The Duggars like to keep their friends and family close, but not too close. There is a new report that says Jill Duggar was supposedly banned from midwifing her brother Josh Duggar's sister-in-law because was pregnant out of wedlock.

Are Jill Duggar And Derick Dillard Getting Their Own Spinoff Show As A Newlywed Couple?

Josh is married to Anna Keller, who has a sister named Susanna. When Susanna got married a few years ago, Jill wanted to help deliver her baby, but unfortunately her parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar turned down the idea.

According to the Daily Mail on Tuesday, Susanna was criticized by the Duggar family for having a child out of wedlock and was even ostracized by the clan as well.

A source said: "Jill was very excited to assist Susanna through the birth. Michelle and Jim Bob, however, wouldn't let her participate. They thought Jill shouldn't be exposed to an unmarried mother in that condition."

Neither Jill nor her parents have made any comments about the story, although the family is known for their strong traditional Christian values. Jill herself is pregnant and is expecting her first child with husband Derick Dillard in March.

Meanwhile, it looks like Duggar's sister Jessa Duggar might be announcing a pregnancy real soon, too.

According to OK! Magazine earlier this month, Jessa revealed that she is not pregnant just yet, despite gossip and tabloid rumors, although she is "praying" for children everyday.

Jessa, who married her husband Ben Seewald back in November after dating him for one year, said, "We do want a lot of kids. We want to have some of our own but we also really want to adopt."
