SPRINGDALE, Ark., Oct. 9 (UPI) -- Jessa Duggar shared a new baby bump photo Thursday on Instagram.

The 22-year-old former reality star is now 34 weeks pregnant with her first child by husband Ben Seewald. The couple married in November 2014, and announced they are expecting in April.

"36 weeks 4 days," Duggar captioned the picture. Healthy babies are typically born between 39 and 40 weeks, and the mom-to-be expects her son or daughter to be born Nov. 1, her first wedding anniversary.

The former reality star will be the latest member of her extensive family to welcome a child. Sister Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, welcomed son Israel in April, while brother Josh Duggar and his wife, Anna Duggar, welcomed daughter Meredith in July.

"One of the most amazing parts of pregnancy has been feeling those tiny (and sometimes) powerful little kicks!" she told a fan website in September. "It seems amazing how we can find ourselves so in love with someone who we've yet to meet face-to-face."

Duggar and her family came to fame on TLC series 19 Kids & Counting, which was canceled in the wake of Josh Duggar's molestation scandal. The 22-year-old and Jill Duggar will return to television on forthcoming network specials later this year.
