In October 2021, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard took to their social media handles to reveal that they had lost their baby by sharing a video on Instagram and YouTube which showcased the moment they first found out that they were pregnant.
Another clip showed them telling their two sons the exciting news that another baby was on the way and celebrating with a pizza party. However, they suffered heartbreak soon after.
Taking to their official website, at the time, the couple revealed that their kids were thrilled when they heard the news of her pregnancy.
"They were full of questions and so excited as we talked about the pregnancy and how they would get to be involved along the way and after the baby was born. However, a few days later, we started miscarrying."
The couple also revealed the name of their unborn baby, River Bliss Dillard, and said that they would always remember their child.
They explained that River symbolizes "tranquility," since rivers are often a serene and beautiful escape in nature.
Later, Jill shared on Instagram that the family needed some time to 'regroup.'
She said that they have been taking more family time and getting back into some normal routines.
