Duggar Family news, rumors: Is Jinger Duggar pregnant?

It has been over two weeks since Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo married, and rumors have begun spreading about Jinger already being pregnant. Many of the Duggar family are known for having children immediately after getting married, but new rumors suggest Jinger may have been pregnant even before she and Jeremy tied the knot.

According to The Hollywood Gossip, Jinger may have been pregnant a week or more before she and Jeremy got married and had their honeymoon. This would be a big departure for the Duggar family and may be why the couple had rushed through the normally long courtship process to get wed.

The report cites that Jinger's most recent photos make it look like she and Jeremy already had sexual intercourse, and the couple had been asking fans for their prayers, indicating they are going through some difficult situations at home.

It is further explained that the couple had been very affectionate towards each other before they were wed, something that goes against Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's rules for their children. For the Duggars, no physical contact was allowed before marriage, and every date required a third person as an escort.

Jinger notably broke several of those strict courtship rules. It is rumored she may have gotten pregnant early, and because of this, the wedding was rushed ahead. According to the report, the couple may announce her pregnancy as soon as they return from their honeymoon in Australia.

Jessa, on the other hand, has been confirmed pregnant, and according to Game N Guide, she may even be expecting twins. This wouldn't be a big surprise given that their mother, Michelle, had twins before, and Jessa may have inherited this trait.

With both girls having babies soon the report states that "Jill and Jessa: Counting On" may see a boost in its ratings. The show, like "19 Kids and Counting" before it, relied heavily on the premise of a family having a large family that followed fundamentalist ideals such as restriction on all forms of contraceptives.
