‘Counting On’ Star Joy-Anna Duggar Knew Baby’s Gender Too Early, Proving Shotgun Wedding Rumors Claim Experts

Joy-Anna Duggar knew her baby’s gender just three months after getting married, and this is the smoking gun many are looking for that proves she did have a shotgun wedding. As soon as the Counting On star moved her wedding to Austin Forsyth from October to May, the rumors of a pregnancy out of wedlock started flying. Now, with new evidence backing up those claims, many are sure now more than ever that this baby is the result of a broken Duggar rule.

In a screenshot obtained by Radar Online , Duggar wrote in her pregnancy announcement, “The baby has his own unique fingerprints, which are different from anyone else’s.”

Fans caught on quickly to the use of “his” instead of “its,” and she quickly made the change once followers started asking her if it was a boy. The announcement came just three months after she walked down the aisle, but according to multiple baby websites, moms don’t find out the sex of their baby until between 16 and 20 weeks.

When Joy-Anna Duggar posted her original announcement with the baby bump pic, Dr. Stuart Fischer — who has not treated Duggar-Forsyth — said that she looked to be at least four to five months pregnant. Then, after the second baby bump pic, Dr. Sean Henry said she looked to be about 24-26 weeks along, even though she claimed to be just 18 weeks into her pregnancy.

Between the moved wedding date, the questionable pics, and the fact she knew she was having a boy back in August, things are starting to look awfully suspicious.

Another thing that is bringing up questions is the fact that the 20-year-old has pretty much disappeared from social media . Unlike her sisters Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard, who posted regular updates during both of their pregnancies, Duggar-Forsyth has posted just two pictures of her belly since her announcement.

Last week, the Counting On star begged fans for forgiveness and said that her absence is because she has been busy getting ready for her baby. The reality star and her husband are also building a house, and In Touch Weekly is reporting that the mom-to-be is considering taking some college classes . It may be a valid excuse. But, wouldn’t most people her age be covering their social media accounts with pictures and commentary about these major life events?
