Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald welcomed their first baby, son Spurgeon, 9, in November 2015. Their second son, Henry, 8, was born in February 2017, followed by their daughter Ivy, 6, in May 2019. After experiencing a pregnancy loss in 2020, Duggar welcomed another daughter, Fern, 3, in July 2021.

Earlier in August, Jessa shared the special way her mom Michelle Duggar supports her after birth in the second part of her birth vlog, posted on YouTube. After sharing that her mom was by her side as she gave birth to her sixth baby, son Edward Owen, Jessa revealed that Michelle also comes to stay with their family after she’s given birth.

In the video, Jessa said her mom is “absolutely wonderful. She was there with me every step of the way, helping me, supporting me, coaching me.”

“My mom is such a treasure. She stays with us after we have a baby and she will care for the baby all night if we need her to,” she continued. “Do whatever, sit up with the baby.”

She went on to explain that the first 24 hours after having a baby can be really hard, and she’s always checking her baby to make sure that he’s okay.

“It’s super helpful. My mom is always there. She’s like, ‘I will take care of the baby. If you want to sleep, get some sleep, and I’ll look after the baby,’ ” Jessa shared. “So, you know, bring me the baby whenever it’s hungry, but then she’s there for those little sounds and noises to check on the bab,y and I can just actually relax and get some sleep.”

In that same video, Jessa revealed that her sister Jordyn-Grace, 16, played a special role in the birth of her sixth child. In the birth story video, Jessa said her sister was the one who cut the umbilical cord.

“It was a sweet moment when it came time to cut the cord. First of all, I said to [husband Ben], ‘You’ve never cut the cord. You should cut the cord this time.’ Teasing him mostly because I know he has a very weak stomach for such things,” Jessa said in the clip. “He’s a huge support and encouragement to me throughout labor, but he doesn’t want to be near all of that. So, he’s like, ‘No, thank you.’ ” 

“My sister, Jordyn, this was her first time to be at one of my births. And so, I said, ‘Jordyn, you should cut the cord.’ And she was really excited about that,” she continued. “So, she got to cut the cord. She’s like, ‘Wow, this is awesome. This is so cool.’ That was a sweet moment.”
