Duggar News: Jessa’s Sister Jordyn Steps In During Baby #6’s Birth
Duggar News followers were left in shock after Jessa Duggar revealed an unexpected twist during the delivery of her sixth child. While fans assumed her husband, Ben Seewald, would play a central role in the big moment, he quietly stepped aside when it came time for an important task. That’s when Jessa’s younger sister, Jordyn, came to the rescue.
In a new YouTube video, Jessa explained that Ben has always had a “weak stomach” when it comes to medical details, especially during childbirth. Even after experiencing six births, he made it clear that he had no intention of cutting the baby’s umbilical cord. According to Jessa, Ben simply laughed and said, “No, thank you,” when asked if he wanted to do it. Instead, Jordyn—who was attending one of her sister’s births for the very first time—was thrilled to step in.
Jessa described the moment as “sweet and memorable,” noting that Jordyn was both nervous and excited. In the end, her younger sister proudly cut the cord and later shared that the experience was “really cool” and “awesome.” For fans, it was surprising to see Jordyn step into such an important role, but Jessa emphasized how meaningful it was to share that memory with her.
Of course, Ben wasn’t completely absent during the process. While he avoided the cord-cutting, he remained by Jessa’s side throughout labor, making sure she was comfortable and cared for. Jessa’s mother, Michelle Duggar, was also present. According to Jessa, her mom provided constant support, encouragement, and guidance throughout the birth.
Beyond the family dynamics in the delivery room, Jessa is also drawing attention for the way she has shared her story online. Her multi-part YouTube series documenting the birth has already racked up impressive numbers. In just a few days, her videos have pulled in more than 800,000 views, and she has gained nearly 5,000 new subscribers. Reports suggest she has already earned around $2,000 from ad revenue for just the second installment alone.
Fans are eagerly following her uploads not only for the behind-the-scenes look at her labor but also in hopes of finally learning the name and gender of baby number six. Jessa has cleverly held back that reveal, keeping viewers hooked as she continues to release new episodes. It’s clear that she knows how to build anticipation and engagement—and it’s paying off.
For longtime Duggar watchers, this latest story highlights both the lighthearted and heartfelt sides of Jessa’s growing family. While Ben may never find the courage to cut the cord, Jordyn’s excitement brought a unique and joyful energy to the birth. Combined with Michelle’s steady presence, it became a true family moment that Jessa is eager to share with her fans.
With the baby healthy and mom doing well, Duggar followers can expect more updates soon—including, hopefully, the much-anticipated name and gender announcement.
