Joy-Anna Duggar revealed on Wednesday, July 3, that she suffered a miscarriage five months into her pregnancy with her second child. The Counting On star shared the devastating news on Instagram along with a heartbreaking photo of her with husband Austin.
"Today marks one week since we heard these words…," Joy-Anna, 21, wrote on Instagram. “So this is your baby’s heart (pointing to the ultrasound screen). I don’t hear a heartbeat or see any movement.”

"We had gone in for our 20-week ultrasound and gender reveal," she continued before adding "It was a baby girl."
"Although we don’t understand why, God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time," Joy-Anna wrote. "Yes, it still hurts and we have cried countless tears, but we know that we can trust the Lord."

Joy-Anna then explained why she and Austin, 25, named their daughter Annabell Elise. "Annabell means 'God has favored me', and Elise means 'God satisfies.' What a precious thing to know that when our daughter opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Jesus."
