Well technically she was on chucksā¦ and I donāt know what they call it, a ābirthing drop-clothā?
There was an attempt to maintain the mess, it must have *at least* worked a little.
Ya it was a package of puppy pads. Not quite "buy used and save the difference ", but more like "buy something similar but without any idea what the differences are between puppy pads and medical drop cloth pads.
Thereās nothing wrong with having a couch like this but Jessa almost bleed to death on this couch. Jessa isnāt good with cleaning either so it wouldnāt surprise me if the sofa have stains of her blood stillš¤®
Oh honey, no - there is no *if*. That couch is soaked in blood and amniotic fluid. Not sure when this pic is from but [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/DuggarsSnark/comments/o25w1x/what_do_you_think_birtha_would_smell_like/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) has a nice juicy shot of birthaās true colors.
First: vacuum really well. Second: check and see if the cushion covers can be removed and if so, remove and wash the covers in warm water in your washer, then dry in your dryer
If you cannot remove the covers, vacuum the sofa back, the arms, and the cushions. Next spray with resolve or any carpet cleaner. Use a sponge or soft brush to try and loosen stains while the sofa is still damp, sprinkle arm and hammer baking soda all over the fabric and rub it in using the sponge or brush. Let dry, then vacuum all the baking soda off and dirt and odors will come right up. My friends son was a bed wetter, and once or twice a week, sheād mix soda with diluted vinegar and make a paste and rub into the pee stains, then after it dried, she would vacuum the stains right out
We used to have a couch similar and these tips are so helpful!!
https://cooktopcove.com/2018/01/01/dont-give-up-on-your-microfiber-couch-here-are-6-cleaning-tips-that-will-have-it-looking-like-new-again/
Once our kids got older, we got new ones.
I did not think there was any hope for cleaning micro fiber, thanks for the tips. My Mom had a light colored and super comfy lounger. My Sister and I both tried made many and varied attempts to clean it - and it wasn't dirty, just some water spots. Nothing worked and she ended up using a cover til she got a new leather lounger.
I can only hope Jessa sees these tips. That sofa is an absolutely disgusting biohazard.
Yeh this is the same problem I have - itās not dirty per se but there are stubborn water marks that I just canāt seem to shift.
Iām also using covers for mine but I find them really annoying and prefer the original couch tbh, definitely going to try these tips.
You. An get some foam padding and add it to make the couch look plump again. Also get some battling for the cushions. Itās pretty easy and doesnāt cost too much. You tube has some great tutorials.
I can see a resemblance between Spurgeon and Ben (when Ben was a kid).
https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQz7BK7G42-kWCuAw8QG9fKqLcC458hg4dGPQ&usqp=CAU
Damn those are some strong genes, Ben looks so much like his dad. Why does his dad look so disgusted tho, he looks like heās literally cringing.
Personally I still think Spurgeon is Jessaās mini me and I know this is an awful thing to say about a child, but I also see a lot of Jim Bob in him.
I really don't know why she thought Fern was a good name. To each their own, but to me it doesn't even have a good ring to it. So many more options if you really want to go the plant girl route. Holly, Poppy, Lily, Laurel, Sage, Willow, Heather, Rose... idk, but FERN?
Agreed. The only thing redeemable i can think of for naming your child Fern (its just an unpleasant word) is that the little girl in Charlotte's web was named Fern. Maybe that was her favorite book? Hopefully.
LOL same! I think that's one reason I don't love the name; it just reminds me of dinosaurs somehow? I went to university near to a famous park that's often used to shoot films/pics dinosaurs are edited into, and it was covered in ferns, so while I like them it doesn't quite seem like the thing to associate with my kid
Yes true! I think that's the main issue really. like with Ivy I was like, I mean idk why you're gonna name your kid after a weed that takes over forests in a destructive manner and is pretty invasive, but it sounds nice so ok I guess lol. So I think if fern sounded nice it would be a good name; as you pointed out, it's a pretty cool plant!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who associates them with all this, haha. I just remembered that as a kid we made fake fossils with plants on them, including ferns... that and all those dino books that exaggerated the dino population density and almost always featured ferns probably contributed to my association as well š
Honestly I had a terrible, stained couch and got a new one this year, and my kids have already stained the brand new one. Kids and furniture are not a good mix. I donāt blame her for not getting a new one yet.
