If you’re a fan of her famous family, then you’ve no doubt heard by now that Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant with her first child. And you’re probably also aware that there’s a great deal of controversy surrounding Joy-Anna’s date of conception . The Duggars claim that Joy-Anna got pregnant on one of the first days of her honeymoon after marrying Austin Forsyth back in May. That would put her at about seven months along, with a due date in February. However, some fans believe Joy is much further along than she claims, and may be due before the end of the year. If Joy did get pregnant out of wedlock, it’s not hard to see why the Duggars would do their best to keep it under wraps. The family’s famous ” courtship rules ” make up a big part of the godly, wholesome image that’s so appealing to their most devoted fans. A premarital pregnancy wouldn’t be as devastating to that image as the Josh Duggar sex scandals , but it certainly wouldn’t do the Duggars any favors. As such, you can bet that the Joy-Anna’s parents would do everything in their power to hide it from the press if it turned out she and Austin engaged in premarital sex. Many fans believe the effort to keep the truth under wraps consumes most of the Duggars time these days, hence why filming for the next season of Counting On has been delayed. They also point to other signs that they say serve as obvious indications of a conspiracy. The latest, they claim, is the secrecy around the gender of Joy-Anna’s baby. Typically, pregnant Duggar women eagerly reveal on social media whether they’re having a boy or a girl, usually along with an ultrasound photo. According to In Touch Weekly , Joy-Anna has decided not to share the news publicly. Naturally, many are convinced that the decision is yet another sign the Duggars are eager to keep fans at arm’s length with regard to Joy’s pregnancy. Obviously, a sonogram would be the clearest evidence to date of Joy-Anna’s due date, and conspiracy theorists would be quick to pounce if the fetus were any bigger than most. Like most of the signs that Joy-Anna got pregnant earlier than she claims, it’s hardly concrete evidence, but it’s more than enough for fans who want to believe she got knocked up before Doctors who have examined photos of her have confirmed that Joy-Anna appears to be further along than she claims. It should be noted, however, that none of the physicians who have made this claim has actually examined Joy. The question of when exactly Joy got pregnant may never be resolved to the satisfaction of some Duggar obsessives, which means the matter will likely be debated for years to come. We’re sure the Duggars are thrilled. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most famous family. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar Pregnancy Raises One Huge Question
