Michelle Duggar: ’19 Kids and Counting’ Star Has Miscarriage

Get a clue! ——-God

The human body is not meant to bring twenty babies to term, I don’t care who you are, how you live or how much money you have. These people will continue to suffer if they don’t take responsibility for their contraception. I did not have even one child because I knew I could never afford it. They should be happy with what they have and let it go.

This is God telling you to stop. She should of stopped a long time ago. This is ridiculous. Im sorry but there is no need in having nor wanting 19 kids. Maybe she needs to be mentally envaluated. And then we they do the D & C, take her baby parts away because this is beyond enough.

Try to have some compassion people! Regardless how you feel about how many children they have (and let’s face it, it is no one’s business cos they care for them themselves), a child was lost! She didn’t lose the baby in the first trimester, she lost it in the second, which for those of you who can’t read between the lines, means she had to give birth to a dead child. How would you feel about that?! Miscarriage is terrible and just because you have other children it does not take away the pain of losing one. A child cannot be replaced with another!

To Back Off- You’re absolutely correct. It is no one’s business. So why is this in the news? Oh yea, because they issued a press release telling everyone thus making it our business and open for discussion! If they don’t want to face public opinion they should go raise their herd in private!

The womb is not a clown car.

.
They can afford IVF. That’s how all the 46 year-olds in Hollywood do it. Go Michelle!

I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW INSENSITIVE AND CALLOUSED AND CRUEL THE COMMENTS ARE ON THIS PAGE!! I DON’T CARE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT HER, HER BELIEFS, OR THE SIZE OF HER FAMILY, HAVE SOME COMPASSION FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!! HONESTLY THIS IS BEYOND UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

michelle, It’s time you realized that God is trying to tell you that enough enough. Enjoy and love the ones you have and if you still want more, there is plenty of desparate foster children who really need a loving home.

Jim Bob, please use the mind that god gave you! Michelle’s hormones haven’t been able to level out for years and years, it is up to you to decide what is best for your family. you need to back off, abstain for a few years and devote to praying to god, and being thankful for what you have, so that women can go through menopause!! The death of an unborn child is bad enough, but another pregancy is placing your wife in danger too, making 19 kids grow up motherless! Is sex more important to you then the life of an unborn child and your wife! Personally , I think this is nothing but pure competition with the Bates’ family! Jim Bob’s (best friend) who has 19 kids. I think Jim Bob is scared he won’t hold the world record anymore! selfish, selfish, selfish!!

It probably just fell out…ick…these people make me physically ill.

I have unfortunately experienced having a miscarriage before :( it does feel like someone has taken every breath out of you. I am sorry that she lost this precious baby. Losing a child is so incredibly hard no matter if that baby is full term or still in the womb! It hurts!

WOW, what a bunch of fricken HATERS!
I hope you all feel real Merry this Christmas sitting around with YOUR family while this one will be morning the loss OF ONE OF THEIRS.

Really wish you big mouth HATERS would get up and go look in the dam mirror… why dont you spend a little time making yourself perfect- that’ll keep you too busy TO HATE ON OTHER PEOPLE!!!

I see everyone had their haterade today that’s good! Hope you all feel good about yourselves! Pathetic humans!

God is not telling her to stop, or He would have not created the child to begin with. I am sad for you that you haven’t opened your hearts to know the reality of life and eternity.

And, having delivered twin sons during my 2nd trimester, I can say that it was awful. It was actual labor with contractions and pain and everything. I know for sure because I had to do it twice.

And why is it called a miscarriage? Simply because anything before 20 weeks when a death certificate is issued is called that – in the UK they actually have a petition to get the wording changed.

The bottom line is that there is something wrong with you if you experience more outrage than grief and compassion. You are extremely deficient in something and ought to find somebody with a lot of integrity and character to teach you what that is and how to get it.

