Re: Duggar BA
I love Gideon. Martyn is fine considering it's a family name. I do like Martin after all. I just wish Joy and Austin weren't so young. I thought Jinger and Joy would be the first escapees.

A 'Duggar insider' recently did an AMA on reddit and claimed Joy is among the most conservative girls in the family. At least Jinger sometimes wears pants. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can you please link the AMA? Did they verify at all (even if anonymous verification)?

The moderators did verify her identity. She's not super close with the family (hasn't been to any of their homes or anything) but does interact with them on various occasions.https://www.reddit.com/r/19KidsandCounting/comments/7z95bx/real_duggars/

Also...Holy shit! 10 pound 3?!?! Joy deserves a medal. That's one big boy. All the Duggar girls so far have had some big bubbas.

I have a feeling since they are in to all sorts of home birth woo stuff that they might not be treating gestational diabetes which can lead to large babies. Its just a thought, though.

I'm fairly positive that both Jessa and Jill were treated for GD with one or both of their sons. The Duggars aren't into as much "woo" as other fundie families. They do seem to vaccinate (they at least have no issues doing so for international travel to my knowledge) and they do engage in prenatal care for sure.The most advanced medical care around saved micro-premie, Josie. They might stubbornly keep going "home birth" but they've also shown no hesitation for hospital births and cesarians when necessary.

Ahh, okay. I don't follow them much but being a part of that homebirth stuff often involves a lot of other questionable birth and childcare decisions.
