FLUFF: Could television’s biggest family be about to get bigger?

Does television’s biggest family have room for one more?

Michelle Duggar, the matriarch of the family at the centre of 19 Kids and Counting, has visited a fertility doctor to see if she can “catch” another baby.

Riiiiiiiight.

Reality television’s biggest family is open to welcoming a new addition.

Duggar matriarch and patriarch, Michelle and Jim Bob, have visited a fertility clinic to suss out their chances of conceiving child number 20.

And yes, that does mean that 17/18/19 Kids and Counting might be forced to go through another series name change.

The enormous family visited a clinic to find out whether 47-year-old Michelle would be able to go through with another pregnancy, after having a miscarriage at 19 weeks back in 2011.

“We are just going to check and see that I’m physically in good condition,” Michelle says in the preview of the latest episode.

“We would love more children if God saw fit to give us more — I just want to make sure that I’m ready to catch a baby if that would happen.”

“Catch a baby”? C’mon, Michelle. You’ve done this enough times to know that babies are neither a disease nor something the stork throws at you yelling, “Go long!”

In all seriousness, the episode does appear to send quite a strong message about the rarity of successful pregnancy for women over 45. The fertility doctor tells the couple:

“We do occasionally see pregnancies in women who are 47, 48, 49, even 50. But they’re very unusual. Very unusual.”
