No Baby Yet

Jill Dillard is 10 days past her due date, and Baby Dilly still hasn't arrived. She and Derick Dillard enjoyed a Good Friday lunch date at a Mexican restaurant, hoping the spicy food will jump start Jill's labor.

  2. Do you think her date is off a little? I am getting concerned that Baby Dilly is not 10 days past due. I hope God will bring that little one out soon! All the best!

  6. Walk. Walk and walk some more. That will get labor moving along really fast. We will pray for a smooth easy delivery! Have a blessed Easter!!

  7. Please tell Jill that she would most likely start in labor if she would drink 4 oz. of castor oil! My doctor recommended it and it worked for me over 50 years ago and it would probably work for her! Blessings...

  8. Don't get me going....I think Jill should be in the community's health centre and avail herself and her baby input from doctors. I think she should deliver in a birthing room there. The baby could be induced and be fine because it is viable, what is this bake thing? Maybe the baby is so big that her body can't get a good labor up and running. I would not be so relaxed if I were her.

  9. Time to take a page out of Mrs. Bates book and go for a brisk walk? Best of luck Jill and Derick.

  10. At this point, Jill's chances of a home birth may be shot. She's going to need to either have midwife break her water or go tohosp and ge induced. Any midwife won't let her go more than to 42 wks. There's probably meconium in the amiotic water. I went to 41 wks w/ my last. I'm sure she's tried castor oil, but don't spicy food will help much at this point.

  18. Most doctors wouldn't let someone go almost two weeks past due date..

  19. Funny how the entertainment news says that she in labor and you say she's not! Love when the media takes things wrong

  20. Have been thinking about Jill almost daily. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job with this blog, for giving us the latest updates! No need to worry; I'm sure it's well-known that first babies often get so comfortable that they are not ready to come out yet for the announced due-date. I know that was the case with mine. I don't imagine the Duggars believe in inducing labor. But this little one will make his appearance when he and God are ready for him to! Much love to Jill and Derick, and to Baby Dilly. Have a blessed Good Friday everyone, and Happy Easter! Wouldn't it be something if Baby Dilly's birthday fell on Resurrection Sunday! :)

  30. Jill is radiant! My daughter was due on Valentine's Day and was born on March 2nd - 16 days after her due date!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Praying she doesn't end up with a C-section due to her baby being so big. I was never allowed to go past 40 weeks with all my children. God bless you Jill, Derick and baby.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thanks so much for the update! We're all wondering!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks for the update! I appreciate you taking the time to tell us that nothing is going on. :) That is better than wondering if she's in labor or had him days ago and I missed it.

    ReplyDelete
  34. When in doubt eat!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Eggplant parmesian will bring on labor

    ReplyDelete
  36. Jill wrote somewhere that she had 2 possible due dates... if she's due April 5th (her second date) then she's still early

  40. Jill is so pretty!! Can't wait for Baby Dilly! =)

  41. I do sincerely hope that all goes well for Jill and her son; however, being that they are such strict Christians, I absolutely believe that eating out at a Mexican restaurant is NOT appropriate for Good Friday; a Christian day of atonement..also I don't think eating spicy foods is "leaving it up to God" like they say they with everything....

  46. I hope that Jill n Derrick will have a healthy baby. Jill will have a short labor.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Lili and Ellie how long will she wait before inducing labor? Or will she not induce and let God determine when it's ready?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Sweet <3... just finished watchin' Ben and Jessa's wedding. Y'all are such an amazing family. I cannot wait to see baby dilly. I am home schooled and one of seven kids so.. I love how they all work together loving Jesus. Love you guys you're awesome!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Well, hearing that Jill is trying to induce labor naturally is at least good news to me. I know that as a midwife I'm sure she has good knowledge that her baby doesn't need to stay in there much longer, but I didn't know if she was trying any methods at all. I'm guessing over the next couple days if nothing happens, she'd be willing to go to the hospital to get induced if necessary, so that makes me feel better. :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. I CAN'T WAIT until your son is born!!!!!!! I am sure he will be just as cute as the two of you. May you have a blessed life worshiping God each and every day. I also Hope everyone has a great Good Friday!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Do you know what the plans are for induction? I know most people are induced before being 14 days overdue. But is this the same...

