Jessa Duggar Welcomed Her Third Child On Family Home Before She Was Rushed To The Hospital

• The Counting On star Jessa Duggar gave birth to her third child, Ivy at home before she was rushed to the hospital.
• Duggar told the birth of their little bundle of joy went entirely against their plan as she gave birth ten days before the due date.
• Jessa told her midwife left for her home on the day her water broke and they hired a new midwife to deliver the child.
• After the baby's birth, Jessa was taken to the hospital as she hadn't stopped bleeding.

Days after Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald welcomed their third child, a baby girl together, it has been revealed that the baby girl was delivered at home before the mother and daughter were rushed to the hospital.

The Counting On star, 26, revealed in a video released by TLC on Wednesday, 19th June that baby Ivy Jane's birth didn't go as they had planned. She said,

Our birth plan through this whole pregnancy was that we would deliver at a birthing suite at the hospital with a midwife there. However, the morning that my water broke was the morning that my midwife had left town for a week.

Jessa gave birth to her daughter ten days before her due date. She further told she was not expecting to go early as they thought they had two weeks left before the baby comes.

Then, the couple called a different midwife and delivered the baby on the family couch. But, before the delivery, Jessa walked up and down the stairs to get her contractions going.

Jessa was taken to the hospital following the birth of their girl as she hadn't stopped bleeding. There she was given some medication. Jessa and Ben introduced their two children; Spurgeon and Henry to their new little sister and other family members also arrived at the hospital to meet Ivy.
