Jill Duggar posed with a newborn baby on Instagram yesterday, and given that she's more than 37 weeks pregnant, 19 Kids and Counting fans understandably freaked.
The catch: It wasn't her baby. She delivered it, alright ... but only for work.
Jill is a midwife, as fans who watch 19 Kids and Counting online know.
The smiling wife of Derick Dillard, who will soon become a mom but hasn't popped yet, helped deliver this little one just weeks before her own due date.
"Gary Martin Takehiro Y. born today at 9:49am 7lbs. 8oz. 20 inches long. #AMommysButterflyMidwifery #babycatcher #studentmidwife,” she captioned the shot.
“So blessed to help deliver this little guy at home this morning, just 2 weeks away from my own due date! I previously delivered two of his older sisters."
Safe to say she's a natural, and holding up very well in the late stages of pregnancy. Not holding up quite as well? Some 19 Kids and Counting fans.
Jill's post sparked shock, excitement and hyperventilation from quite a few of her one million fans, who thought that she had given birth herself.
“FREAKED OUT FOR A MINUTE THERE,” one Jill follower commented.
Another wrote, also in all caps, “I THOUGHT THIS WAS YOUR BABY.”
DIDN'T WE ALL FOR A SPLIT SECOND, Instagram fans of @jillmdillard.
No word if Jana Duggar - who's said to be quitting 19 Kids and Counting and striking out on her own - will be on hand for Jill's birth. But it seems likely.
That's sort of what she does, after all. Take care of her younger siblings.
For now, newlywed Jill, 23, is just basking in the glow that comes with carrying a child and enjoy her final weeks as part of a two-person family.
Along with husband Derick, Duggar celebrated a baby shower at Olive Garden last Sunday, March 8, having previously been feted at Walmart.
Check out how her baby bump has grown over the past few months ...
