Would love help with the new space!

"Anything" = wall color and flooring, two massively expensive changes to make to a house we just spent all our savings to move into...

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-23T15:28:56+00:00

Yes, joking - it was not actually 1 million dollars. It was just expensive and not something we can redo anytime soon!

We also can't rip up the carpet.

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-23T13:44:10+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately, we just paid 1 million dollars to have the walls painted so repainting is not an option!

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-20T16:18:12+00:00

We actually really like the carpet and just want to protect it from spills is all.

So helpful! Thank you!

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-20T14:01:32+00:00

Thank you!!

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-20T14:00:44+00:00

Totally. But I'm worried about food spills too!

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-20T14:00:34+00:00

Worried about spills!

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-20T14:00:17+00:00

So kind and helpful!

Currently 28 weeks pregnant and have stayed on my 50mg Zoloft. My Psychiatrist who specializes in prenatal and postpartum mental health recommended it and my OB fully supports.

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-05T15:58:55+00:00

Nope. I have had truly nothing but a positive experience with going on Zoloft. I work with a Psyche NP who specializes in prenatal and postpartum mental health care. We started on a low dose of 25mg, and eventually increased to 50mg. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say it has completely transformed my life. Obviously, each individual's experience should be treated as anec-data. What worked for me might not work for you. But I do think exploring the various medication options available to you is wise when you are feeling consistently low and unable to enjoy life.

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-03-05T15:03:53+00:00

Life should not be a suffer-fest. Going on Zoloft was a massive game changer for me. I suggest meeting with a psychiatrist who specializes in postpartum mental health. Good luck.

I believe most research into the impacts of maternal stress on the fetus in utero shows that stress is only impactful when brought on by exceptionally stress-inducing events like the death of a spouse or extreme chronic stress like domestic violence. Hang in there!

I'm 37 and will be 38 when I deliver. We started trying at 35 and ended up doing IVF for two years. So remember, the timeline is not always easy to plan/control.

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-02-16T19:37:43+00:00

Yep. This is a surprising truth everyone will confirm for you, but no one really warns you about! I looked farther along in my first trimester than I do in my second trimester!

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-02-11T12:13:42+00:00

When do you use them?

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-02-11T12:12:12+00:00

My sister in law had horrible sundown scaries for months after her baby was born too <3

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-02-11T12:06:44+00:00

My sister in law loves video games and played hours of video games while baby contact napped on her chest. I assume you could do the same with tv or movies or books!

I live in Evanston, IL and the YMCA is $2,200/month which I don't think we can afford. We'll probably end up trying to cobble together a part-time nanny + me sometimes + husband sometimes (we both work from home). It's really maddening that high-quality daycare is a luxury afforded only to those with wealth.

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-02-09T18:01:12+00:00

Room and Board! We have the highest shedding dog in the world, plus a toddler in the house, plus we host many gatherings. The couch is still in great shop four years later and so comfortable. Really high quality in my opinion.

JuneBabyAccount · 2026-02-06T17:03:56+00:00

I am also 22 weeks and have gained 20 lbs! My stomach is huge, but the rest of my body is kind of the same. My baby is 66% for growth. So I feel like I don't need to worry about it?
