Jessa Duggar took to social media once again to share updates of her pregnancy as she enters her 28th week. Reaching out to her 174,000 followers on Twitter, the former ’19 Kids and Counting’ star shared a photo where she posed in front of the Staten Island Ferry terminal in New York City with her husband Ben Seewald.
With only a few months before giving birth, the mother-to-be dressed her growing belly in an aqua top, drawing attention to her new curves.
Jessa also tweeted a photo from aboard the ship and jokingly said that she has already reached "that point in your pregnancy where your belly button start to act like a pop-up turkey timer!"
The Arkansas-based reality star is expected to give birth on Nov. 1, her one-year wedding anniversary with Ben. The couple’s NYC vacation, which is likely to involve filming for TLC’s documentary about victims of sexual abuse titled ‘Breaking the Light, comes a month after ’19 Kids and Counting’ was cancelled.
The network made the decision to put the show off-air in the wake of the molestation scandal involving Jessa’s older brother, Josh Duggar.
While opening up about the issue last June in an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly, Jessa and sister Jill Duggar confirmed that they were among their brother’s victims. After reports of his molestation scandal surfaced, Josh later apologized and stated that he had "acted inexcusably."
Both Jessa and Jill are expected to appear on ‘Breaking the Silence,’ which will premiere Aug. 30 at 10 p.m.
"In light of recent events around 19 Kids and Counting—and in an effort to promote education, raise awareness and advance the conversation on this important matter—TLC has partnered with two of the nation's leading abuse prevention organizations, RAINN and Darkness to Light, on a new documentary addressing the issue," the network said to E! News in their official statement.
However, the sisters will not be doing interviews in the TV special; they will simply be shown as they attend the “Stewards for Children” event for a seminar featuring abuse survivor David Moody.
“A compelling part of the documentary will be a look inside a training session held in New York City earlier in August that included Jill and Jessa Duggar,” the non-profit organization posted on their website. “Through viewing the Docutraining® that features survivors, community members, and experts as well as participating in a facilitator-led discussion, attendees are able to see how they can better protect the children in their lives through practicing the five steps of prevention.”
