Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar got some bad news at a routine check-up to find out the sex of their 20th child.
The doctor wasn’t able to find a heartbeat and told the couple they had miscarried.
Michelle said: "After the appointment, we came back home and told the children. We had just been talking about baby names last night and they were getting excited about naming a boy or a girl. It has been a real sad disappointment."
The family will choose a name after they know if the baby was a boy or girl, and then plan to have a funeral service.
Michelle said: "I feel like my heart broke telling my children. They have all been so excited about this baby and looking forward to April coming around and having a new little one in our arms. That was the most difficult. The Lord is the giver of life and he can choose when that life is ready to go on and be with Him."
This was the couple's second miscarriage. Michelle lost her baby during her second pregnancy.
