Which midwife was it? I'm so upset she's said that. My friend is having her first baby and was so so excited that she'd booked those classes online cos the NHS ones are now no longer free. Don't have the heart to tell her lucy was talking shite.

I know my friend could have checked but she's gullible and clearly believed lucy.

It's area dependent. My trust definitely don't offer classes anymore.

She has such a big following though she definitely should have done her research before saying it!

Not sure how you'd research it other than actively asking strangers if your midwife was lying to you though? My midwife told me NHS antenatal classes had been stopped due to COVID, not just classes in my area. I don't think many people wouldn't take that at face value?

Ah okay, if this was just a normal mum stating this on a baby group I'd totally het it but this is her making a bold blanket statement followed by plugging her "hypnobirthing course" to a whole load of followers to I would expect her to have done some research / ask around it only took us a few comments to find out that some places were offering courses plus there are some free ones online!

It was thelifeofamidwife_ looks like she has deleted her stories now though or maybe they’ve expired.

I don’t think it would have been such a bad thing for Lucy to say ordinarily, but she’s trying to benefit financially from it which is out of order.

Not meaning to be that person, I get she wants to brag and good for her BUT..


There is NOTHING more annoying than somebody bragging about how much their baby sleeps 🤣🤣🤣🤣


Love from a tired mum of a 12 week old who wants milk every 2 hours day and night, F you Lucy 🤣

I totally agree with this. When she's posting that her baby is sleeping 14 hours at less than 3 months old, she makes me so mad. Those first few months are SO HARD. Other mums do not need to be seeing her BS lies.
 
Even getting 2 classes makes me sad. My boys are 19 and 16 and with both of them I had a free six week course at my local health centre. I met a group group of women and we continued to meet up a couple of times a month for the first year.
I will say though, and don’t shun me for this, I do think some people make a meal of early motherhood . I’m not saying i was out on the razz like Lucy but when they say they haven’t managed to shower/brush their hair etc in the first month or so. That new born baby can’t actually move so put it down safely and get in the shower and get dressed. If they cry they cry. I would have felt like utter crap if I hadn’t of had a shower every morning !

I have managed a shower every day for sure. But this baby is super chill. My daughter was a reflux baby and she was sick ALL of the time, she had allergies so cried ALL of the time and I was exclusively pumping so was pumping and feeding her ALL of the time. So the first month really was hell and I really did not shower and it really was difficult 🤣 this time round I have ppd so I do prioritise little things like a shower/ hot coffee and I think im also more laid back in general as its not my first so I totally get what you mean. I think it gets harder as they get older / more active/ can talk back to be honest 🤣

I had a 6 week course in 2016!
 
She definitely shouldn’t be bragging about sleep as any second time mum knows a sleep regression can hit at any moment 🙃

Every baby and women’s recovery is different so she might not be lying - I have two kids the same age and honestly first time around was all the bad stereotypes plus an allergy baby with bad reflux but second time around has been a dream in comparison - pain-free breastfeeding, short feeds, non-contact napper, hardly any night wake-ups, zero reflux and I was up and about in the first week and I definitely shower a lot more this time around 🤣.
so it is possible her daughter might be an easy baby Buuuut the amount Ryan is away I also doubt she hasn’t got help and she should be declaring that. Considering her following and that the newborn days are an emotional time for most she has been pretty insensitive this time around with flaunting all her trips out and child-free times which just isn’t realistic for the vast majority

Omg your eldest is jusy like mine. 4 allergies and horrific silent reflux. It was horrendous and I couldn't do anything, but my second is an absolute dream now she's settled on bottles, not an issue at all.

It's 100% harder as they get older because they need more entertaining, you can pop them under a playmat whilst you eat or drink a cuppa or wash up etc.
