Jessa is sharing the birth story on YouTube with two new videos. The first reveals the reality star was having “a lot of contractions” all the way back on July 13. She described them as feeling like Braxton Hicks contractions, but “rhythmic” and “consistent.”
At one point, Jessa and Ben’s adorable kiddos Spurgeon, 5, Henry, 4, and daughter Ivey, 2, also make an appearance as they try to guess the baby’s gender.
Fast-forward a few days, and Jessa was up at 3 a.m. Sunday with contractions that felt like the “real deal.” By 3:30 p.m. that day, she was checking into the hospital. At that point, the video cuts off, teasing “to be continued.”
The second video takes viewers through Jessa's labor and delivery as the couple welcomes a baby girl!
Their daughter, Fern Elliana, weighed 8 lbs., 5 oz. and measured 21 inches. Watch the video!
The “19 Kids and Counting” and “Counting On” alums announced the pregnancy in February, writing on Instagram, “We’re looking forward to summertime, and here’s our No. 1 reason! Thank you, God, for this precious gift!” She included “#RainbowBaby 🌈” to signify a pregnancy after loss.