My heart goes out to this family its sad to lose a child it doesn’t matter how many children you have its still hard it makes me sick to read the post people have put on here this family has done very well they own there house and from what I understand they owe nothing on the house its paid for they have taught there kids respect for others and values many people lack now.My prayers are with this family may God Bless them and help them through this loss

I am truly sickened & hurt by the calloused comments of others. How could you say God is hinting at something here?? Do you really think he would kill a baby so they could get a “clue”??
Regardless of your religious beliefs or opinions what is this family doing to hurt ANYONE???? Are you upset the baby died & blame her for it? If so then at least have compassion for the baby & don’t speak ill of his/her parents! I have lost TWO children in the second trimester & let me fill all of you in. She will be admitted to the hospital where she will deliver her still baby. No cries, no joy, nothing. Then they’ll go to the funeral home & pick a tiny casket for their baby. Then comes the funeral. Can you imagine walking into a room & seeing that ever so small casket waiting for you?? Or how about the sureal experiance of seeing your childs name outside the funeral doors announcing to everyone your dead child can be viewed in here. Oh wait lets not forget walking out of the hospital with empty arms & the nights lying awake because you just don’t want to wake up to the reality that your child has died.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE ANY OF YOU WITH HALF A HEART WOULD BE SO CRUEL.
By the way, someone mentioned that how could she have had so many children & not known the baby died. TRUST ME….IT HAPPENS MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!!!

I am 32 Years old, mother of four, my fourth pregnancy I was 29 years.
My body collapsed, suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney infections. My doctor explained that my body could not bear more pregnancies. Not only was it dangerous for me, it was for my baby. Thank God she is healthy and beautiful girl. I think it is time for these people if they believe in God think that what they are doing is wrong, using this to stay in the media, and conceiving babies who do not know whether they can bring into this world with a good finish. I think it must be now that someone will put a stop, really should now …

Some of you people are horrible human beings who need to get lives. obviously you have never suffered the heartbreak of a miscarriage. My mother miscarried my little brother at 23 1/2 weeks along. it was devastating for her, my dad, my brother and me. When I miscarried my first child at 10 weeks it was bad enough I can’t imagine the pain both physical and emotional that Michelle went through losing this child.
If you don’t like her. or if you are so against her and her family. why are you here reading this story. spreading hatred, ignorance, anger and disgust does nothing good. so why not just say nothing and get on with your lives?

To Michelle, Jim Bob and their family I am sorry for your loss. I hope that you are able to find comfort and peace.

It’s their decision to continue trying to have more children & I’m not commenting one way or the other on that, but it is kind of ridiculous to ask for privacy when they are being paid to take part in a “reality” TV show.

What is up with you all!!! They support every child they have all by theirselves…….NO government assistance at all. Not to mention they help others whenever they can. Yes, some of the older kids help with the younger ones, it’s called chores and learning work ethics!!!! Every one of their kids are very respectful and well taught!!! Can all of you say the same about your children? The loss of a child is very hard to handle….I don’t care when it happens. I have lost 2 singles and a set of twins and it is very hard to deal with mentally……Maybe God is a big part of their lives as he should be in my eyes, but it still hurts. I love this family……I think they raise their children very well. As far as what goes on in their lives and whether or not they have more children, is their business. As long as they can support them on their own, what’s the big deal? Every one of their children seem happy and healthy to me, so more power to them. As far as little Josie…..Well that could happen to anyone. My cousins first child was born early and only weighed 1 lb and 3 ozs. Today she is a healthy and happy 8 year old little girl. STOP JUDGING!!!!!!

Baloney. Apparently they travel around the country giving talks on how wonderful it is to have 19 kids. If I remember correctly, they charged $40 a head here at one of the local megachurches. They have a tv show. With 19 kids, you can’t possibly give each child the individual time and attention they need to develop. While it is unfortunate that she miscarried, it is also clear if you read the story that she didn’t go to the hospital since the routine doctor’s office visit in her second trimester is apparently the way she found out she had miscarried. In other words, she wasn’t in the hospital in labor or apparently even in noticeable pain when she miscarried. I have to wonder if that fact alone indicates problems for her. Anyway, like I said earlier. She needs to stop and she needs to start paying attention to the kids she has instead of continually trying to have another.

Its Gods way of telling you enough is enough with over populating this world. Get the hint already

Considering her last pregnancy nearly ended in disaster, they might want to use the BRAINS God blessed them with to realize it’s time to stop for the sake of the mother’s health. If they love children, there are many kids without homes or families waiting to be adopted. They should consider praying on that…

Wow. The intolerance and hate in this thread is really frightening.

get fixed.

Her plumbing is worn out.

