Jessa Duggar baby update: Couple prepares for natural birth, might know baby's gender

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are very excited for their little one. They shared the good news to their fans two weeks ago and have been giving updates ever since. 

Recently, the mom-to-be posted a new photo of how far along she is. She was 14 weeks and 2 days pregnant at the time of the post, and she captioned it with: "#100 days pregnant! So amazing to read about#BabySeewald's development each week! "  

By now, Jessa's cravings are on a whole new level, which is why she can't resist eating her favorite food at Arby's. In her Instagram, she shared a photo showing how she gives in to her cravings. 

She said, "Lunch date with my man! Yeah... because 'the baby' was craving Arby's!  I love being able to use that excuse." 

While it isn't bad to give in to cravings every now and then, Jessa might want to be careful on that weight gain especially if she's planning to have a natural birth. This birthing method is very common in the Duggar household and Jessa and Ben are already preparing in advance. 

In Ben's Instagram account, he posted, "About to have our first Bradley class tonight! :-) #pregnantwifey," together with a photo of him and his wife.

Bradley classes teach couples the process of natural childbirth, wherein the husband is trained to be the coach when their wife gives birth. 

Meanwhile, due to the public announcement video the couple made, there have been rumors that Jessa may have twins. But based on her recent updates, it looks like they're having only one baby. The little Seewald is due to arrive on Nov. 1.

They haven't revealed the baby's gender yet, although The Hollywood Gossip reported that the couple may already know it but is keeping it a secret. Sources for THG said that Jessa and Ben had a gender scan scheduled at the Cross Church Compassion Center last April 28. The Duggars, it seems, are big on gender surprises. One may recall that Jill and Derick Dillard even hosted a gender reveal party for baby Isaiah.
