On October 5, Joy-Anna Duggar announced that she was pregnant with her third child. “Baby #3 is on the way!” she wrote on Instagram, uploading a snap of husband Austin Forsyth planting a kiss on her cheek as she held a sonogram in her hand. In a second slide, the “19 Kids and Counting” alum added a snap that included herself and her husband with their two kids. There was an outpouring of support for her pregnancy news when she posted it to Instagram, which included kind words from her sister, Jill Duggar. “Aaaah!! Congrats guys! Couldn’t be more excited for y’all!!” Jill commented. Tori Roloff of “Little People, Big World” also shared in the excitement. “Awe congratulations!! What a beautiful family you have!!” the TV personality replied.
Around the same time as the Instagram post, Joy-Anna uploaded a video to her and Forsyth’s YouTube page that documented their pregnancy journey so far. At the opening of the video, Joy-Anna is seen whispering to the camera while waiting for the results of an at-home pregnancy test. “We’ve been trying. I’m really, really excited if we are. If we’re not, then that’s fine too,” she said. Joy-Anna then erupted into tears when she found out the test was positive.
Later in the YouTube video, the former TLC star added footage from the couple’s visit to the doctor’s office for a check-up. Joy-Anna revealed that this pregnancy was “considered high risk” due to complications of previous pregnancies, but there was no cause for concern so far.
