How does she afford these children? Or is she reliant on benefits? unsure which country she is from.
Everyone saying that it isnt fair on the older children having to look after the little ones; maybe they enjoy it?
I know a family with 7 kids (eldest 22 and youngest 8). NONE of the kids/teenagers like being in the house when its empty, they like having their brothers and sister around, and also, they all do stuff with the younger ones; take them swimming, make cakes etc. They dont HAVE to and nobody asks. They just like too I must add, that out of the 7 kids, there is only 1 girl, so it isnt a "girlie, mothering thing" either
Honestly she was told years ago not to have anymore children as it is dangerous for her and the babies, due to repeated c section scarring and pre eclampsia. I think she is stupid to get pregnant again josie was born at 25 weeks due to severe pre eclampsia, and she was told at the time it was very likely to happen again, she is stupidly risking her life to bring even more children into the world when she already has 19 children and 2 grandchildren to think about, how is it fair on her other kids that she is willing to put her life in danger repeatedly, I hope she reaches menopause before she manages to kill herself by having even more. I dont want to sound horrible but it the truth
Exactly WSS.... I think putting her life in danger and potentially leaving her other children without a mummy is really selfish.
Does that rule apply to everything ? Getting in a car = risking life. Going on holiday on a plane = risking life. Eating runny eggs and catching salmonella (or whatever you can get off eggs) = risking life

The difference is all her previous pregnancy drs now refuse to have anything to do with her pregnancys or deliver her children as it is so dangerous for her to carry on, thats more serious than day to day stuff like driving a car, she is purposely putting her self in serious danger of uterine rupture which is far more likely to happen than a car accident

Let me ask you this question how would you feel having 20 siblings and the older ones raising you, your parents having no time for you at all... pretty much ignoring you your whole life?

I have to agree. On one hand I know many mothers who have had pre-eclampsia and micro preemies who are swaying about whether they should TTC again to add to their (small in comparison) family, and they do question whether this is a selfish decision or not. But we're talking about a woman with 19 children already. Isn't this enough? How long is she gonna go on like this for? What if they are all prem after this? Because she leaves it in gods hands, I cant see her stopping, and thats when it becomes selfish imo.
Theres got to be a point where you draw the line.
I think large families are great but the movement the Duggars are part of believes women should continue to have as many kids as physically possible; even if their life is in danger. This movement puts a lot of pressure on women and those who do space or prevent kids for medical reasons risk ostracism from others within the movement. I don't think this is right xx
I think it's perfectly reasonable that people would be against it due to the health risks, I guess what offends me is people writing her off as a terrible mother because she has 20 children and can't possibly be a good mother because of it. There's been some really uncalled for comments here about that.

I think I read somewhere you saying that they want as many kids as possible to outnumber Muslims? Really?
You guys are talking about her being selfish because of her health and other kids.. if she is having other kids just to outnumber another religion.. that may I add has the same God... I think THAT is selfish. I had a child because I wanted a child.. not to fight some imaginary religious war.
