How Tori Roloff & Zach tried to avoid heartbreak with Josiah

As viewers of the TLC show know, Tori Roloff suffered a devastating miscarriage, which cameras captured. Season 22 showed her telling her in-laws the happy pregnancy news, only to have to tell them the heartbreaking outcome.

The couple initially struggled to conceive again, but were finally blessed with their rainbow baby. They announced it to the public in November of 2021.

However, they learned from the miscarriage to keep the news under wraps for a bit. How long?

In a post to her Instagram, Tori revealed some details about how she and Zach avoided heartbreak with Josiah.

Monsters & Critics shared a screenshot of Tori’s response. In it, she says that with her rainbow baby, she waited until around 5 months before announcing her pregnancy.

However, she did tell those closest to her, people who “would want to rally around me.”

A few weeks after Josiah’s birth, the LPBW stars confirmed that he has dwarfism like his dad and siblings.

Will her birth story feature on LPBW?

Another of her Instagram followers wanted to know about Josiah’s birth story. Tori replied that it was “pretty straightforward.” The reality star shared that her water broke, so she went to the hospital for a c-section.

When she announced Josiah’s birth in April, she revealed that he came a few weeks earlier than expected.

Much of Season 23 of LPBW has focused on the growing tension between Zach and his father.

However, Tori revealed on social media that viewers will get a break from the family drama. “We shared some of [Josiah’s birth story] on LPBW,” she wrote.

Sounds like viewers will get to see some moments of Tori’s pregnancy and the arrival of Josiah Luke.
