Fans Shocked By This Bates Family Feat

Some Bringing Up Bates fans on Reddit discussed one of the most unbelievable feats of the Bates family.

  • “Yup, I always think about this! I only have 4 kids and 2/4 are identical twins who were born by c-section. It’s crazy that Kelly had 19 single births, and no grand kids have been a set of twins yet.”
  • “I’m even more amazed there really are no children with obvious disabilities save Addallee being hearing impaired. The Autism rate is extremely high and Kelly had several geriatric pregnancies.”
  • “You also have to remember most of the bates babies are born around 37 weeks so no big babies to complicate things and besides whitney I don’t think any have had to worry about a breech baby yet.”
  • “This is an interesting observation! I wonder how c sections are viewed in the fundie community, maybe they are frowned upon and as a result no Bates c sections? Or no public Bates c sections. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some Gothard thing about being “less of a woman” if you have a c section.”
  • “Fraternal twins have a genetic component, so that’s not surprising. There aren’t any twins in my family either. I also feel like c-sections also can be caused by genetic factors too.”

Bringing Up Bates: Gil & Kelly Jo Bates Beating Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar Soon?

Some Reddit users from a different thread also discussed how Gil and Kelly Jo may be a few steps closer to beating Jim Bob and Michelle’s record of having the most grandkids. According to the poster, it may only be a matter of time before more Bates children announce a pregnancy, which may break the Duggar family’s 33 grandkids.
