Jessa Duggar posted an emotional 18-minute video to YouTube Friday, revealing she had a miscarriage before Christmas while she was pregnant with her fifth baby.
"I was just in complete shock," she said, adding she had allowed herself to become"hopeful" because there was little spotting."I didn’t even have words. I just immediately started crying. And I was so, so thankful in that moment that I had not gone to that appointment by myself because I almost did. And Ben was there, and he put his arms around me."
After she lost the baby, she had to go to the hospital for a surgical procedure. She said the most"devastating" part was"waking up after the procedure was over and having this hollow feeling inside because you know that the life that was in you is no longer there, and you never did get to see your baby and say those goodbyes."
The 10 to 15 minutes after the procedure"laying there cold and alone before I was taken back to the room where Ben and my mom were waiting were probably some of the hardest of my life," she said. said she questioned if she had done anything wrong during her pregnancy, like not taking her prenatal vitamins because she had severe morning sickness.
"But we can know that we didn’t purposefully do anything to harm our baby," she added of mothers who experience that loss. "It’s been a journey and one that I’m still on, but I can say I’m so thankful to have my four babies and to be able to come home that night and hug my little ones. It’s just such a tremendous comfort."Duggar said she told her husband she couldn’t imagine being a woman who lost her first baby and didn't have a child to hold when she returned home.
"Walking through loss, your heart goes out to moms who struggle with infertility who have lost babies. It’s very painful," she said.
