Michelle Duggar Makes Rare Appearance in Daughter Jessa’s Birth Vlog as She Delivers Baby No. 6

Jessa Duggar had her mother, Michelle Duggar, by her side as she gave birth to her sixth baby.

“So, I’m having contractions every three to five minutes,” Jessa, 32, said in a YouTube vlog posted on Saturday, August 2, as she walked up and down the steps at her mom’s house in Arkansas.

In a follow-up still, Jessa was seen lying in a hospital bed with Michelle, 58, on one side and a midwife on the other.

Jessa, who is expecting her sixth child with husband Ben Seewald, is one of the 19 children of Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar. The Counting On matriarch has seldom skipped one of her daughter’s deliveries.

“I think that she’s only missed two, but each of ours she’s been there,” Jessa’s sister Jinger Duggar, a mom of three, said on an April episode of her eponymous podcast. [My son] Finn is grandbaby No. 37 for my parents, and that is insane to think about.”

Jinger, 31, and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, live across the country in Los Angeles and welcomed their baby Finn in March.

“She came a week before, she stayed a week and a half after, and she’s fully committed,” Vuolo, 37, said on their podcast episode of his mother-in-law’s support before, during and after childbirth. “So she comes and serves. She’s, like, taking everything off of your plate every morning. I mean, she wakes up before any of us. It’s really sweet.”
