Joanne Larby #20 All 5 of her eggs in one basket, Tattle outed her pregnancy, no doubt she blew a gasket

I dislike her referring to being induced as a traumatic thing.
Many women HAVE to be induced and she’s just scaremongering because it wasn’t exactly what she wanted.
I was induced 3 times and it was fine every, single time. I had one traumatic labour but it wasn’t to do with the induction.
I wish she would shut the duck up about how the babies got here and be thankful she has two healthy children no matter how they arrived.
She is honestly the worst person to follow on social media if you had post post partum depression or were anxious about how to give birth.
 
I was induced, it was traumatic. Telling someone who has been through something very scary to just be thankful that their children are here, is not it.

I think she's for the birds, but I also think she can talk about her birth experience if she wants to.
All in about the same two months, her, rosemary maccabe and terrie mcevoy all had unexpected sections, and so did I, and I did find it helpful seeing other people experiencing the same thing I was experiencing.

It's one thing to make fun of the bleeping dog sensing that she was in labour and waking her up to let her know, and another to dismiss trauma around an event that can take a very long time to get over. It's not scaremongering, it's her own experience.

(I guess now I have to wait and see how long it takes for someone to comment HI JOANNE :ROFLMAO: )

Did you find it helpful seeing terror on white trousers a few days after it and out clubbing? I think they’re all toxic and dangerous tbh.
JoJo is also bat tit fooking crazy.

No because Terrie was anti-trauma, she portrayed being perfectly fine five minutes after, clubbing and disappearing on ski trips with her friends.
Huge difference, to me anyway.

I was induced 3 times like I said, they were not traumatic and that’s exactly my point. Labour can be traumatic but it’s not necessarily the inductions that make them so.

I also had one traumatic labour,
(not as a result of induction) also so I know what that’s like, personally though I am beyond grateful my child is here and happy and healthy and I am too and that’s my focus. I understand others may be different.

She’s acting like being induced and having a C-section is the worst thing that can ever happen and I fully believe she will be terrifying any women watching her stories who may be pregnant. Labouring yourself can be just as traumatic but both can also be wonderful experiences.

I’m glad her, Terrie McAvoy and Rosemary McCabe made you feel better about your experience.

The main goal is to bring a child “earthside” as safely as possible and I do believe she should be thankful for having two healthy children.
I think she has been scaremongering since the day and hour she had River because she is the biggest control freak I’ve ever come across and she needs serious therapy because she needs to curate every single part of her life (to the extent she’s exiled herself to the arse end of nowhere so no one can see what she actually looks like) things didn’t go her way and she needed someone to blame. I have no doubt the hospital staff acted accordingly in the situation and got River here safely.

But what is banging on and on about this traumatic birth going to do for anyone? Scare women even more about child birth? There's absolutely no need for it. Let it go and move on.

This woman has described her second birth as a healing experience. Would she ever stfu. Birth is a traumatic experience mentally and physically for the majority of women no matter how the child is brought into this world. It takes its toll regardless. She's a dangerous weapon.

I've had a forceps delivery, an emergency section and a planned section. All traumatic in their own way. I would never go into detail about the births incase I'd put the fear of god into another woman. Joanne can't just announce the birth of her child and move on like everyone else does. We don't need to hear the ins and outs about her births and to be honest no one really cares except for Joanne! She's not some bleeping martyr for God's sake. She seems to think she's the first woman to do one of the most natural things in the world.

Your point is that your personal birth experiences were not traumatic (bar one), that's great. I'm genuinely delighted for you.

Actually 100% agree with this, I had a pregnant friend ask about my birth and I just said it was tough but all worth it in the end! Absolutely would not give any details. Same way as when I see things about babies dying on tiktok (yes people actually bleeping film themselves while this is happening), i just NOPE right on by.
 
I wouldn't have any issue with Joanne talking about her traumatic experience if she actually talked about it. But she doesn't: she vaguebooks it.
Maybe I'm harsh or wrong but I find it unhelpful and potentially damaging when people keep bringing up the fact that they had a traumatic time, but don't give any actual idea of what (if anything) went wrong and how it was resolved, if it was resolved. Joanne has never said why or how she experienced that trauma, yet she keeps bringing it up!
I question what she thinks she's achieving by mentioning it - is she trying to prepare others for the possibility that their birth plan probably won't go to plan? Is she calling out the doctors or midwife team for doing something wrong? Is she trying to soothe her own trauma by sharing it?
I hope she's not still upset by whatever happened while she was giving birth to her little boy but if she is I hope she seeks therapy for that instead of terrifying other expectant mothers and casting aspersions on the team in the hospital (or of course if they actually did something wrong, I hope she follows up with them and is assured their response would be more appropriate in future)

I wouldn't give her credit for being so altruistic with it being a case of letting mums-to-be know their birth plan mightn't go as they expect. Any midwife worth their salt would tell you that.
She 100% alluded to medical mismanagement, going so far as to request her labour notes, and that's as far as it went publicly. Apart from her continuing to hint at Rivers birth being a total shitshow due to the hospital/medical team.
IF anything genuinely was mismanaged and it was their fault- you can bet on your life it'd be all over her page- highlighted and all.

That's my feeling on the matter too.
I suppose it's good for people who have been in a similar situation to what Joanne describes to feel that they're not alone... I just don't see Joanne showing how to move on or deal with it, so unfortunately it goes no further than that feeling of empathy or feeling "seen".
 
Totally agree with the vague booking about mistakes being made. If I was betting woman I’d say she just didn’t get the birth she wanted and so some else must be at fault because she had it on her manifestation board.

Look she’s entitled to talk about her births but they don’t hold any more weight than the over sharer at the school gate, the daughter of the woman in your spin class or your pal’s sister in law.

I don’t like the fetishing of natural birth that she seems to have bought into. People have traumatic vaginal births with bad outcomes for baby and injuries for mum. Some people have planned sections that are calm and relaxed and seem the safest choice for them. I do think women deserve better than being told the a healthy baby is the only thing that matters but a “good” and “trauma-free” birth can come in many shapes and forms.
 
Whatever about it all, she 100% gives the impression that natural births ‘s are superior to c sections (elective or emergency) and that breast feeding is superior to formula fed. She’s a sanctimonious bleep no matter what opinion she has. Safe delivery is best and fed is best. There’s no need to go on like 1 or other makes you a poxy hero and Mother Earth.
The vaguebooking is spot on, it comes across more like she didn’t get her VBAC because dr wasn’t happy about god knows what and that’s what she has decided is traumatic, not that there was medical negligence because you can be CERTAIN, any medical negligence would have gone to court and she’d have sued ( we all know she loves to threaten it Willy nilly for silly things so for a legitimate thing she would and should have) AND she would not have returned to the same hospital to birth a second child
