Fans Think Jessa Duggar’s Social Media Silence Could Mean She’s Pregnant With Baby No. 6

Just over a year after Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald welcomed their fifth child, son George, into the world, are they already expecting another? Counting On fans certainly seem to think so after her social media behavior has been a bit unusual lately — not to mention the fact that she recently missed her sister Jinger‘s baby shower.

The speculation seems to have begun on Reddit, where fans brought up just how quiet Jessa’s been on Instagram lately. Until Wednesday, she hadn’t shared anything at all since January 31, which some fans believe is a sign she’s hiding a pregnancy.

“Anyone know if she has really bad morning sickness with pregnancy?” one person asked. “If she is going for 2.5 year spacing, it would be a little soon but not impossible.”

Another person wondered if it was just because Jana Duggar, who could have been the mastermind behind Jessa’s content, moved out and lives in another state. “She doesnt have Jana around to help her film and edit videos,” one person wrote.

Not long after the speculation began, Jessa returned to Instagram, posting three different photos and videos.

One of the posts showed daughters Ivy and Fern riding around on a hover board inside the house, while another was a video of George, showing off the results of his first haircut.

Finally, Jessa posted a photo of Ben during what looks like a kid-free date, writing, “My fav person in the whole wide world.”

But Jessa’s Instagram activity isn’t the only clue that something might be up. She was also missing from sister and BFF Jinger’s recent baby shower. Even though it was in California, their sister Joy-Anna still made the trip.

On Jinger’s post about the shower, Jessa wrote, “You are glowing! So wish I could’ve been there to celebrate with you in person! Can’t wait to meet this baby!”

It’s always possible she couldn’t travel because she’s pregnant … or for a hundred other reasons, of course. Let’s not forget that she’s a mom of five, which doesn’t exactly make it easy for someone to pick up and fly across the country for a weekend!

Time will tell what’s going on with Jessa, so we may just have to wait this one out a bit. Who knows? A big announcement could be right around the corner.
