Should Josie Brooklyn Duggar be considered lucky she was born?”
Michelle Duggar gave birth to a baby girl December 10 after doctors performed an emergency c-section, TLC shared in a press statement. Michelle Duggar had been previously admitted to hospital suffering from gallstones. The new daughter was born prematurely and weighed in at only 1lb., 6 oz. The Duggars have given baby #19 a name: Josie Brooklyn Duggar. TLC shares that Josie Brooklyn is “stable” and in the neonatal intensive-care unit at the University of Arkansas’ medical center. TLC added: “Michelle was taken to the OR for an emergency c-section. The most important thing right now is for Mom and baby Josie to get as much rest as possible.
The Duggar family will have to add another seat at their already large table for the holiday season 18 Kids and Counting stars Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar welcomed their nineteenth child — a baby girl who was born prematurely — on Thursday evening, People reported Friday. Josie Brooklyn Duggar was delivered at 6:27PM via emergency C-section at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and weighed 1 lb., 6 ounces. Michelle was not due until early March, however she was taken to the hospital earlier this week to have a gallstone removed. The pain from the gallstone caused Michelle to have early contractions, a TLC spokesperson told People, leading to the early arrival of her nineteenth child. Michelle is resting comfortably and Josie Brooklyn is in stable condition and in the NICU for extended care, a TLC representative told People. “The most important thing right now is for mom and baby Josie to get as much rest as possible,” reads a TLC statement obtained by People.
