It's like she's obsessed with being like the insta mums. I'm awaiting babies first North Pole breakfast despite being on formula (spoiler alert: she eats it all!) It's coming across like she's rushing to cram everything into his first few months of life. I know its exciting but some things can wait. Like the Christmas tree picking. They could of got someone to look after him, done their tradition of picking a tree and maybe next year if he's walking or even the year after when he can run around then take him. A toddler would have had so much fun in all that mud, to me that's a memory to treasure.
 
It’s not just the c-section, didn’t she have preeclampsia too? It can take months for blood pressure to settle after that. I feel like she’s had a scare and she’s trying to prove to herself and others that she’s fine, but she really does just need to slow down. I know we all have a bit of dig here about the annoying influencer things, but in all seriousness if I were her friend I’d be concerned about her.

It’s weird because normally she loves sitting about doing duck all and saying she’s ’listening to her body’ but now it’s like she can’t stay home? I am thinking she’s maybe feeling a bit down.

I did wonder if she was mentally struggling. She doesn’t have a massive circle of friends in close proximity I don’t think and I think there’s something going on with her mum (I think she’s the family member that’s been in hospital) and she clearly has seen nick’s family and has seen one or two pals but I can imagine she is finding the transition really hard and maybe she has felt a bit weird about having this baby due to her miscarriage etc.
 
I also get the impression she’s finding this journey tough. But that’s because it is tough! The hormones and recovery from birth are extreme, add in the tiredness, overwhelm for the constant needs of a newborn and the complete change you feel as a new parent, it’s a journey that nothing can prepare you for.
 
i remember feeling robbed of my early days of mat leave cause i wanted to be up and about going to mum and baby things, spending time with my partner on his paternity leave. Instead i had a c section and was house bound for six weeks basically, i felt like i should’ve been doing all the things she is doing but in reality i needed to be resting, i can’t believe she isn’t. She must be exhausted, physically and mentally.

I dont know how it is in the UK but when i had my kids i waited till they were 6 weeks old before taking them to public places as i wanted them to have there first immunisations which they receive at 6 weeks old.

It's not a rule or even an NHS guideline. It's just a personal choice thing. The NHS website even says that baby swim classes are fine from straight after birth and you don't have to wait until they've had their vaccinations.

I had my first during COVID so I didn't take him anywhere apart from outdoor walks for ages and then I did eventually take him to the shops I kept him in the carrier at first so people wouldn't touch him and he couldn't touch anything. I had one of those trolley seat covers for when I started sitting him in the trolley!
I think because of this I am very conscious and aware of how germy and disgusting people and places are. I'm still one of those mum's with the antibac wipes and hand gel when we go to soft play etc 🙈

It's the same in the UK. My work colleagues wanted me to take the baby into the office to see them but I refused until after the 6 weeks

I work in a hospital so I never took him in to meet everyone because of lockdown. But it kind of made me think about how and why it was normal practice pre COVID for my colleagues to bring their tiny babies into a hospital to be passed around between people wearing their uniform that they have spent the morning in contact with sick patients in.

The audacity of saying ‘highly recommend’ to others when during her pregnancy she told people not to recommend things to her.

Yeah, this is really pissing me off as she was so against advice from anyone and now she’s ✨mummy influencer✨ giving out her wise advice. Also, I really hate she’s tagging businesses, ohhh I really want a Tula because she’ll probably get sent one and end up with 3 carriers when some poor mums can’t afford to get one and are struggling for essentials 😞 9/10 stories at the moment are AD AFF PR
 
I’m glad this was a paid ad cause I’d be gutted to have paid someone to capture me looking like this. Why on Earth has she posted it hahaha