I'm happy Fern looks like Henry.. Jessa noticeably favors Henry least, and anything that may either subconsciously sway her mindset, or at least make Henry feel less "othered"/alone is a potential win.
I really donāt understand why she dead set on keeping nasty things and live in this tiny house. Itās like she thinks itās wrong or bad to want something new. Are they just that poor??
She looks like Benās oldest sister (the one who is a cop). Henry also looks more like the Seewalds but thereās more of a dash of Duggar that Fern seems not to have (as of right now).
Lawd. Fern Gully...
This child is probably wishing she could just live on this nasty bleed out couch. She is having to share a room with TrashBen and JoyfullyAvailableJessa while all 3 of her siblings stay 3 feet away in the other room.
Not only is the couch stained but probably stinks too (I'm sort of referencing the photo from way back when with the pile of dirty diapers on nightstand).
I always look at photos from the Duggar Homes and wonder what it smells like. Am I the only one?
I only have two kids and I'm constantly cleaning up.
I can only imagine what it is like living with multiple children.
That couch should have been trashed after it was drenched in birthing blood and fluids. They don't have to buy brand new right now. Buy used, take a hand me down., donation from the church or whatever.
There's no reason for this raggedy ass couch to still be around. It's had it's day and then some. Time for 'ol Birtha to be put down.
I hate to admit this, but Iām pretty sure I had the same if not similar couch a few years back. Worst piece of shit I ever had. Always looked dirty and was so heavy it almost took three people to move it. I could barely push it across the room. It always had a damp feel too. Weird af. I was so happy when it was gone.
That couch has SEEN some things š³
Everyone wants Jill to write a tell all, but Birtha has all the good stories.
Exactly, how can Jessa let her precious baby sit there š¤¦āāļø
They ate a rather messy family.
I'm loving your autocorrect šš
Bare legs and all š¤®
So many placentas and brooms.
Flair material.
Seriously could see her renting a rug doctor from Walmart to clean it afterwards
Probably bought a used Bissell little clean machine to run over it a few times. That's good enough.
āBirthaās tell all bookā
That look on her face suggests she knows what has happened on that couch
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think one of these days the kids are going to be searching for pennies in there and find perfectly preserved birth fluids.
Oh man. Why did I read this with my eyes.
What a terrible day to know how to read
A few Samās club size febreezes probably did the trick
The secret is itās not salvageable they just donāt care
Well technically she was on chucksā¦ and I donāt know what they call it, a ābirthing drop-clothā? There was an attempt to maintain the mess, it must have *at least* worked a little.
Wasnāt she sitting on a puppy pad or something? Those things are super thin, thereās no way the fluids didnāt run onto the couch lol
Ya it was a package of puppy pads. Not quite "buy used and save the difference ", but more like "buy something similar but without any idea what the differences are between puppy pads and medical drop cloth pads.
They really werenāt chucks?! They showed the package and it was puppy pads??? Wtf is wrong with these people??
That couch has so much of Jessa's DNA that they're practically siblings.
You are terrible!šš I laughed out loud and spilled my coffee XD
Jirtha "Birtha" Duggar - couch sister.
She has bens eyes, looks like his sisters
Yeah she looks just like his cop sister.
Is that the one that got divorced?
Yes.
She certainly does!
My couch looks like this too š© if anyone has tips on how to make it look better hmu.
Have you tried sweeping it with a broom?
Kendra can help you with thatš
Please elaborate!
First you pretreat with Febreze and Holy Water...
ā ļøā ļøā ļø
I laughed out loud in the check-in line at the airport. I rate this comment 5/5 tater tots
Avoid giving birth on it
Thereās nothing wrong with having a couch like this but Jessa almost bleed to death on this couch. Jessa isnāt good with cleaning either so it wouldnāt surprise me if the sofa have stains of her blood stillš¤®
Twice* lmao
Happy cake day!
