Just weeks after Jessa Duggar announced that she’s expecting her sixth child with husband Ben Seewald, she’s sharing an update with her followers. In her new YouTube vlog, Jessa caught up fans on the big life changes she’s been going through recently, but many could only focus on one thing: how different she looks.
Jessa shared what her family has been up to in recent months.
Because she’s been less active on social media recently, Jessa spent the video getting fans up to speed on all of the big changes in her family, which included plenty of weddings and new babies.
And as for her pregnancy? She shared how excited she is about her baby arriving this summer, along with a close-up look at a recent ultrasound photo.
“We are looking forward to meeting this sweet little one that God has blessed us with,” she said.
Critics were paying more attention to Jessa’s appearance.
I barely recognized Jessa. And she sounds different too, a bit like Meech.

Over on Reddit, one user posted about Jessa’s vlog, admitting that they “barely recognized” her, while others in the comments agreed. One commenter even said that she appears to be “morphing” into her mom, Michelle Duggar.
“Her hair seems much thinner. That’s what is making her look different to me,” one person wrote.
Other commenters blamed the changes on pregnancy, which does cause swelling, including in the face.
Others were concerned about the way her personality seems to have shifted.
There’s no doubt that raising five children under the age of 10 while also being pregnant would take a toll on a person’s energy levels, but some people think it might go deeper for Jessa than just being a tired mom.
“She’s lost all the personality she had before kids. I’d always thought that she was going to be the one to break more rules after marriage and have a couple kids,” read one comment.
“I wonder if she misses the old Jessa? The one full of energy and in to coffee and fashion and organizing things with her sisters?” another user wrote. “She’s a shell of herself.”
For Jessa, life seems to be business as usual.
If Jessa has read any of the negative comments following her vlog, she hasn’t let it show. On Instagram, she’s been sharing posts about her kids and her home decor – the norm for her social media posts.
Let’s just hope that she’s getting enough time to rest as she gets closer to the third trimester. She’s definitely going to need it!
