Jessa Duggar, 32, Details 'Scary' Mindset After Pregnancy Loss
Jessa Duggar, 32, Details 'Scary' Mindset After Pregnancy Loss originally appeared on Parade. Jessa Duggar revealed why it can be "hard" to be "emotionally invested" in pregnancies after suffering from miscarriages. While appearing on the Wednesday, July 9, episode of Jinger Duggar's 'Jinger & Jeremy' podcast, Jessa, 32, Jinger, 31, and sister Joy-Anna Duggar discussed pregnancy, baby loss and grief. When Jinger asked about navigating fear and anxiety after a miscarriage, Jessa admitted that the experience can be "scary." 'I think it's hard to allow yourself, early on, to feel excited when you see that positive pregnancy test because you feel like you're bracing yourself. You're like, 'This may go how it went last time,'" she said. Jessa and her husband, Ben Seewald, share kids Spurgeon, 9, Henry, 8, Ivy, 6, Fern, 3, and George, 18 months. She has been open about suffering miscarriages in 2020 and 2022, while she is currently pregnant with her sixth baby. 'I've had friends who have had back-to-back losses and it is just devastation upon devastation,' the mother of five continued. 'I feel like my losses were separated. They weren't back to back, but I definitely felt that, until I was past the marker of where I lost my last baby, it was very hard for me to feel like, really emotionally invested, or to, like, get attached because I was, like, 'Any second, this could be gone,' and you're terrified. I mean, just, like, basically every time you go to the bathroom, you're like, 'Is there blood? Like, am I? Am I losing this baby?' And so that's, like, the hard side.' Parade Daily🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 While miscarriages are extremely difficult, Jessa has been able to find silver linings such as feeling "a lot more grateful" for the kids she already has. 'I took a lot less for granted,' she said. 'You know, when those pregnancy symptoms of, like, nausea or whatever, like, went past into the second trimester with one of my babies, I was like, 'This is going on really long.' But then I thought, 'But it stopped short with the other baby that I lost. And like, I wouldn't have it any other way.'" She continued, "I'm thankful even for, like, hard aspects of pregnancy because your baby's still there and you're still pregnant. I feel like it just caused me to be so much more grateful and to cherish life even more.'

Joy-Anna Duggar gives heartbreaking update after daughter's stillbirth
gave a heartbreaking update after her daughter Annabell's stillbirth at 20 weeks in 2019. The TV personality, 27 - who shares three children with husband Austin Forsyth - reflected on the miscarriage as she opened up about her grieving process on the latest episode of her sister's Jinger & Jeremy podcast. Six years earlier, Joy-Anna had revealed the devastating news about the stillbirth and expressed at the time that their daughter 'will be in our hearts forever.' While talking to her siblings Jinger and Jessa - who both experienced the same loss - Duggar said that she 'did have kind of a gut feeling of something may not be right.' She added, 'But also I'm like, "I don't want to over exaggerate." I don't want to read into things...I just remember feeling so numb leaving the ultrasound.' Joy-Anna also got candid about the emotional toll of still having to deliver her baby girl at 20 weeks. 'That was extremely hard, having to go through the whole delivery process.' Six years earlier, Joy-Anna had revealed the devastating news about the stillbirth and expressed at the time that their daughter 'will be in our hearts forever' She explained that she was grateful her mother, Michelle Duggar, was by her side because she 'had been through it before.' 'And I had a really good support team, but even with all of that, it was extremely difficult.' Joy-Anna admitted that there is 'no set timeline' when it comes to both physically and emotionally recovering when it comes to coping with loss. 'You have to kind of move on, and [someone] told me, they're like, "I went through a loss and it took me a long time. There's no set timeline,"' she said. 'When I've talked to other people, I've shared that with them. Like, "Hey, it took me six months." I felt like I was in a cloud for six months. I felt like I was in a fog.' Duggar continued, 'You know, it's postpartum, your body's going through kind of a shock. And then that timeline is going to be different for people.' The star then offered advice to others who experienced loss as well, and expressed, 'Don't put yourself on this, "I have to bounce back." 'There's going to be days where you can have joy, but the next day may be really hard, and you're hit with that grief again. There's no set timeline.' The star then offered advice to others who experienced loss as well, and expressed, 'Don't put yourself on this, "I have to bounce back"' During the episode, she also recalled finding 'peace and comfort' through visualizing God holding their daughter. 