    ReplyDelete
  52. Are they considering having labor induced?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Have the baby already

    ReplyDelete
  54. Praying for all of u! I can't wait to see the little guy!

    ReplyDelete
  55. My first baby was 10 days late. I hope Jill does not go too much longer because I think her baby boy is already a good size. She and Derick look so happy. Maybe she will have an Easter baby. Does a widwife let a pregnant woman stay pregnant for over 42 weeks? I am curious about if there is a certain point that is beyond what is good for baby and the momma.

    ReplyDelete
  56. good luck momma and daddy,baby dilly will his entrance when hes ready...you both will be wounderful parents,i love the show and watch it faitfuly every week...I just got a new nephew on april fools day as well...

    ReplyDelete
  57. My daughter got her labor going the last 4 times by bouncing on an exercise ball. Hope that helps. God Bless you and that baby. P.S. I'm available if you need anyone to rock him for an hour or two. Haha (Granny of 9)

  58. Jill & Derrick you are sooo lovable to each other it's so precious, I cried on the day he proposed to you, that song OMG it was perfect. Cherish each other everyday & good luck & happiness when baby Dilly comes!!!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Good Luck Jill! I feel so sorry for you!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Due Date Wrong? Time to induce!

    ReplyDelete
  61. I bet baby Dilly will come next week some time he must not be ready to meet everybody

    ReplyDelete
  62. When that Apple gets ripe it will fall

    ReplyDelete
  63. She could go 2 weeks past her due date after that the doctor will consider induced her.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Just by looking at their faces, they are going to have one cute baby boy!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I don't care what anybody says, I don't think having a baby is an exact science. I don't think 10 days past due is all that big of a deal. Especially with a first baby. Good for Jill for waiting, she knows that baby will come when it's good and ready. She's also smart enough to know to monitor the baby and pay heed to any warning signals. My second baby was due March 23rd and he didn't make his appearance until April 26th and he was just fine. Let nature take its course for petes sake. Or is that not the way we do it in this technological age? We say trust in the Lord but do live by that saying? I have a feeling she'll have a perfectly healthy baby in God's time.

  66. She looks so different in this photo.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Well, it worked. She's in labor now.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I thought after 7 days they were supposed to induce it? Maybe they'll induce her soon cause teen days extra in the womb is a long time for a baby

    ReplyDelete
  69. Is Jill allowed to be induced if necessary? She must be so very uncomfortable at this point...

    ReplyDelete
  70. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very exciting time Jill & Derick. I have had the honor to share in the time leading up to the birth of my 6 beautiful Grandbabes. Soon to be 7. It is a very miraculous time. God Bless !!!

    ReplyDelete
  71. We're hoping to see Baby Dilly soon!!! Thought of any names yet? God bless you!

  73. Go for a long walk everyday. That should help.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Unrelated but how are Josh and Jim Bob doing with their diet (Better food choices and portion control) and exercise? There were a few episodes focused on this issue.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I agree with the earlier comment about the full moon and the pressure of it
    She will hopefully start labor today/tonight and have an Easter baby!!!!

  80. I'm sure this will freak people out, but I was 3 1\2 weeks late with my baby and I still had her at home! She was 10 lbs 11oz. Every thing went good! And that was in 2010!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I am kinda surprised they went out for a meal on a fast day.

    ReplyDelete
  82. jill has dropped a lot. God bless all of you. I check the internet everyday when I'm having my morning coffee to see the latest news on your Lil one.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Good luck both of you We're sooo excited to see baby dilly!!! Hoping and praying for a safe delivery and a strong baby!!!

    ReplyDelete
  84. After the due date the placenta will start to break down so most doctors do not let the mother go much past. Hope everything works out well! God Bless!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. Jill, I love your attitude about your baby's due date. My first baby was born at 43 weeks (confirmed by doctor). I don't think they let you do that anymore. Hopefully, he'll be born on Easter Sunday like mine was! Happy delivery!

    ReplyDelete
  86. I am so excited about Jill's pregancy! I keeping going back to my computer room to check to see if their baby has been born! Checking every two hours. I just want everything to go well and for them to have a healthy baby!!
