'19 Kids and Counting': Duggar Baby Jubilee Shalom's Memorial Service To Be Held Wednesday

Duggars Reveal Name Of Miscarried Baby

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, stars of the TLC reality show "19 Kids and Counting," have announced that they will be holding a memorial service on Wednesday for their unborn child, which they have named Jubilee Shalom, People Magazine reports.

Michelle was six months into her 19th pregnancy when she miscarried the baby last week.

The couple discovered the baby did not have a heartbeat at a routine ultrasound appointment, but doctors urged Michelle, 45, to let the miscarriage happen naturally.

Michelle previously suffered a miscarriage during her second pregnancy while taking oral birth control, according to Access Hollywood.

The memorial service will be held on Dec. 14, shortly after Michelle returns from the hospital where she is currently recovering, Entertainment Weekly reported.

A location has not yet be chosen for the public memorial, though the family held a private service at their home on Sunday, according to People.

The couple, who have previously said they no longer use birth control, faced plenty of criticism after they announced they were expecting their 20th child.

Josie, the couple's youngest child, who was born prematurely at 25 weeks, turned 2 on Dec. 10.

Correction:
Jubilee was Michelle Duggar's 19th pregnancy. A previous version of this story incorrectly stated Michelle has been pregnant 21 times. The Duggars have two sets of twins, and Michelle has experienced two miscarriages.
