If some eagle-eyed internet sleuths are to be believed, Jessa Duggar is pregnant with baby No. 5. In a popular Duggar Reddit community, someone posted photos of Jessa, along with sister Joy-Anna and mom Michelle, from a friend’s baby shower. The since-expired post shared pictures of Jessa and her friend side by side, and from the way Jessa was standing, it certainly looks like she’s pregnant.

The photo evidence is quite compelling.
The Sun was able to capture the photos, which came from a family friend's Instagram Stories, before they expired. In the pictures, Jessa is wearing a light green dress with a high waistline.
While her friend is visibly pregnant, the way Jessa’s dress hangs over her midsection makes it look like she’s also rocking a baby bump.
"So Jessa is having another blessing," one person commented on Reddit.
Everyone on Reddit is in agreement.
The comments rolled in from others who agreed with the theory.
"Jessa is absolutely pregnant," one person wrote. "She’s so skinny, there’s no way that’s baby weight from Fern. And her face is very full."
Another added: "Jessa’s coming for that #1 spot of who has the most grandkids. Move over Anna."
The baby shower pictures aren't the only clue.
Followers believe that these pictures aren’t the only clue.
Jessa and husband Ben Seewald recently uploaded a video of their daughter Fern’s second birthday, and Jessa was filming a lot, therefore staying behind the camera.
"I definitely think so from the video," one commenter on Reddit wrote. "I feel like I saw a bump and also the way she held her arms. It's been around 8 months since her loss, so timing checks too."
Pregnancy rumors have been circulating for a while now.
"I knew she was pregnant when she bought Fern the baby doll for her bday," another Reddit user replied. "She told us a long time ago that it's family tradition to buy the youngest a doll to prepare them for a new baby."
Earlier this summer, sister Jinger posted a video of a family outing, including Jessa and Ben. Jessa can only be seen briefly, and mostly from the back.
"Do we really care and would we be surprised?" one person commented on Reddit at the time. "No."

She could be keeping quiet for several reasons.
There has been a lot of speculation as to why Jessa hasn’t officially announced her pregnancy yet. Much of it stems from the video she made earlier this year revealing that she had a miscarriage.
One person noted: "She literally tried to monetize her miscarriage with a two-part video, a cliffhanger, and a sponsorship. That’s not healthy."
"Considering how the news of her D&C blew up all over the Internet, she’s probably laying low about all future babies," another commented.