To “JENN”, who asks, why would anyone think harming a baby is a good thing…that’s what the mom needs to ask herself. The reality is that when you reach a certain age and have had a certain number of children, pregnancies become riskier. This woman has maxed out the riskiness, yet still tries to have more babies. SHE is the one harming babies right now because SHE can’t carry them to term.

I’m sorry for their loss but why anyone would continue to have children like they do is beyond me. A 45 year old woman who has already carried that many children surely must realize that her body and age make her a less than desirable candidate to continue having children. They are a three ring circus and apparently enjoy having all that attention. I don’t recall God mentioning reality shows in the bible but hey – who knows. They may not depend on government assistance but they definately depend on people to watch their show. Kind of creepy I think.

These people are disgusting, this isn’t the 1900s, and even then good god-lovin’ christians stopped before they hit 10 children. I’m not condoning miscarriage, or saying its awesome she had one, but what do you expect? She’s pushing 50, and her uterus has been put through hell. That gross jim-bob man is right back in there after she pops them out. I feel bad for her. Honestly who has time to have that much sex when you have 19 screaming kids running around? Find it hard to make time with ONE.. The older children are rasing the younger ones and they have little to no contact with the outside world, its like some freaky cult. And for the people going off about how they don’t live off the government, they live off making babies! Tv shows, interveiws, seminars, their website. What’s reallllllly disgusting is that they will proubly keep trying, and televise this babies funeral, and the next ones and the next ones, because they’ll never stop until she menopauses. GROSS PEOPLE, so “god-loving” how bout abstaining for a few years? Letting nature take its course.

To those of you speaking “the innocent baby” rhetoric, let’s talk about the REAL issues here. NO ONE needs to have 19 babies, let alone 20, who is living on this planet. At the rate the planet is going, we will have a population problem. Today there are 7 billion people on the planet. There are growing concerns of threats to the ecosystem, i.e., rising levels of carbon dioxide, global warming and pollution to name a few. It’s even ridiculous to ponder the thought of 19 children and wanting more. We ALL need to take responsibility for the environment and the planet.

Rich “SHE is the one harming babies right now because SHE can’t carry them to term.”

At her age, it is less likely that she can’t “carry them to term” and more likely genetic defects due to the age of her eggs. It’s just statistics. Your eggs get old, they make fetuses with genetic defects, which die in the womb.

Seems shes not too sad, SEEING AS IT WAS JUST ANOTHER PUBLICITY STUNT FALLING OUT OF HER UTERUS. Besides, it was God’s will, he said he didnt want another moneybag coming out of her. I apologize to all the real mothers who have lost a child, one they can care for, devote the time needed. Instead of using that time to make public apearances to raise money for their forsaken kids.

How do they provide heathcare for all these kids? How will these kids go to college? God gives us brains and ability and THAT is what is supposed to provide for our families. God didn’t mean for us to pump out babies like puppies and then leach off of other people paying our bills. Truly, do they have health insurance? WHO pays for those kids?

Oh my god!!!! Somebody put a plug in her, or teach her to use the back door.

I remember hearing years back, about this couple. At the time, I think they had a dozen or so. I had no idea they had a TV show (I don’t have TV in my home) and had no idea they were up to 19. I work for an OBGYN and at 43 have considered having another child of my own. That being said, after weighing the risks to myself and the child, have decided not to put either at risk. A loss is still a loss, however, and quite hopefully a wake up call for this family to recosider trying for another. What will happen to these poor, exploited children if this mother dies in childbirth? What if their show is cancelled? Where will the money come from then? Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

You asked for privacy? Then quit the show! And quit having babies, you are putting your health at risk.

It is very common for a woman of advanced age (over 35) to frequently miscarriage. It is a fact of life whether the woman has previously born 19 children, or none. It could have something to do with her previous medical issues, or it may not.

I find it interesting that some people think that 2 grown adults are incapable of taking care of 18 children during the day (child #1 is no longer at home) when single women and men all over the world do it every single day–it’s called being a TEACHER. :-) LOL. These people DO have the money to raise 19 kids, both are present and parenting every single day, they have a big enough house and land and seem to be doing well. So more power to them!

“God is not telling her to stop, or He would have not created the child to begin with.” no, god just decided to destroy a life he created for grins…how silly!! god doesn’t create babies; people do, and this couple has created far more than their share. her uterus is what is telling her that it’s time to stop!

