Joy-Anna Duggar pregnant again after miscarriage

Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant.

The “19 Kids and Counting” star, 22, announced Wednesday that she and husband Austin Forsyth are expecting a baby girl in August.

“Yes… it’s true,” she wrote on Instagram. “[Austin] and I are PREGNANT again! It’s been quite the crazy journey these last few months, but we are so thankful that mom and baby are healthy!”

Austin, 26, and Joy-Anna got hitched in May 2017 and were joined by their first son, Gideon, in 2018. In May 2019, Joy-Anna revealed that she was pregnant again. She then suffered a miscarriage in July.

The couple were expecting a girl, whom they named Annabell Elise. “Although we don’t understand why, God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time,” Joy-Anna wrote on Instagram at the time. “Yes, it still hurts and we have cried countless tears, but we know that we can trust the Lord.”
