Josiah Duggar and his wife Lauren (née Swanson) have revealed she suffered a miscarriage in October, just weeks after finding out she was pregnant with their first child. “I wasn’t feeling well. I was cramping really, really bad, which was quite strange because I normally don’t,” Lauren, 19, explained in an upcoming clip of TLC’s “Counting On” provided to Page Six. “I was thinking maybe I had something that had gluten in it. That’s what I was thinking. Well, it was late at night and I went to use the restroom and right there was the baby. Gone.” She added, through tears, “I couldn’t believe it and I was hoping it wasn’t true. It was the worst day of my life.” Josiah, 22, said the pair were prepping for a trip to a friend’s wedding when it happened. “It really was a hard time for our family just going through this right after we got married,” he said in a video posted by TLC on Monday. “All the dreams of getting to see our little one and hold it in our hands were dashed before our eyes.” Lauren added that they wanted to share their story because a lot of people go through the same type of experience, but “no one really talks about it.” “We just wanted to let y’all know you’re not alone,” she said. Josiah then thanked fans for their prayers and support.

Josiah and Lauren Duggar tied the knot last June and had hoped to have another happy announcement to share with their fans by now, as shortly after their nuptials, Lauren learned she was pregnant with their first child. But in a promo for the new season of "Counting On," the reality TV couple revealed that they never had the chance to share that good news before bad news struck. "Lauren and I were actually preparing for a trip to go to a friend’s wedding," Josiah, 22, explained in a People-exclusive clip. "She started feeling really sick and started noticing some different things. ... I didn't know exactly what was going on." Nor did his 19-year-old bride — at first. "I wasn’t feeling well," she said. "I was cramping really, really bad, which was quite strange because I normally don’t. I was thinking maybe I had something that had gluten in it." Lauren couldn't hold back her tears as she continued the story. "It was late at night, and I went to use the restroom and ... there was the baby. Gone," she sobbed. "I couldn’t believe it, and I was hoping it wasn’t true." But sadly, it was. While the couple could have elected to keep their pain private, they decided to open up about it on the series, and in another clip, they explained why. Your browser does not support iframes.