Not every woman gets this kind of support/media attention when she loses her child.
I know that Michelle will never forget this little angel.
God bless.

There is too much ignorance in this world today!!

Being able to afford 20 kids is not the point.. When are these people going to relieve the older kids from the burden of raising more of them …REALLY Crazy…It isnt how many u can afford they are not cars u put into the garrage…..U should actually raise n love ur kids how can they possible be good parents to 20 kids…

Do not worry Michelle. It’s just god telling you to stop having kids.

What Hypocrites! They want us to watch their TV show, but they can’t and will not watch any other Television show. There is something very wrong here. They don’t give a dam about our Soul, but we should worship them? Glad I don’t watch them. I only wish I could watch Optii Mom who I think is beautiful inside and out! I wish she had a reality show, now that’s something I would watch.

Did you ever think that older siblings helping to raise younger ones could be a blessing from God?? I am one of the youngest of nine children, and my oldest three sisters helped “raise” me (changing diapers, helping with feedings, babysitting, etc.), and they have been great parents to their own kids… perhaps they learned that by learning to be responsible at a young age instead of sitting around playing I-pods, DSI, whining about what they don’t have, etc. And, now that I have been recently been diagnosed with cancer, my oldest sister – God bless her! – has gone to every doctors appointment with me so I am not alone in facing such a tough thing. Do you think that training in doing what is right and thinking of others at a young age had anything to do with it?? I certainly do!

I think you all are being extremely rude! It’s very sad, no matter HOW many kids you have. I love this family and everything they believe in. They are amazing and inspirational. I dont think for a minute this is God’s way of telling her she’s done…she wouldnt have gotten prego in the 1st place. Just bc you have sex doesnt mean you will get prego. Yoiu ppl are seriously rude!!! If you cant stand them, quit reading about them. I would love to be one of their children….they are raised awesome and and have more knowledge than most ppl on here!

I can understand why people are so upset…19 children is a lot to handle. In this economy jobs, housing, 2 wars, food etc.etc.etc. it is hard to understand 19 children, but eons ago that is how families made it work. I know it sounds weird, but having a lot of children made a family appreciate each other more. These people seem to understand what family unity is all about. Everyone is just getting angry because of 19 children. Trust me people go find other things to get upset about. Like 2012 and what will be happening soon in the New Year.

This is a terrible tragedy. Prayers for the whole family.

if you dont want people knowing about your life then stay off the t.v. cause really i think its sick and dont get me wrong am sorry for her lost but enough is enough, i dont want to hear about any more of how many more kids she haveing its plain sick

I lost my first child when I was 20 weeks. I went to a routine dr. appt. feeling great, had no signs whatsoever of impending doom. I was told that my baby had died in utero. I was immediately admitted to the hospital and put on maternity ward. Labor was induced and two days later, I delivered a dead baby. It was horrible. People don’t really know how to respond to this either. Before the miscarriage, I was very obviously pregnant. Now when I went places, people who’d seen me just stared.. but didn’t say anything. I went on to have 3 healthy babies.. but after that, pregnancy was a complete nightmare for me. I send my apologies to the doctor and her staff.. I know I drove them crazy. That happened 23yrs ago, and the experience is painful to remember even today.

Miscarriages are always sad and if you have gone though the experience yourself or someone close to your has, you would understand this. I have the misfortune to be very fertile, but had a “split” uterus so miscarriges were inevitible. I stopped after two. But I don’t think anyone here has said anything so inhumane about the baby. Personally, I thought when their last child, Josie was born so premature and with so many problems, they would stop–most people would–but they are not most people (most people don’t have 19 kids). And just because you can afford to support a large family doesn’t mean you should have one (think of the Kennedy’s)–children need more than money they need attention. I remember the father said in an interview with “People Magazine” that he “tried” to speak to each child individually once a week. Also, I firmly believe that children in a family should not raise the other children–To me that says that the parents can’t raise their own family on their own–and they can’t (though this family can afford help). As for minding our own business–they have their own reality show–they give interviews, go around the country “spreading their message,” and announce to the media every aspect of their lives–they made the world a part of their lives. They have to expect that we will comment. Their claim to fame is that they are a family with 19 kids and counting–they are exploiting the fact that they are going to keep on procreating–it is almost like a game.

