Michelle Duggar has miscarriage



A miscarriage is a terrible thing for any family to go through. I hope they all lean on each other and support each other through this tough time. Hopefully they can prevent this in the future by using some sort of birth control for Michelle’s health. Even though she may still be able to conceive, it’s just not good for her body at this point! Those kids need their mom around to take care of them. I absolutely do not agree with the lifestyle they’ve chosen, but let’s all remember to have some compassion for them. They’re grieving a terrible loss.

    These people are an obscenity and should just move to India to continue breeding their endless litters.

    Not all of them are stupid, but the odds of prclamia and other serious pregnancy complicatns for the woman increase with age, with the number of prior pregnanci, and if she previously had severe pregnancy complicatns. Michelle Duggar is high risk on all these factors. She would have died without the emergency and very premature delivery of Josie. (How early in the pregnancy she developed severe prclamia is also a significa risk factor for her health in the next one.)

    She has 19 children, and the youngest is only 2. I think it is irresponsle to her living children for her to seriously risk her health and her life with another pregnancy.

    Millions of women develop prclamia during pregnancy. Do you think ALL of them are stupid and shouldn't get pregnant again?

    Josie is a healthy toddler now, not a frail baby. All little kids get sick. Staying in Israel a few extra days was just a precaution-. Would YOU force a young child to fly while not feeling well?

    This is nature's (god?) second warning for these people I wonder if they're listening yet?

    The last pregnancy and birth of a very frail preemie should have been a wakp call for the Duggars, but they really aren't too intellige. They took that frail baby on a vacation to Israel where she contracted an upper respirato infection and had to stay in Israel until she was well enough to travel.

    What makes you so sure she is so miserable? Because you would be?
    08:48:25 AM

    sorry but she is done. her uterus cannot carry any more to term. not enough strenth left in it. her uterus would drop if she had any more as she is not a machine. tell hubby to take up a new hobby as you sure need a rest. no one will upset your privacy as most are happy this show is over. good bye Mr and Mrs duggar . nice knowing you but happy you are through.

    There seem to be a lot of people who are not prhoice on here about women's reproducte issues. Hm.

    "Their show would be a siom if it weren't sadly real.
    For most people a miscarria would be devastati. But after this many kids it's like ""OK, so what?""
    At some point they need to be spayed and neutered."

    The couple has said they don't use birth control.

    Really? I never would have guessed.

    Nobody, get real.
    09:18:58 AM


  17. Heidi2E
    and who told you to have when and how many children you could have?
    09:19:06 AM


  18. eyesoftheworld18
    "The fact is these people are selfish, whether or not they use government funds. It is simply not a sustainab behavior to have 20 kids. If everyone in the world wanted to have that many children it would take at least 10 earth's to support them, that's just a guess and is probably not even a fraction of the amount of resources that earth would need to sustain that lifestyle. Unfortunaly these people are a perfect example of human's beings ""exempt"" from Darwin's Laws."
    09:19:39 AM


  19. JJEagleHawk
    Perhaps this is a sign from God?

    After all, if God indeed called them to have this many children (as they claim/belve), it seems reasonable to me that he'd also give them a sign to stop.

    Her womb must have its own zip code!
    09:28:55 AM


  21. Ktbu Lfu
    It's not fair to make the older kids be babysitte because you choose not to halt your reproducte process when you reach a certain age. The only reason they can afford all these kids is because they are on TELEVISION-!!!! Get a clue!!!!
    09:33:54 AM


  22. sumner83
    That's just not nice. God also says don't judge. They all look happy enough and well adjusted to me. What's normal these days, 2 kids 3?? And what are they doing that's so great anyhow? Maybe being at home and staing away from all the crap that goes on now a days insn't so bad! Diversity and freedom is what makes this world so wonderful -
    09:39:18 AM


  23. motherbird2
    Good. hope in her sick mind she takes this as a sign from GOD, no more children Michele. give your kids a break. you did not have them to be built in babysitte. they deserve a normal life like all kids do. be a mother for a change instead of a baby machine.

    And the best thing of all is that Duggars DO NOT CARE about all the nasty disrespecul comments below
    09:48:22 AM


  25. juney7
    I am sorry for the Duggars and with their Faith they surely must know this was God/'s will. I believe they do have love in their hearts for more children and so why not adopt at this stage? There are plenty of children out there who need loving homes which this couple can provide. I believe with God having sent her this message that attempts to bear further children should be curtailed and they should look to those out there around the world who need a loving home.
    09:50:21 AM


  26. p---
    /"losing a baby is always devastati, regardless of whether it is the first or the last. nasty comments will not help/" they make the commenter look petty and unempathec.

    i do not agree with the duggars choice to have so many children, but i understand that reproducte choice means the right to have as many or as few children as desired. the children appear well cared for and genuinely loved."
    09:58:54 AM

    I feel for her. However, what does she expect They want their privacy Well, then maybe they shouldnt have a reality show
    09:59:41 AM


  28. myzelf
    Do YOU let strangers dictate what YOU should do with YOUR body? Which of YOUR children shouldn't exist?
    10:06:10 AM


  29. lfr203
    I feel bad but 19 is enough, if they want more kids they should adopt a child, theres thousands of children who need a good home in the US. I think her body is finally trying to tell her to stop, the world is popullated enough.

