What a horrible thing to do to people who have only just had a miscarriage. I hope Josiah and Lauren don't see this or hear about it from anyone.

It’s gone now thank goodness .That shit added to the Duggar wiki does not ever last for long .

Noticed it was gone, I just hope no one asks them if they are expecting on social media because they saw it on Wikipedia, I would hope people would have the sense not to but given half the insensitive crap I have saw people ask on celebrities and people in the public eye's social media, I won't be shocked if they ask.

I think I know how that rumour started. Someone at the Pickles group took a screenshot of this post on Josiahs FB-page. (I think the post is removed now, I can't find it). 

[tabitha2]

That is an odd thing for a husband whose wife has just miscarried to share I will give you that .The Duggar mind is funny sometimes though.

It's not totally impossible that Lauren is pregnant again. Their miscarriage happened 6 months ago (or something like that), and they said that they hoped to add to their family in the near future. But they haven't announced anything, and even if the Duggars aren't my flavour, I think it's common sense to not assume anything about pregnancies. Especially not in this case. 

[Audrey2]

If they are expecting (and I am not going to speculate either way), I wouldn't be surprised if they wait longer to make an announcement because of their loss.

[Carm_88]

It's completely possible that Lauren could be pregnant again. I hope it's a healthy pregnancy if she is. 

[Pete Pickles]

I think she’s pregnant and Abbie is too. This could definitely be a “hey pregnant people, let’s pose together!”  photo op. 

I know nothing to be fact. All aboard my speculation bus.

[tabitha2]

Seems like Reasonable speculation. The way JD is holding her could very well be a sign.

He could have posted that in preparation for a sibling's gender reveal. It looks like the date is just preset. Wouldn't it be too early to know the sex of a baby due November 2019? (I actually dont know, no babies here)

If it was, they missed Jessa. But that's definitely possible, especially with how Abbie and John's hands are placed. That's either "I'm new to PDA poses and suck at them" "I'm fundie and pose awkwardly with my spouse" or "let's emphasize your nit quite there yet baby bump"

[TheMustardCardigan]

I agree, it kind of looks like a picture with the pregnant girls and their husbands. Maybe it was some sort of activity or get-together that Jessa wasn't present for? 

[VelociRapture]

If she really is pregnant and really is due in November then she’d only be between 7 and 11 weeks. Many people still choose not to announce until after 12 weeks at the earliest. I find it somewhat unlikely that they’d have let news like this slip unintentionally this early considering her prior loss, but I could always be wrong. 

Personally I’m not going to speculate about whether any of them are pregnant, but I’m especially not going to speculate about Lauren. She clearly had a pretty tough time emotionally dealing with their loss and it just seems really cruel to speculate about the contents of her womb for that reason. It’s likely she’d never see anything written here, but we know the Duggars are aware this site exists and I’m not willing to risk causing them additional unnecessary pain. I’m more than happy to snark on their crappy beliefs, but I’ve been through a loss myself and I know how painful it can be to deal with.

It depends. Many couples who find out the sex ahead of the birth still find out during the anatomy scan between 16 and 20 weeks. There are blood tests that can be performed earlier though. I think bloodwork done at the same time as a Nuchal Translucency ultrasound can reveal the presence of male DNA in the mother’s blood, which would only be present if the baby were male - that scab is time sensitive and performed between 11 and 13 weeks. I’m due November 22nd and mine is scheduled for the first week of May when I’ll be 12 weeks (not sure if we’ll actually do it, but it was better to schedule it just in case since appointments can fill up fast at our hospital.) I also believe there are home blood tests that can be done even earlier than that, but I don’t think the accuracy of those has been consistently proven.  

[tabitha2]

Does JDs expression remind anyone else a little bit of Jack Nicholson in the Shining?

“Here’s Johnny D!”

[VeryNikeSeamstress]

Kendra doesn't seem to be showing yet. Jabbie's pose screams pregnant. She's definitely the next announcement. If Lauren's pregnant I hope everything goes well. I know people who've had multiple miscarriages in the same year, and it sounds like a terrible emotional roller coaster. I bet it's a million times worse for somebody in a breeding cult.

[singsingsing]

The sign looks to be just a sample sign. Someone's selling these, you can almost certainly have it customized, and for whatever reason, Josiah shared it. Maybe it's a friend's business, maybe the business is doing a giveaway and they want a baby announcement sign or a completely unrelated sign. One of my friends from high school and his wife have a business making signs like this. They're really cute, and they make a whole variety. So it really could be anything.

Are you talking about NIPT tests like Nifty? 

[Glasgowghirl]

I think he was just sharing a business page, either because he knows the person or as a suggestion to Joe and Kendra, if they were expecting I highly doubt he would share the thing with the sex and due date before announcing it to anyone.

Pickles is again reaching, I do think their is a chance that Lauren, Abbie and Anna are either pregnant or will be in the next couple of months though.

[MaryOrMartha]

That picture definitely seems like a 3 pregnant Duggars thing. Might be why Jessa was not in the photograph, as she is no longer a Duggar, but is now a Seewald.

If we are taking bets put me down for $5 on this Duggar Baby Trifecta.

Kendra due in late September/early October, Lauren due late October/early November and Abbie due mid November.

I have no clue what the test is called. I’m not exactly clear on the specifics of the blood tests as I didn’t do them last time I was pregnant. I just know there are tests available that could tell you the sex early on.

I also know little about them but I did end up paying extra out of pocket (I live in an evil socialist healthcare country), the equivalent of about 600 usd, for Nifty testing at 12 weeks. They say it's available from 10 weeks onwards. Mainly because I'm 37 so my chromosomal risks are higher. We found out the sex when the results came.

[Melissa1977]

Kendra and Abbie always look sincerely  happy. But I never see Lauren happy. Maybe it's her personality and she's truly happy and relaxed inside. But there's something unnatural in her (in my opinion) and I think it's because she wants to appear as a grown-up perfect wife and it doesn't fit a woman sooo young. Like she's not being herself. But again, it's just an impression.

[medimus]

It is the NIPT (non invasive prenatal testing); It has different commercial names in different countries.

They take blood, then separate out foetal cells from the mother's blood and check the chromosomes. So the aim is to check for chromosomal disorders, but they can find out sex as well.  It is very rarely incorrect and it isn't invasive.

Depending on the specific one (and whether you count from LMP or conception) it can be done from 10 or 12 weeks.

[allthegoodnamesrgone]

I'm guessing Lauren was looking at stuff and accidentally posted the sign and when it was realized it was removed. We've all posted shit we didn't mean too, it could be she's looking for herself or for Abbie or just looking.

I do think this is the start of the onslaught of babies. By the time the end of the year, I think there will be 6-7 new grandchildren either born or on the way. 

Basically, the only one I think that won't have anything to announce by 2020 is Jinger.
