 21 to 11 now. And I found it difficult to do. Man I sure hope for the kids sakes that she does ok.

i just hope that she can still provide the equal love and attention each child needs not to mention her needs as a mother and for her husband. that sure is a big responsibility and i hope there will be no problems when number 20 comes.

I also read this news awhile ago,it is quite amazing and unbelievable having that count of children.I think it hard to raise too many children but I think they do it well.Happiness and joy shows in their family.God bless them.
