Start counting! Just two months after tying the knot, "19 Kids and Counting" star Jill Duggar is pregnant, expecting her first child with husband Derick Dillard.
The married couple announced their exciting news on Wednesday, Aug. 20. TLC confirmed Jill's pregnancy in a release, with a representative adding that the network is "thrilled" for the newlyweds. The mother-to-be, 23, is the fourth oldest of the expansive Duggar clan, with two older brothers, an older sister, and 15 younger siblings.

I don't care about any of the Duggars. They are nuts.

I hope that it goes well for them. I wish I could be that naively happy about seeing a positive test and just assuming that means a baby at the end.

My husband thinks she is more than eight weeks pregnant. Uh yeah! Isn't it "jinxing" it by announcing the pregnancy that early? Someone got a little something something before the wedding!

Well, they do have to keep the Duggar franchise going. I think eventually they'll have a show called " The Duggar Cousins - 1000 and Counting ! "

I would think a faith such as that would have encouraged marriage earlier than 23. She nearly old. And a bunch of her best baby years are behind her. How is she going to accept the blessings of god 28 times if she is starting so late?!

My husband thinks she is more than eight weeks pregnant. While the scandal would be interesting, I seriously doubt this is the case. They were never left alone for even a second until they got married. It's more likely that she's following suit and announcing the second she POAS. What's sad is they had no time alone ever before they got married, and now they have a kid on the way. DH said he would have been so pissed if we had gotten pregnant that quickly. I honestly wonder about the parents' relationship and how they will handle it once the kids are gone. I want to know what happened to Jana. She's the oldest girl and pretty much just disappeared. No talk of her "courting" or anything. I wonder if she got a job and left.

I hate all that "bless" stuff. To a point I usually ask them why God hates me so much since I haven't been blessed with the right stuff.

Thank you for the "pill" and an education. I can't imagine a life otherwise.

Supposedly she is a midwife and has assisted with 70 births. Not sure what kind of training is involved in that. The whole getting knocked up the second you are married wouldn't be for me.

This is in no way intentioned to hurt anyone here dealing with fertility issues, but I am honestly interested in what would happen if one of the Duggars (or anyone living their lifestyle) had fertility issues and couldn't have kids? Would they be shunned by the religion? Or is it just kept quiet?

I am going through major Duggar withdrawal

I had someone try to tell me that's why we lost Aubree - they were lucky I didn't punch them in the throat. But going through ART isn't always looked favorably upon in these groups either since it's considered messing with God's will. I think Jana was dating someone and then it didn't work out? She's been pretty quiet the past couple of seasons. So has the 2nd oldest boy (they are twins). Maybe they just wanted out of the circus.

Someone on here has said before that statistically one of those 19 kids is gay.
Jessa is the one who just got engaged.
And damn a wedding for 1k! Logistical nightmare.

It would have been OK to punch them.

I'm sure we could have raised the bail money for you. Some people NEED a good throat punch.