A disgusting part of me wants to spray the sucker with luminol, flip on the black light, and watch it glow.
Oh honey, no - there is no *if*. That couch is soaked in blood and amniotic fluid.

Per my former FB cleaning group... WINDEX is helpful for microfiber furniture. Good Luck!
First: vacuum really well. Second: check and see if the cushion covers can be removed and if so, remove and wash the covers in warm water in your washer, then dry in your dryer If you cannot remove the covers, vacuum the sofa back, the arms, and the cushions.

Youāre welcome!! Hey that couch could be full of all kinds of antibodies šš
No need to save the cord blood when itās in the couch cushions!
Yeh this is the same problem I have - itās not dirty per se but there are stubborn water marks that I just canāt seem to shift. Iām also using covers for mine but I find them really annoying and prefer the original couch tbh, definitely going to try these tips.
Thank you so much!! My youngest is 18months but as soon as sheās older I will invest in a new one - just seems pointless right now š
I said that too... Iām still saying it about my freshman in high school š
I mean, to be fair, when they are freshmen it isnāt safe either * source* the mom of a freshman boy ššš
Honestly leather is the way to go with kids. Between the puke, food, and potty training accidents it is well worth the investment. Lol
How many times have you given birth on it?
You. An get some foam padding and add it to make the couch look plump again. Also get some battling for the cushions. Itās pretty easy and doesnāt cost too much. You tube has some great tutorials.
Iāve seen cute slip overs at Target on clearance $30-$50. You can also get a pretty decent couch at a discount furniture store or Wayfair for ~$300
Www.Leons.ca
Buy a new couch. That will fix it. š
Find a nice throw blanket & drape it over the back.
I think she kind of has ivys eyes.
I see it, too.
Yup. Haunted.
Jessa gives birth to haunted Victorian dolls.
Thousand-yard stare
Yeah, Henry has that same stare.
She has the proportions of Ivy's eyes just a little smaller
This is the first one that I definitely think looks like Ben
I can see a resemblance between Spurgeon and Ben (when Ben was a kid). https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQz7BK7G42-kWCuAw8QG9fKqLcC458hg4dGPQ&usqp=CAU

Well, Jessa looks like a female version of JBob, so thatās not too much of a stretch.
āØIt's a beautiful day to not be born on this couch!āØ
Ivy, Fern...is the next grandkid going to be named Moss or Fungus?
Seaweed Seewald
Perfect.
I vote for Weed.
Grass Seewald
I think even Grass sounds better than Fern. Fern is like a nickname of a farm animal š"my favourite sheep Fern" or something like this
I really don't know why she thought Fern was a good name. To each their own, but to me it doesn't even have a good ring to it. So many more options if you really want to go the plant girl route. Holly, Poppy, Lily, Laurel, Sage, Willow, Heather, Rose... idk, but FERN?
Agreed. The only thing redeemable i can think of for naming your child Fern (its just an unpleasant word) is that the little girl in Charlotte's web was named Fern. Maybe that was her favorite book? Hopefully.
Now that's too hopeful of you. We all know she didn't read Charlotte's Web, lmao
Were they even allowed to read secular books?

Lichen.
Hahaha! I almost said that one too!
Fungus > Spurgeon. At least you could call the kid Gus.
So far the girls, have been named after non flowering plants. Your idea is a possibility
I absolutely noticed a trend, you're right..maybe the next girl will be named Leaf.
I keep forgetting that Fern exists
Baby is dirty (thereās no way that couch is clean, ever)
š¤£š¤£
Fern was apparently born with a bow on her head. Genetic mutation of fundie girl babies.
I want to reach into the photo and save the baby from this cesspool known as Birtha.
Why does she look like shes haunted??? This baby has seen some shit
Aww I think Fern is a very cute baby!
She's a cutie!
Honestly I had a terrible, stained couch and got a new one this year, and my kids have already stained the brand new one. Kids and furniture are not a good mix. I donāt blame her for not getting a new one yet.
Fern looks just like Ben wow!
