Duggar family looses baby number twenty

They won't stop. I don't watch the show either though I've seen small clips of it while flipping through channels or whatever. I have heard them say that whatever God wants for them, that's what they'll do. Hopefully God makes that woman hit menopause soon.. for crying out loud! Personally, I believe God gave us the tools and materials necessary to create birth control for a reason! If we weren't meant to create birth control, it would not have been possible, just like creating a time machine is not possible.

First of all, though I grew up always thinking that I wanted to have a large family, I honestly don't think that I could imagine to have 19 children and I do believe that Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are very blessed to have the 19 healthy children that they have. With that said, I also see why Michelle made the choice many years ago to not use birth control and to leave the number of children that they are going to have in God's hands. However, I do think that there are things that people can do without using contraceptive to keep the size of a family to a reasonable size.

miscarriages, though never easy, happen for a reason. they should focus on the wonderful children they already have.

It may have been a blessing in disguise. There are many reasons women in there mid forties don't have kids. I just wish them all the best with the 19 they already have. Here is hoping they don't try and have any more.

3SnuggleBunnies I used to watch the Dugges..wow this is sad news...whether anyone feels that 'should' have this many children or not, this is very sad...

You cannot simply give birth throughout the life. This is the high time the family should realize that the time is over and just stop giving birth again. I think she should now settle down and wait for her granchildren from ther older children.

I can NOT imagine having 19 kids... I have thought these people were crazy since I first heard about them, at about 15 kids. I think she is getting up there to an age where she might need to think about not having more children, heck, if she had had this one, it would've been younger than her grandchild!

I feel sorry for this family as they truly were looking forward to this baby. Jim Bob is a hard working man who takes care of his family and they have learned to live on what they can pay for and not be in debt, with 19 kids. Maybe we should learn something from them. I think that they will have another child in the future and I hope that Michelle can carry it to full term and it will be a healthy and happy baby. They are a happy, healthy family and the kids truly seem to love one another.

It's really sad that they lost their child. It's not something that you want to have happen. But at the same time, they do have 19 children already. Having so many healthy children really is a blessing. They are lucky that they are all healthy.

I would not want myself with so many children maximum two is enough. One boy and girl. I heard they have been with so many children and I think its time to stop now.

That's sad that she lost the baby, but maybe it's for the best. I think this woman needs to give her body a rest and concentrate on other things rather than being a baby making machine. I've never seen the show, but I wonder how her relationship is with the rest of her children. My Mother grew up in a large family, and her mother resented having a lot of children, so I wonder how her mental health is, and if she has any hidden resentment towards the husband or her kids. In other words, when the cameras are turned off, what's really going on? For example, my grandmother had a good relationship with maybe two of her children, the rest, not so good. My Mother bore the brunt of most of my Grandmother's resentment, and she was the last to the youngest in the brood.

I think that I would have had my tubes cut. I had five miscarriages and gave birth to 4 children. I do not believe in abortion but would have had it made sure not to conceive any more children. Her body must be worn out when you think about it. yes, they should count their blessings and it is time for her to call it a day and not have any more children.

I think having the number 20 is not meant to be! I hope now the Duggars realize it is time to stop having kids! I think God is sending them a message that 19 children is enough! No more kids! I have always thought Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar were crazy to have so many kids and alot of it had to do with them being conservative Baptises. They also have 2 grandchildren and will have more in the future! So why try to have more kids? It makes so no sense to me and I think Michelle's body is warn out having so many kids! I hope a doctor convinces her and Jim Bob to stop! What is even more distrubing is they know a couple in Tennessee who have 18 kids and are having 19 this coming spring! I don't remember the couples names but I do remember seeing them on a ABC news program. Mom has been having problems staying pregnant,lately but still wants to have as many children as she can! She has had no break inbetween kids! I thought they are worse then the Duggars! Even the younger kids pray that mom has more kids! Now this couple is crazier then the Duggars! I think this couple should be told to stop! Mom's body is wearing out! With so many pregnancies Her and Michelle will die before they are 60! Listen to your body! It is saying "enough is enough" to these 2 woman and they aren't taking the hint!

I have seen the clip of the interview online and I was really amazed that even with the financial crisis that everyone seem to feel at some point, they still say that the is still room in their house for another child (given that some of their older children are already married). We have 2 daughters and my husband and I are still worrying about making ends meet. Maybe they are just good at budgeting and all those money-saving techniques but raising that many children is another matter. It seems hard to spend time with each and everyone of them, help them in their studies and especially growing up issues, without some of them feeling neglected.

Counting blessing always works for me.....and I hope they see it as a sign. Maybe 19 makes a nice number to end up with. However it's not my life so I shouldn't say anything....I would hate to have people think they could judge what I do!

I could never imagine anyone having that many babies. However, whenever someone loses a child it is a terrible thing. I do feel though that this is God's way of saying that she needs to stop having children and be thankful for the family that she has. Especially with the trouble she had with the last pregnancy.

oh.. I salute this couple.. they are really daring in caring for 19 kids.. despite with the help of the older children, it's really taxing in terms of financial and physical. In addition, it will be difficult to give fair treatment too (but heck, where did we have fairness here). It's sad to know the news of the 20th child, but I am sure GOD has plan for them in his own hand.

Oh but it is not at all pleasant. Too bad for people. obviously this is a terrible thing I can not imagine it if I am I can not stand this anxiety and many times to lose her child. honestly in this situation do not know what I done within. nice day!

I think maybe she should stop. Her body seems to be telling her enough is enough. She has had plenty of children that she can enjoy and grandchildren. That should be more than enough joy for them. It is still sad that this happened though. Anytime you have a miscarriage it is heartbreaking which I know from experience so this must be really hard on them... =(

Truthfully, I think it's about time she stopped having kids. Pregnancy wreaks havoc on the body and I can't imagine putting my body through that experience even half as many times as she has. The fact that she's starting to get on in her years is also probably a sign she should stop having kids. 19 is more than enough. Heck, 10 was more than enough.
