Jill Duggar remembers her stillborn sibling. According to Breathe Cast, the "19 Kids And Counting" star posted an emotional message showing how she felt toward her deceased sibling now that she's carrying her own child.

"3 years ago today Jubilee Shalom Duggar was born safe into the arms of Jesus! You are missed" Jill wrote on Instagram last December 11.

"'The Lord gives and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.' (Job1:21) #jubileeshalom @duggarfam #19kids #Job1:21."

In a previous report from New York Post's Page Six, Jill revealed that the issue of miscarriage is the reason why she and her husband decided to share the news as early as eight weeks.

"Understanding that the majority of miscarriages happen within the first trimester, and believing that every life is precious no matter how young, we decided to share our joyful news as soon as we could," Jill, 23, told Page Six.

Jill also shared why they kept their engagement short.

"We prayed a lot, prepared and really didn't see any reason to have a long courtship and engagement," Jill revealed to Page Six. "Once we knew we wanted to get married, we didn't want to put off the wedding for a long time and provide a stumbling block for ourselves. We purposed to save ourselves physically for each other within marriage (even our first kiss for our wedding day!), so we had a short engagement period. We knew that we weren't going to prevent having children, so when we found out we were expecting within our first month of marriage, we were thrilled!"

Reportedly, Jill plans to deliver the baby at their home with the help of a midwife.

"I feel like it will be way more relaxing... and having the baby at home with a midwife provides more of that personal care. It's more intimate for the couple as well, getting to be in your own environment," she said.