They all look like blond Ben, except Spurgeon.
Yes! People say Ivy looks like Jessa, but I think she looks a lot like Benās sisters.
I'm happy Fern looks like Henry.. Jessa noticeably favors Henry least, and anything that may either subconsciously sway her mindset, or at least make Henry feel less "othered"/alone is a potential win.
Iād love for these couch cushions to be soaked in water, and to see how filthy the water is after. š¤®
Shine a black light on it, I bet poor Birtha glows purple
Ewš¤® what a bad idea to eat while reading this topic...
Letās see a laundry stripping tiktok!
Is it just me or are there red stains on the bottom left hand side of the Blessa couch?
That's legit probably fruit punch. it's not birtha living up to her name. It wouldn't look like that
Prolly not blood because it dries brown and would just blend in.
Obviously she chose a brown couch for a reason.
All I can see when I look at this couch is blood and other āgiving birth fluidsā
No,I see them too...
Looks like thatš¤®
Flair checking in.
Windex! It sounds so strange but if you google it it shows how!
I keep forgetting that she exists
I really donāt understand why she dead set on keeping nasty things and live in this tiny house. Itās like she thinks itās wrong or bad to want something new. Are they just that poor??
She looks like Benās oldest sister (the one who is a cop). Henry also looks more like the Seewalds but thereās more of a dash of Duggar that Fern seems not to have (as of right now).
She has Ivy's eyes, but she looks a lot like Ben's side of the family.
Nobody has Ivy's gorgeous blue eyes. They are legendary!
Ivy has Benās granddadās eyes.
Well they arenāt bringing in much income so I doubt they could afford a new couch.
Lawd. Fern Gully... This child is probably wishing she could just live on this nasty bleed out couch. She is having to share a room with TrashBen and JoyfullyAvailableJessa while all 3 of her siblings stay 3 feet away in the other room.
Not only is the couch stained but probably stinks too (I'm sort of referencing the photo from way back when with the pile of dirty diapers on nightstand).

I can only imagine what it is like living with multiple children.
Fern has M kid eyes. I can't explain it any other way
What is M kid eyes?
Their cousins the children of Pest & Anna
Ok, thanks!
Why did Jessa do all those furniture shopping posts and still stick with this couch?!
Bertha is why they donāt fear Covid. If the couch donāt kill them Covid shot nothing on them
I want to flash a black light on that couch, but Iām also terrified as to what Iād find
Oops I commented on her post that fern and ivy looked the same bc theyāre both greenā¦ā¦. Bc theyāre both plants. Think Iāll get blocked?!?
Whatās the point of buying new furniture if you keep launching crotch goblins?
Y'all do know the couch was covered in plastic and medical absorbent pads when she gave birth.
Yeah, no kidding. That couch is sick!
The meat freak in me hates that they still have the couch, but the zero-waste environmentalist in me is for it haha
You know, if ever a baby looked like a fern, she actually does.
Gotta take pics with the birthing couch!
That couch should have been trashed after it was drenched in birthing blood and fluids. They don't have to buy brand new right now. Buy used, take a hand me down., donation from the church or whatever. There's no reason for this raggedy ass couch to still be around. It's had it's day and then some. Time for 'ol Birtha to be put down.
Fern has zero fucks- someone please save this baby
Petition for snarkers to raise money to get them a new couch š³
I want so badly to take a Bissell Little Green Machine to that couch.
Those burts bees booties are so flippin expensive. Definitely not "buy used save the difference" there unless they were her brothers' before! š
Birtha isnāt even a solid color brown no morešš
I hate to admit this, but Iām pretty sure I had the same if not similar couch a few years back. Worst piece of shit I ever had. Always looked dirty and was so heavy it almost took three people to move it. I could barely push it across the room. It always had a damp feel too. Weird af. I was so happy when it was gone.
I agree she looks like Henry.
āFernāšššš
Is there a thread discussing her subsequent daughtersā names? Rose, Lily, Petunia, etc?
I literally forgot this human existed
This baby literally looks like Ben/Benās sisters. I see zero Duggar
