Fans speculate about Abbie Duggar’s pregnancy

Shortly after John and Abbie got married, Duggar fans began speculating about when they would start a family. They got married on November 3, 2018.

After Grandma Duggar tragically passed away, Jessa Seewald, John’s sister, shared a post on Instagram hinting at another Duggar pregnancy. In her post, she said, “She was so excited about the many new great-grandbabies due this coming fall and winter, and it never got old for her. She welcomed each new baby with joy and would hold them with such tenderness and delight. We will keep her stories and memories alive for these little ones, but we’re sad that they will not have the blessing of knowing her in person as we have.”

Fans noticed that all of the women in the family who had announced their pregnancies were due in November, which is the fall. Fans thought that there must be another pregnant woman waiting to announce that she is expecting. Immediately, fans guessed that it would be Abbie.

In a recent post on John and Abbie’s Instagram page, John has his arms around Abbie and his hands are resting on her stomach. Fans thought that this might be a sign that she is pregnant as well.
