Why did they wait so long to make an announcement?

In their post, John-David and Abbie Duggar didn’t spill any details about why they kept the news under wraps for so long. If she’s due in “late summer,” she is likely due in just a couple of months.

It’s worth noting that many members of the Duggar family have continued to lay low since Josh was found guilty in December of 2021. So, this could explain why John-David and Abbie decided not to share anything publicly for so long.

On Reddit, Duggar Snarkers are talking about John-David and Abbie’s baby news. Many of them are wondering why she waited to announce her pregnancy.

One Reddit user points out, “assuming abbie is due in august, she seemed to keep it private for a while.”

Someone speculates, “I think the reason why is because she’s in the 2nd trimester now and her announcement with Gracie was in her 1st and her HG may have settled down as she progressed.”
