Joy-Anna Duggar may be done having kids

Joy-Anna Duggar is contemplating the future size of her family, sharing her thoughts on whether she and her husband, Austin Forsyth, plan to have more children after their fourth arrives. The couple is expecting their new baby in 2027, a joyous occasion they announced in September.

During a discussion on her sister Jinger Duggar Vuolo's podcast, Joy-Anna admitted that neither she nor Austin are certain about continuing their family growth. Austin has expressed that this current pregnancy might be their last, prompting heartfelt conversations between the couple about reaching the end of their childbearing phase. Joy-Anna described this potential transition as bittersweet.

This period of reflection follows Joy-Anna's past experience with a miscarriage at 20 weeks in 2019, an event she discussed emotionally on Jinger's podcast in July 2025. She recalled having a 'gut feeling' that something might be wrong during her pregnancy and described the ultrasound appointment as a numbing experience. She expressed gratitude for the support of her mother and her close support system during that profoundly difficult time.
