"19 Kids and Counting" star Jessa Duggar has been called Mrs. Seewald for five months now, but it looks like it will be a while before a Duggar-Seewald baby will show up. According to rumors, a baby bump is still absent from Jessa's list, at least for now. The 22-year-old is said to be taking it slow.
Jessa has left everyone wondering if she has plans in the pipeline or if she is trying to. She has not dropped details about the topic. However, an image of her and husband Ben that is making the rounds may give a clue. A photo was posted on a Facebook page showing the Seewald couple posing with their hands shaped into a heart over Jessa's midsection. It did not take long before the image was passed on, raking in speculations that Jessa is the next Duggar to expand the already huge family.
If the said photo is any indication, then Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's advice to the couple during their wedding day did not go to waste.
"Ben, you're a fine young man," Jim Bob told him in an episode of "19 Kids and Counting." He then went on to say that "starting Saturday when you get married: be fruitful and multiply."
On the other hand, there are also rumors that Jessa might be using birth control, which is strongly against her family's traditions and beliefs. A source from Hollywood Gossip suggested the possibility, although indirectly.
"Jessa and Ben are definitely active in the bedroom, so it's suspicious she hasn't gotten pregnant," the source said. "She wants to enjoy being a wife for a while."
However, in an interview with Island Packet, Jessa revealed otherwise, saying, "We are open to having children biologically whenever God will give us children. We're not doing anything to prevent that."
In a separate interview, she also shared her desire to have kids.
"We're looking forward to starting a family, but we don't have any news to share yet," Jessa told Memphis FM 100, and when asked about pregnancy rumors, she answered, "We're looking forward to kids."
