Jessa Duggar announces the birth of her fourth child as she shares intimate photo with her newborn baby: ‘Baby Seewald number four has arrived!’

Jessa Duggar has welcomed her fourth child with her husband Ben Seewald. 

The TLC star, 28, announced the newest addition to her family on her Instagram account on Monday, posting an intimate photo of herself crying as she held the newborn in her arms.

Unlike her past three pregnancies, which were all home deliveries, Jessa opted to give birth to her fourth child in the hospital.  

‘Baby Seewald #4 has arrived!’ she jubilantly announced in the caption.

Jessa also urged fans to check out her YouTube channel, which contained video capturing the days leading up to her big day.   

The reality star recently revealed she had intended to delivery her fourth child in the hospital following three previous home births — with two that ultimately sent her to the hospital in an ambulance. 

Jessa had given birth to five-year-old Spurgeon, four-year-old Henry, and two-year-old daughter Ivy at home, but twice experienced dangerous hemorrhaging that saw her rushed to the hospital immediately following delivery.

Jessa and Ben announced that they are expecting once again in February, and fans speculated on whether she would attempt another home birth after her scary experience with Ivy.
