Now that it's been well over a year since Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald's youngest child, Fern, was born, fans are wondering if — and when — baby no. 5 will be on their way. And according to some rumors, it looks like Jessa might be pregnant right now, thanks to the way she's been behaving on social media.
Jessa has been MIA from social media lately
Fans also believe she's been trying to obscure her belly
In honor of turning 30 in November, Jessa shared this photo of herself getting donuts at Krispy Kreme to celebrate. Though she doesn't look pregnant in this picture, she might have been positioning the donuts to hide a baby bump — or at least, that's what some fans are thinking, according to CheatSheet.
But the theories don't end there, either …
The timing adds up, too
The site also pointed out that the age gaps between her existing children mean that the timing would be right for her to conceive again — if she wants to follow the same pattern, anyway. Now that Fern is 18 months old, it could be time for her to become a big sister herself … and it would solve the mystery of one of the missing Duggar grandbabies that Jim Bob mentioned in a YouTube video.
A lot to think about …
Time will tell if Jessa is actually pregnant
Until then, all we can do is wait for a reveal. And given the fact that she only recently finished renovating and moving into her new house, we wouldn't blame her at all if she wanted to avoid adding more kids to her crew until they're settled in. We'll find out soon enough!
