You totally beat me to it. I was just about share.

All I have to say is craziness!

[britbratjf]

4 months of marriage before getting pregnant is better than 6 weeks?

Honestly I just do not get the rush! Her husband is 19! (Maybe 20 by now?) and she's like 22? Enjoy life a little! I've still never read anything of her saying they want to have as many as God gives them so maybe even though they are starting young they won't be crazy about it.

At least she got about 5 months of freedom. I was really hoping they'd wait. I feel sorry for her. And he's so young! How is he going to support them?

Agreed. I was really proud of them for talking about adopting and thought maybe they were being smart and waiting awhile. But apparently not. Do either of them even have jobs?

This was my first thought.  I got married at 22 and pregnant 2 years later, but holy shit are you even working right now???  I am sure she will be staying at home with the child(ren).  I really thought they were waiting.  Honestly though, I can't help but wonder if they used NFP and had a slip up, because the rest of them got pregnant pretty damn quickly.  Just speculation, though.

She didn't even last 4 months...She's pretty pregnant based on this picture. She's due Nov 1st.

Well I was wrong then.

The article says she's entering the second trimester.

Seriously, will this country eventually be taken over by Duggers?

I was just going to post this. Guess they decided to wait to share the news unlike Jill.

Honestly though, this is all those girls know which is sad. They only know raising children since they help raise their siblings. So I guess we shouldn't be surprised that they get out on their own & start having kids right away. They have no identity outside of being caretakers

[summergirl1211]

And also, I just can't get over how fertile both these Dugger kids and their spouses are. I mean, the likelihood of getting pregnant each month is what, 15% or so? And so many of them get KU the first, second or third month they're trying. Unreal.

My thoughts exactly.  Mind boggling!

I think it's 15-25 %. They're all pretty young though & maybe they just have a lot of sex (I mean wouldn't you want to?).

I was thinking this too. Their bodies have never been on BC, they are still so young. Their ovaries and eggs are dying to be implanted.

[junkytrunk]

Well, she did have to have something to keep in line with Jill. I mean Jill is getting all this publicity for her 70 hour long labor, Jessa has pretty much been forgotten about.

The rivalry between those 2 must be strong.

So she got pg February - ish. That is pretty quick.

[sarahandeddie]

Maybe their parents spike their food with clomid or something. Seems unreal they'd all get pg so fast.

[MissMusic]

My honest opinion?

Cult breeds cult.

[MissMusic]

Also, why is this news? Clown car vaginas creating clown car vaginas and media frenzy.

[starfishy]

She looks more pregnant in the picture than she should be. Weird.

starfishy, I thought that too! For only being 14ish weeks pregnant and with her first kid she seems pretty big. Especially since she's usually so tiny! 

[jodielyn10]

Both girls getting pregnant right away doesn't really suprise me at all...but then I got pregnant the first month I tried with both kids. As did most of my close friends that have babies. Actually, of the 10 or so close friends of mine who all have babies, I know that 6 got pregnant first month of trying.

I got pregnant the first month of trying both times too.

[paddyb]

we were 3rd month with Henry (3rd month off BC, not watching my cycle or anything.) and 1st month with Greta.

I thought the same thing with Jill too.  She seemed to show pretty early too.  Thats why when I saw the picture of Jessa in the link, I was a little surprised.

Damn. I guess since I'm somewhat fertility challenged I didn't realize what "normal" would be like!

I don't know how reliable this is but from googling I found: Of all couples trying to conceive: 30 percent get pregnant within the first cycle (about one month) 59 percent get pregnant within three cycles (about three months) 80 percent get pregnant within six cycles (about six months)

[sarasansh]

Crazy! Although I'm not at all surprised. Ben also comes from a large family (7 kids, I think?) and I get the impression they are more in line with Duggar mentality than Derrick's mom. Also, from my Duggar stalking online it sounds like Ben wants to pursue becoming a minister in their faith so I think despite their less culty vibe they're just as cray cray as the others.

I was going to say this. They have been taught that sex is this "special" act and it is so hyped up by creepy Jim Bob that they probably do it all the time. Plus they don't work (or at least the girls don't) so they have lots of time to get it on.

[USCgirl]

I guess we could all assume it was bound to happen sooner rather than later with the Duggar history and all. She is due four days before me. It would be kind of weird if we both delivered the same day. I wish them the best.