'For me, I guess, everybody would say, "Oh you're so strong. You're handling this so well." And inside, like, you're freaking out. You're like, "I don't know what's going on." And I kept telling everybody, I was like, "It's not me."' Joy-Anna added, 'And that's the one thing I look back on. And I'm like, even in like the darkest days of my life I still look back at that and I'm like there was an unexplainable peace and comfort. 'Not that what I'm going through is okay, but like - the peace and the comfort that God gave during that time. He was just like, "You're going to be okay. You're going to come out on the other side of this."' Duggar continued, 'The visual of God holding Annabelle - "In the arms of Jesus" is what we put on her tombstone. Just that visual for me, I guess, gave me a whole other view of it...' Earlier this month, Joy-Anna took to her Instagram page to pay tribute to her daughter on her 'heavenly 6th birthday.' She uploaded a black and white image of her baby girl's feet as well as other images in memory of Annabelle. In the caption, Duggar wrote, 'happy heavenly 6th birthday Annabell Elise Forsyth ~ July 1, 2019 ~.' 'We only had her for 20 weeks, Life is fragile and precious. So thankful the Lord gave her to us for that short time! She will be in our hearts forever!' Duggar and Forsyth had penned Back in 2019, Joy-Anna got candid about the stillbirth and had an emotional photo shoot with her daughter inside the hospital. She shared some of the images to social media at the time as both she and her husband Austin paid tribute to their baby girl. 'We only had her for 20 weeks, Life is fragile and precious. So thankful the Lord gave her to us for that short time! She will be in our hearts forever!' Duggar and Forsyth penned. The TV personality - who is known for starring with her family on 19 Kids And Counting - is also mom to Gideon, seven, Evelyn, four, and Gunner, two, whom she shares with Austin. Last year during an appearance on The Unplanned Podcast, Joy-Anna got candid about experiencing post-partum depression which was at its worse after her youngest child was born in 2023. 'The postpartum stuff did not hit until probably two and a half months postpartum, and then everything crumbled after that,' she said. Duggar then emotionally added, 'I kept thinking I should have it all together. I'm seasoned. I shouldn't be struggling with this. I had to work through just from rock bottom, like, "Okay, where am I gonna go from here?" 'The postpartum stuff did not hit until probably two and a half months postpartum, and then everything crumbled after that,' she said 'I just kind of wanted to sulk in it for a while, but I knew that that was not healthy for our marriage, for my kids.' The star continued, 'I finally got to a point I was like, "I'm not doing good. I'm struggling. Do I even want to be here?"' Duggar then sought help while also working out and eating healthier which resulted in her seeing 'a huge drastic change.' 'I was just fighting, fighting, fighting for months and months to feel better,' she explained, before adding, 'I also wouldn't change that season for anything...I've grown so much.'

Jessa Duggar has a message for those criticising her 6th pregnancy
The '19 Kids And Counting' alum says she's been met with criticism and concern about the size of her growing family. Photo: Jessa Duggar/Instagram Jessa Duggar Seewald is addressing the 'rude' comments she's received since announcing that she and her husband, Ben Seewald, are expecting their sixth child. The 19 Kids And Counting alum says she's been met with criticism and concern about the size of her growing family. 'Honestly, I have heard a lot of rude and unnecessary comments but generally those like, 'Oh you're breeding like rabbits' … or 'Are you trying to follow in your mum's footsteps? Are you going to have 19?'' she said in a YouTube video on May 8. While Seewald said she's 'not going to have 19 kids,' she hailed her mum, Michelle Duggar, as her 'hero' and 'role model.' 'Her patience, her love, her gentleness, her kind speech … She is the golden example of a mother in my opinion,' Seewald said. 'So, when people say, 'Do you want to be like your mother?' I'm like, 'Yes please, Lord help me.'' The 37-year-old admitted that she and her husband have never settled on a specific number of children, but said they have no plans on having more. 'We weren't really at a place when we got married thinking, 'Oh we'll just have one or two,'' she explained. 'We were kind of maybe somewhere in the middle range. I think we had thrown out the number seven or something like that.' Despite the backlash, the soon-to-be mother of six says she's focused on her health and making sure each child is taken care of. 'We just take it one at a time,' she said. 'I always say in pregnancy or the early postpartum phase, I'm not really in a place to make a decision whether we're going to have another (child) or we're done. "And Ben's concern is always, first of all, my health. And then also our capacity to care for each one and love them well and help raise them up into adulthood.' The couple announced in March they were expecting once again, posting photos on Instagram of the sonograms paired with the caption, 'Halfway to holding you in our arms!' – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

