"We couldn't believe it," Duggar told People.
Duggar said she took a pregnancy test on a Sunday morning before church and immediately wanted to show her husband the positive results.
"I said, 'Hey Ben, guess what? Yeah, you're a dad,'" she recalled. "We are so excited. We have started talking baby names. It is one of those things that is so special, picking a name for a baby."
Duggar apparently experienced some nausea towards the beginning of her pregnancy.
"The morning sickness was different every day. It's getting better, but I'm still hanging on to the heartburn. And I don't have any super serious food cravings," Duggar revealed.

"[We are] trying to take it one day at a time," Seewald explained. "We pray every night that God helps us be good parents. We are getting advice from other parents."
Although the pair is going to have a baby of their own, they're still open to the idea of adopting a child.
"Our hearts haven't changed on adoption... We're still making plans," Duggar told the magazine.
Duggar's older sister Jill, 23, and her husband Derick Dillard, 25, just welcomed their first kid, a baby boy they named Israel Davis, on April 6. They tied the knot in June 2014.
Duggar and Seewald announced their engagement in August 2014 and wed in November of that year in front of nearly 1,000 guests.
