The Duggar Family
I would like to extend my well wishes and thoughts to the Duggar Family though this difficult period of their lives after welcoming their 19th baby, Josie Brooklyn Duggar yesterday, December 11th 2009 via emergency cesarean section for Pre-E after a hospital stay due to gallstones. Baby Josie was born at 25 weeks gestation at 1 pound 6 ounces.
Over the past 24 hours I have seen some of this most disgusting comments via the internet on news articles, and just message boards. Whether Michelle was on her 3rd or 30th child, Pre-E can happen to anyone at any age and during any pregnancy. This family may live differently than the vast majority of Americans, but seriously, if you want to say something negative, say it when mother and baby are far out of the woods, not when a micro preemie is fighting to live.
Some people never cease to amaze me.
Michelle has been such an amazing asset to the VBAC community in having 12 VBAC’s herself.
I can only hope in future years she will continue to work with and praise ICAN like she has in the past.
Thank you for this! I got into a very small debate on facebook with someone who said he was waiting for this to happen, not hoping, but he knew it would. Because he is favor of population control, and nature is seeing to it. Of course he wishes the best for the baby though. WTF? I too, was upset by many other negative and downright hateful comments circulating the web. But as I’ve said, people are mean-spirited, hateful, spiteful, people behind the sheild of a keyboard and computer screen!
Congrats Michelle. You are an inspiration to me. Im a mother of 12. I look to you for advise every morning here in nyc at 6 am while the children are dressing for school. Wishing you and the family the Blessing only God can provide. God Bless you
Amen!
my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.I
hope that baby josie is doing well.
Thank you!
And I hadn’t thought about the dynamic of being a VBACx12. With at least one of those VBACs being after 2 C/s. That sort of thing can help empower a lot of women!