Why Have There Been So Many Plane Incidents in 2025
Originally appeared on E! Online Considering how many millions of people travel by commercial airliner every day without incident, crashes involving such planes are the definition of rare: Seldom occurring or uncommon. But it only takes one for it to feel as if the sky is falling. Because while it's generally known that, statistically speaking, flying is a safer mode of travel than driving, the thought of anything going wrong aboard a plane is exponentially scarier. And on Jan. 29, the worst happened: American Airlines Flight 5342—carrying 60 passengers and four crew members from Wichita, Ks., to Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C.—was approaching the runway when it collided midair with an Army Black Hawk helicopter, killing everyone aboard both aircrafts. It was the first commercial airline crash on U.S. soil since Colgan Air Flight 3407 crashed into a house near Buffalo, N.Y., in 2009, killing all 49 people aboard and one person on the ground. But, long gap between crashes aside, it was hard to forget that the disaster occurred a year after a panel blew off a Boeing jet midair during an Alaska Airlines flight. Since there were no casualties, the incident became fodder for a Saturday Night Live sketch ("That's why our new slogan is, 'Alaska Airlines: You didn't die and you got a cool story'"), but we tend to try to laugh at what scares the s--t out of us. More from E! Online Jessa Duggar Is Pregnant, Expecting Baby No. 6 With Husband Ben Seewald Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise's Daughter Bella Cruise Supports Half-Sister Sunday Rose Gene Hackman and Wife Betsy Arakawa's Causes of Death Revealed But, long gap between crashes aside, it was hard to forget that the disaster occurred a year after a panel blew off a Boeing jet midair during an Alaska Airlines flight. Since there were no casualties, the incident became fodder for a Saturday Night Live sketch ("That's why our new slogan is, 'Alaska Airlines: You didn't die and you got a cool story'"), but we tend to try to laugh at what scares the s--t out of us. Nor were fears assuaged when a Learjet 55 air ambulance crashed in Philadelphia two days after the American Airlines tragedy, killing all six people onboard and one person on the ground. Or when a Delta jet coming from Minneapolis crash-landed and flipped over upon arrival in Toronto on Feb. 17. (All 76 passengers and four crew members survived.) Still, U.S. government officials and aviation experts have been quick to assure the public that flying is safe, especially on commercial airlines. "We're going to lose 44,000 people on the roads this year," aviation expert John Cox told NBC News March 1. "We will not have anywhere close to that, that a problem with an airplane. The facts are clear, the most dangerous part of any flight for a passenger is the drive to and from the airport." And while 2025 did begin with a devastating loss of life, the average number of fatal aviation incidents that tend to occur during January and February in a given year in the U.S. were down. According to numbers from the National Transportation Safety Board, January and February typically have about 20 fatal aviation accidents per month (that includes all types of civil—aka non-military—aircraft, including cargo planes and private jets). But there were only 10 fatal aviation accidents this past January, and in February there were six. 'Commercial aviation is a profoundly safe way to move large numbers of people," safety consultant and former NTSB managing director Peter Goelz told The Guardian March 1, "and it gets safer every year." And tragedies tend to result in new reforms. For instance, families affected by the 2009 Buffalo crash helped secure the passage of a federal aviation safety bill that required, among other things, the creation of a pilot performance database and a requirement that pilots have 10 hours of rest before flying. "We call each other the family we never wanted," Ron Aughtmon, who lost an uncle in the Buffalo crash, told CBS News last month of the relatives who joined forces to effect change. "Not many people know what flight 3407 is, and our job is to make sure that we keep our loved ones and the fight for airline safety at the forefront." 'One good thing that the aviation community does do is it really does learn from its past experiences and past accidents,' aviation attorney Jim Brauchle told USA Today in early February. "The [Federal Aviation Administration] has implemented or tried to implement a lot of programs where, if you report safety issues, there's no repercussions for things like that." Moreover, he continued, "Everything is pretty highly regulated. With aircraft we have so many redundant systems. If you have a failure of something there's usually a backup. Technology today has gotten so much better." Still, so many headlines about flying in 2025 have been of the alarming variety, so there's been a spotlight on all types of incidents.