    The Duggars were debree long BEFORE the network approached them about doing a TV show. Learn the facts.
    10:18:10 AM


  32. LoHaze
    You obviously know nothing about them. They owe nothing, they accept no government money, they have always supported themselves-, they buy food in bulk, used clothing and vehicles, they built their own home. They are a burden to no one. Yes, the reality show is making them more comfortab, but they were not in debt before.
    10:20:44 AM


  33. James Woodworth
    One less mouth we need to pay for with taxes. Without this stupid reality show these people would be in the poor house feeding their children. Either that or they feed them nothing but white rice?
    10:33:46 AM


  34. My husband and I recently had our baby die when I was almost 9 months pregnant. We have two other children, however it doesn’t matter if its your third child or your 20th child, it still hurts like no tomorrow. Shame on everyone who made comments like “ Maybe there is a god after all. Nobody should have that many kids” It is still a life and very much still her baby.

    Their kids are subsidized by the govt through a tax deduction. That's roughly $70,000 off his personal income right there.
    11:03:10 AM


  42. Reason4Happenings
    If you're going to jump straight into judging this couple, I suggest you research them and discover WHY they choose to not use birth control. They do not now, nor have they ever taken Government assistance-. They are a precious couple with magnifice children. I would rather have a couple like this having 20 children than someone who *does* all the things the folks on this forum are accusing the Duggars of doing.

    fanned and faved.

  44. Debbye SwardFihn
    I agree with you. And really, who are we to determine for them how many children they should have. It isn't like they're living off the 'system'. I see plenty of people with 2 children using the government services and neglecting their children. Yet it seems even though Michelle and Jim are present for their children, all 19 of them, we still want to sit back and pass judgement on them. I find it interesti we have also interpret the message God is sending to them! Better duck if you're gonna toss stones....
    11:42:18 AM


  45. troosvelt
    Setting aside the wisdom of having that many kids, my heart has to go out to any parent who suffers such a loss.

    I would hope we can all recognize that we can feel compassion for her even if we question her choices.
    11:42:50 AM


  46. myzelf
    Several of the (adult) Duggar kids are volunteer firemen/E, and they've helped families all over the world in need. What have YOU or YOUR kids done for all those communiti?
    11:48:54 AM


  47. mrsL
    In my community we call the people that supply the shared services in our community - EMPLOYED!! and in the middle of the worst recession since the big depression - that's a good thing. As tax payers they certainly pay for the services they do and don't use.
    11:49:32 AM


  48. ellenwe
    enough is enough...ile they may not use direct govt resources they are adding to the use of all shared services in their community.-..she needs to spend her time taking care of the nineteen she has and not worrying about yet another child...i think she particulay should examine why she needs to be pregnant all the time if she wishes to use a religious context the lord has given her two lessons onwhy she should quite while she is ahead

    May Michelle survive the next one, and the next one, and the next one, and so on, and so on, for 30+ years.
    12:02:05 PM


  50. myzelf
    A woman's body can handle multiple pregnanci, every 1-2 years - otherwise they wouldn't be fertile for several days per month, every month, for 30+ years.
    12:05:14 PM


  51. daradar
    The Duggars frequently speak about God as if they know what he is saying and what he wishes. They give him credit for all of the good that happens in their lives. I would think they would believe he had his hand in this as well.

    A new diet and exercise program is not the cure all for the serious complicatns Michele experienc in the last pregnancy. Michele is older and has had 21 pregnanci and that alone increases her risk for lots of complicatns, just one being a stillbirth-. One would hope Michele would take the time to focus on her health, recover from this last pregnancy, and taking care of her children.
    12:07:39 PM


  52. mrsL
    A lot of people seem to want to speak for God. It's their choice how many children they want to have. Michelle was on a diet and exercise program and even did some water skiing on the last t.v. season. She probably just had low progestere levels since she is in her 40s. I wish her a speedy and peaceful recovery.
    12:10:42 PM


  53. lawandac
    My point is why are they so adamant on baring more children in this day and age since they are not running a farm that requires large families. It sounds more like the vanity of her husband and her trying to please him. I think God is telling her its time to quit reproduci. Too much chileang is really hard on the woman's body. In earlier years, chileang has been the highest cause of death in women, especially in the pioneering age.
    12:11:30 PM


