Jessa Duggar Gets Medical Scare; Rushed To The ER After Bloody Labor

In the finale episode of the '19 Kids and Counting' spinoff  'Jill and Jessa: Counting On,' it has been revealed that Jessa Duggar had a rather bloody and messy labor, which caused panic and led her husband Ben Seewald rushing her to the emergency room. In the said episode, Jessa tried to induce labor by taking a walk with her sisters -- it happened to work so well that she felt intense contractions after!

Thanks to her midwife sister, Jill Duggar, she was able to safely deliver the baby boy while some family members were there to watch. After 30 hours of grueling labor, she finally gave birth to her first baby, Spurgeon Elliott. 

The 23-year-old mother welcomed baby Spurgeon last November 5, and she has recently posted adorable photos of him on social media just in time for Christmas. The happy family proudly showed off Quincy -- Spurgeon's new nickname, in his cute holiday-themed onesies. It looks like all is well for the Duggar-Seewald household!

Now that they have baby Quincy around, is Jessa Duggar going to follow in her mother's footsteps and have a lot of children? A new report says that she wants 15 children with 20-year-old husband Ben, but they'd rather adopt brothers for baby Quincy. This desire was rooted from Jessa's visit at a nearby orphanage with sister Jill. She felt 'heartbroken' that the children at the orphanage didn't have anybody to properly care for them, thus, she entertained the idea of adopting one so that Spurgeon could have someone with him as he grows up -- much like Jessa Duggar's huge family.

Jessa's 24-year-old sister Jill seems to approve and understand where they're coming from, as she says, "I can definitely relate to Jessa and Ben's desire to adopt and to meet those needs. We both think it's a wonderful thing. We've talked about it a lot and are definitely considering it."
