Counting On’s Abbie Duggar Reflects on Nearly 2-Day Labor: My Body ‘Wasn’t Making Progress’
Abbie Duggar (née Burnett) became “really exhausted” during her daughter Grace’s January birth.“At 10 p.m., I got rechecked at the hospital, and they said that I was still only dilated to a five,” the Counting On star, 28, said in Us Weekly’s exclusive clip of the show’s Tuesday, September 1, episode. “I’ve been in labor for over a day and a half, and I’m still only dilated to five centimeters.”When she and John David Duggar spoke with their doctor, he recommended that the then-pregnant star receive petocin and an epidural.“My body obviously wasn’t making progress, and I was really exhausted by this point,” Abbie said in a confessional.