I can’t even imagine how incredibly awful it is to know that the child inside of you,especially at that far along, has died. I’m sorry for your loss but I hope you finally see that you are too old to be having children. The complications from the last child were a sign that you shouldn’t have any more and now this proves it. Birth control did not kill your last baby and it didn’t kill this one. Start using it before you miscarry more children.

God told you “Go forth and multiply.” Now he’s saying “Knock it off!”

She had a miscarriage with her 2nd child. I think she felt guiltty and thought it was her fault, so she started having alot of kids to make up for it. I think she needs to be mentally evaluated.

May the Lord carry this family through this loss. They have been a blessing to millions, I hope we can bless them back with our prayers.
In His loving grip

No matter how many kids she has or whether or not people agree with their childbearing decisions, loss is loss and painful to bear. I am sorry for their loss and sorry others are so uncompassionate they add to the pain.

While I am sorry for their loss and understand the pain of it (my mother had a first trimester misscarriage and my baby brother died at one month of age), I think they should take this as a sign…not from God…let’s leave him out of this…but from her 45 year old body…that maybe it’s time to stop. 19 children should be more than enough for any couple ( I won’t even get into how wrong having that many children is and I’m Catholic!). I think they need to concentrate their energies on caring for the ones they have and not risking Michele’s health by trying to have yet more. As others have mentioned…if they feel the need to care for more children, there’s a lot of children already in the world who need foster parents and homes. But that’s just my opinion.

Sad about stillborn. However, world population explosion, pollution explosion, resources running out, not enough jobs, people starving, and…we need to have 19 kids each now? For what? To eat? To split a mom’s love 19 ways? To shove 19 more houses into the dwindling wilderness? To have 300 grandkids? How arrogant and narcissistic!

If everyone in the US birthed of the number of children that these people have/attempted, the US population would swell from 311,800,000 to over 3,118,000,000 in just one decade. If those children adopt the family values of their parents, then 20-50 years could spell the difference between 3 million and 31 billion mouths to feed, backs to clothe, educations to fund, and jobs to provide.
As awful as losing a child is, a world without the resources to support that child seems a far worse tragedy.
Please Breed Responsibly.

maybe all of you should sign up to be God in the next election…

It bothers me when people choose to vent their opinions on things they know nothing about, which makes them look stupid. In the second trimester, most women are considered to be “out of the woods”. The baby has all of it’s body parts at this time and the remainder of the months they grow and develop, so it is very sad and a miscarriage that was considered further along. If you have a heart at all, it’s sad. Especially when you share the news with so many family and friends. I miscarried at 8 weeks and found out my baby did not live past 6 weeks. At my 6 weeks ultrasound I saw the baby’s hearbeat, which made it very difficult when we lost it. Have a heart people. Also, give them a break. Who are you and I to judge what they do with their family? No one deserves this kind of loss no matter how many children you have.

although I have sympathy on the family who lost a child, I do resent Medias promo such a family. Media should promo common sense instead of the nonsense.. the family could not have gone this far without Media help. Taking care of their own children & debt-free? that was not ture as the father claimed. it only became ture after they turned these children & family life into a reality show, bunches of sponors lent helping hands. if every woman in US give birth to 20 children…you dont have a lfe, US is a wasteland. the “Older children help to take care of younger children?–that is not fair to the older children. raising children is not the responisbilities they should take on.. I am so lucky, I wasnt born to such insane parents. I would rather make 20 friends with people from all over the world instead of having 20 siblings that live under the same roof and often require me to change diapers.

It is sad how many cold hearted people there are in such a beautiful world. If any of you knew better then you would know that having a abortion is a SIN. when god implants a child in a womens womb she must not abort it. even using birth control is a SIN because you are stopping and aborting children and going against gods will. so everytime this wonderful married couple have intercourse they must do it with the open mind that if a child is conceived then they must keep that child. it is apart of their religion and faith. it is what they believe. how dare any of you judge what they believe. they aint bothering you so why are you bothering them. leave their beliefs alone. you dont see them bothering people who pray to cows and pigs and statues. so why bother them just because they believe that aborting children is a SIN ?

You guys need to stop. Stop being insensitive. Yes, she has 19 children. Are they abused? No. They are well taken care of and you cannot judge her for how she lives. She just lost a child. Have a heart.
