It has been previously reported by PEOPLE that Jill's knowledge as a student midwife keeps her calm and qualifies her to set two due dates for herself. March 24 and April 5 are the dates Jill gave the publication.

"I have told myself, 'First-time moms often go a week and a half over, so don't get discouraged,' " Jill said, admitting that she had her mind set to this from the beginning. "When everyone else is asking you, 'When are you going to have that baby?' The baby will come when the baby comes."

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard have worked together prior to the birth of Baby Dilly's. The publication noted Jill's gratefulness to her husband as he make her feel comfortable in this current season.
