After Jessa Duggar-Seewald and her husband Ben announced that they are expecting their second child, speculations claim that her older sister Jill is also pregnant with her second child with husband Derick Dillard.

According to reports, there is a possibility that the two Duggar girls are, once again, pregnant at the same time. This also happened when Jill was pregnant with her firstborn child, Israel David, while Jessa was carrying Spurgeon in her womb. Their sister-in-law, Anna, was also pregnant with her fourth child, Meredith, during that time.

This prompted the speculations that the stars of TLC's "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" are both "infanticipating" together.

The rumors about Jill's second pregnancy also sparked after Jill posted a photo on her Instagram account, where she was seen eating a bowl of green beans with salt and vinegar dressing. Fans of the reality show star quickly assumed that it was one of her pregnancy cravings or that she was having a healthy snack to prepare her body for her next pregnancy.

While Jill remains mum about her rumored pregnancy, Derick previously confirmed that they are planning to have a second child soon. But it does not mean that the baby will come right away. When a fan asked him on Twitter if he and his wife are expecting a new child, Derick simply answered: "not yet."

At the moment, Jill, Derick, and baby Israel are staying in Arkansas as they take a break from their missionary tour in Central America. This could be a perfect opportunity for the couple to plan for their next baby since there are lesser risks of being affected by the Zika virus that is currently widespread in that part of the world.

Aside from the arrival of Jessa's new child, Jill and the rest of the Duggars are currently busy preparing for Jinger's upcoming wedding.
