“Well Jess, do you want to listen to your little baby’s heartbeat?”Jill asks before helping her sister onto the couch to listen to her baby.
Once Jessa hears her baby’s strong heartbeat, she instantly smiles, telling the camera in a confessional interview that her second pregnancy finally feels “real.”
“This pregnancy has been different than my first pregnancy in many ways,” she shared. “I’ve had way more food aversions and certain things like coffee, chicken, popcorn, random other things — we couldn’t even have them in the house. I didn’t have that with Spurgeon.”
In the video, Jessa was 18 weeks pregnant, but she and Ben are expecting their new arrival in February.
Counting On airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.
