The couple also shared a YouTube video about the big announcement, which they directed their followers too. It turns out that they shared the exciting news at the Duggar family Christmas. This was back in December, so Joy-Anna has been hiding her pregnancy for a while now. The whole family seemed overjoyed to hear the exciting news.

Joy-Anna previously lost baby at 20 weeks gestation
Duggar fans may remember that Joy-Anna had a tragic loss at 20 weeks gestation. She went in to find out the baby’s gender, but there was no heartbeat. They named the baby Annabell Elise. This was last summer. Fans have been waiting for another pregnancy announcement from Joy-Anna, but they knew how heartbreaking this loss was for her.
In a recent YouTube Q&A, Joy-Anna and Austin talked about how difficult the loss was for them. They said that it had been a long eight months since the loss. Joy-Anna previously said that she wanted to heal before getting pregnant again. But, they did reveal that they did want more kids. Fans just didn’t know that Joy-Anna was actually pregnant when she filmed and released the video. When the video came out, there was some speculation that Joy-Anna was pregnant. But, nobody knew for sure, of course.
Many fans believe that Joy-Anna was waiting to make the announcement until she reached 20 weeks. She likely wanted to be cautious after her first loss.
