Michelle Dugger’s baby was born prematurely weighing only 1 lb., 6 oz. This was her 19th baby and she suffered from preeclampsia, which is a pregnancy condition that causes high blood pressure. This condition effects 5 to 8 percent of pregnancies.
Michelle’s condition was noticed when she was admitted into the hospital for pain related to gallbladder problems. Doctors decided she needed an emergency c-section to prevent detrimental damage to her or her baby girl, Josie. Josie is in stable condition in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.
In my opinion, once you turn a certain age like Michelle and not to mention this was her 19th child!! I would say it’s time to chill on having the babies! I mean, they said themselves on their show that she has literally been pregnant for the last twenty years of their marriage. You would think Josie would’ve just been able to walk out after having that many kids! The Duggers have said they will have as many children as God allows them too. Well, I realize you don’t believe in birth control, obviously, and that each child is a blessing but come on, enough already! I’m gonna guess after twenty years of being pregnant, I would know when I’m ovulating and therefore when NOT to go near my husband! I just think it’s selfish on Mr. Duggers part to not give his wifey a break for crying out loud!
