TLC 19 Kids And Counting, Michelle Duggar suffered a devastating miscarriage last December, and on Tuesday’s finale of 19 Kids & Counting, Duggar bravely takes viewers inside her final ultrasound session to document the moment when she learned her 20th child was without a heartbeat.

“We were so excited to see the baby again on the ultrasound screen and find out if it was a girl or a boy,” Duggar recalls in an exclusive preview clip from Tuesday’s episode of the TLC hit. “As we began to look, I could tell by the look on [the ultrasound technician’s] face that something wasn’t right.”

Indeed, Duggar’s instincts were correct: The technician later revealed that she could not detect a heartbeat from their unborn baby, whom the family posthumously named Jubilee Shalom Duggar.

“Both of our hearts just sank,” Michelle’s husband, Jim Bob, says in the clip. “There was no heartbeat and we were both just devastated. Your whole world turns upside down.”

19 Kids And Counting, Rick Santorum has at least six votes from among TV’s 21 Duggars.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar recently appeared on ‘Fox and Friends’ and said their family was backing the “family values candidate” — Santorum.

“For weeks in September, we prayed about who to support,” said Jim Bob Duggar “and we’ve been following Rick Santorum’s political record for the last several years, and really felt like he was the one that has the proven track record to stand for what’s right…He was in the House and the Senate for 16 years; he knows how to run a country.”

“He lives within a budget,” added Michelle Duggar, which transitioned into a discussion of their strictly-budgeted lifestyle and their manta, “buy used, save the difference.”

The couple and their 19 children have been stars of TLC’s hit series 19 Kids and Counting since 2008, and the ninth season began Tuesday. Six of them are voting age, but Jim Bob chimed in and added, “If they were all old enough to vote, we probably would throw the election.”

Jim Bob (46) and Michelle (45) are parents to Joshua, Jana, John-David, Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johanna, Jennifer, Jordyn and Josie. Notice a pattern? This brings the total to nearly 15 years of pregnancy for Michelle, including the recent miscarriage of Jubilee, which occurred halfway through the pregnancy.
