The 24-year-old reality star gave birth to her and husband Ben Seewald’s son, Henry Wilberforce Seewald in February, but the behind-the-scenes footage of Jessa preparing for childbirth is as dramatic as audiences imagined.
Breathing heavily as her husband sits by and comforts her, Jessa is bracing for motherhood one contraction at a time.
In a clip from the show, Ben says, “It was 11 o’clock and I was just kind of relaxing. Then Jessa says, ‘Hey babe, my water broke.’”

“I walked in the door, Jessa was sounding like she’s gonna have a baby pretty soon,” says Jill, 26. “I was like, ‘Woah, I hope my mom and Jana make it.’”