  54. sophie430
    their children are happy to be here. who are you to say they shouldn't be here? to each his own. you don't have to have 19 kids, but they can do what they want so long as they aren't hurting anyone.
    12:19:06 PM

    EVERY mother risks her life to have a child.
    12:26:45 PM


  56. Denice Brown
    The thing is this sad woman has said she will keep having babies regardless of her health because it's god's will. She even has gone so far to say if she dies in childbirth-, leaving her 19 kids motherless-, it's is 'god's will'. Taking no responsibity for one's actions and attributi it to an invisible deity is some kind of mental sickness, I think. If god made us in his image, why aren't we invisible?-??
    12:27:11 PM


  57. Fedelia
    "Enough with the ""you liberals"" generalizg from the God crowd. So some people here are being insensiti. Take that up with them, and leave the rest of us out if it. As for the family not taking anything from the government-, it's easy to do that when you get mountains of donations. Meanwhile, STOP the ""We want small government but we'll own your uterus any time we feel like it"" BS. It is a shame that Michelle miscarried-, so how about YOU follow your OWN advice and lay off the cruelty YOU show her by standing on her shoulders to fight YOUR weird, imaginary political demons? Huh? How about your NOT using her as a pawn for a change?"
    12:42:37 PM


  58. tmkb
    I'm dismayed at all the cruel words here. A woman lost her child. It's amazing to me how much support you liberal women will show a woman who has had an abortion, and how little you will give one who has suffered a miscarria. You are plain cruel in your words.

    And by the way, you're also wrong in other ways. The Duggars take nothing from the Government and never have, even before they were on TV which is most of their marriage. They were not on tv at all before 2004. Also, Jim Bob does not work a regular job outside the home. He works some from home, mostly handling investment properties-. They also homeschool-, thus spending most of their days and time with their children. So much misinformion and so many assumptio. Many of you should be plain ashamed at your words in regards to this family.
    12:56:32 PM


  59. motherbird2
    what is sad about this ? A blessing in disguise. Hope she stops and does not lose her life with another one. Not fair to the other kids.
    12:57:01 PM


  60. daradar
    My deepest sympathies on the loss of your child. I am not a religious person, but in so many interviews I have watched over the years of the Duggars, they seem to always talk as if God was behind every little thing. So, if they feel God is behind everything else, why would they not believe God is behind this as well? As a retired nurse, I think her body needs a rest. There is a big difference between having seven children and having been pregnant 21 times, as Michele Duggar has been.
    12:59:57 PM


  61. mrsL
    I had a stillbirth of my 6th child at age 42. I went on to have a healthy baby at age 46. These things happen but I would not presume to know the mind of God.
    01:03:02 PM


  62. daradar
    This is very sad news and my sympathies to the Duggar family. I would hope they would realize God maybe sending them a much louder message with the loss of this pregnancy since they ignored all of the complicatns with the last one. The Duggars should thank God only the fetus died and not the mother. It is long past time for Michele to let her body recover.
    01:05:11 PM


  63. coachnelly
    "Why is it any of your concern? Regardless of whether you agree with their life and faith decisions, miscarrias are painful both emotional and physically-. It's just sad to me that people are immediate jumping to crucify her and essential saying ""I told you so"" when what she really needs now is compassion."
    01:08:19 PM


  64. myzelf
    They're a happily married couple who love children and choose not to subject their bodies to unnatural chemicals or procedures so to conform to unnatural societal trends. What exactly is your problem?
    01:09:48 PM


  65. Rozanna
    Why do they continue to have children when the last baby was premature and had to struggle for survival They need to stop having kids, God or no God.
    01:23:33 PM


  66. coachnelly
    I'm not here to get into religious debate with anyone. The Christian God that Michelle Duggar and I both believe in is not a God that would punish a woman by taking away her child when the woman is so obviously striving to lead her life in the most Christian way possible..-.and she's not just a Christian because she refuses birth control - it's in the words she chooses, the actions she takes (and doesn't take) and it's in how she treats her husband, her children and her community.
    01:30:00 PM


  67. Stryke
    What god are you referring to/?
    01:30:41 PM


  68. coachnelly
    I find it sad that people are misconstrng the hand of God in all this. God isn't teaching her a lesson to not have anymore children - that's not how he works. He doesn't punish a mother by taking her child away.

    That's a shame. To all you nay sayers, they aren't living off your dime, they pay their bills and support their own family. You "ZPG" (zero population growth) people can stop crying since so many of you either choose to remain childless or go to third world countries and insure they remain childless, these children won't add any additional strain to the Earth!?
