Following her bombshell announcement that she's pregnant, "19 Kids and Counting" star Jessa Duggar recently hinted that she and husband Ben Seewald may in fact be expecting twins.

Duggar took to social media recently to announce that she and Ben, who married last year, are expecting their first child together, marking a due date of November first, the couple's wedding anniversary.

The couple sparked questions regarding the possibility of twins in a recent video message announcing their pregnancy, when Seewald told the camera: "Can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl."

"It could be both, who knows?" Seewald added.

Jessa adds in the video that she has a feeling that the child will be a boy, adding that her pregnancy is "going great" in its early stages.

 "Well, we're twelve weeks along so far and the pregnancy's going great, I'm feeling good, looking forward to the second trimester, I hear now the morning sickness and all that […] things are going great."

Jessa also joked to People magazine that she's "hoping it's triplets because I have been eating so much!"

"During the stages of morning sickness, keeping something in my stomach kept me from being sick," the 23-year-old explained to the media outlet. "If I kept something in my stomach, I would be way less nauseous."

Jessa has also reportedly been receiving pregnancy advice from sister Jill, who recently delivered her first child with husband Derick Dillard. Jessa recently told People magazine that she is grateful for her sister's recent pregnancy experience, as well as her extended training in midwifery.

"[Jill] has all the knowledge and training," Jessa told People this week.
