In this sweet clip, the sisters talk about their baby bumps, and Jill shares just how “massive” she felt during her pregnancy.
“You are not as big as I was,” she says to younger sister Jessa.
“Yes, I am.” Jessa laughs while holding her bump. “I just wear lots of dark colors.”
Also seen in this clip is Jill, who is a licensed midwife, using a fetal Doppler to check the baby’s heartbeat and examining Jessa’s baby bump. Jessa also touches on their parenting style, explaining that she and Ben differ a little on how they will approach parenting their new baby.
