Michelle Duggar, the American woman who is pregnant with her 19th baby and star of reality show 18 Kids And Counting, has been rushed to an Arkansas hospital.

However, People reports it was gallbladder problems, not pregnancy issues, that caused the trip to hospital.

"The pain from a gallstone was generating some contractions," says a representative.

"Just to be safe, she was airlifted to a Little Rock, Arkansas, hospital, so that in the unlikely event that she had to be delivered early, she would be close to a NICU centre.

"Michelle is resting comfortably, and the baby is doing fine."
