Megan Mckenna #2 Bump on display, moving away, give it a year till they call it a day

1
My daughter had severe reflux that went on for six months. I unfortunately had to go back to work after 3 months of her being born due to financial reasons. I would be up all hours with a screaming baby who constantly vomited everything up. The minute my head hit the pillow she would be up screaming again. Then I would have to work fulltime in a nursery dealing with other people's kids. Honestly, it was rough, it really put a dampner on the whole motherhood experience, but do you know what? I got on with it, I sucked it up for six long months until we started weaning and the reflux completely disappeared. 3 hours of sleep is a luxury! Is she expecting him to sleep through the night already? What about dumbo is he helping in the nights or day and allowing her to get some sleep? These influencers are just so wrapped up in having the perfect life and family that they can't cope with things us regular people deal with on a daily basis!
 
My baby is 13 weeks old now and it’s been so hard he’s been so poorly since day one with reflux and cmpa! Projectile vomiting all day everyday it was HELL and all he did was cry all the time too! Was surviving on about 2/3 hours of sleep a night! My partner works 13hour days and I also have a 3 year little girl who’s autistic (who has sleeping problems) which definitely made it fun😂 how I made it through those first 8 weeks I will never know…I do wish I had the help of a nanny though!
 
She did say Oli had the baby for the early evening stint so she could get some sleep. I’m interested to know who would have got a night nanny if they had the financial ability to when their colicky baby was tiny? I probably would have done. Lack of sleep was the worst for me!
 
She is cuckoo eh she thinks the baby crying and the lack of sleep on the babies part and her part means he is not well. This is it! She had to be the most delu lu new mum I have seen of these Z listers in a long time. A Nanny from Switzerland lol can't wait till she tells her to stop her nonsense tho is being paid so will give the baby some sort of diagnosis to shut her up.

They are a pair of nobodies not as if he is a Prem League Footballer and she is a top actress. Hope he gets stung for maintenance from the ex as he should.

Credit to her for admitting she's getting a nanny. A lot don't.

Well… strictly speaking what she’s done is admitted to drafting in a “nurse nanny” so the implication is she’s only doing it because the baby has some sort of medical issue with his stomach that this “nurse nanny” is going to magically resolve and then she can disappear again (when we know she won’t and she probably isn’t medically trained or from Switzerland either, she’s probably just a bog standard nanny from some agency in the UK that’s favoured by ‘high net worth individuals’ 🙄)

I think we probably all know that she would’ve got a nanny anyway, but she probably wouldn’t have admitted that. This way she can spin it as something she has to do for the baby, not for herself.

Everyone else just gets on with looking after a newborn and muddles through it as best as they can. She seems to have absolutely no understanding that her baby is behaving no differently than the vast majority of newborn babies on the planet.

She acted SO smug all through pregnancy. When people told her to enjoy her time on holiday etc she would snap back and be a witch saying she’s ready for everything and life will be amazing. She was too concerned with showing off her Prada baby bag instead of living in reality. Now she is being slapped with reality and realising a baby isn’t just a cute accessory for instagram content and you actually have to look after them 🤣 She looks like she is really struggling. In her head she’s trying to justify things not being perfect by convincing herself he is really poorly. Like someone said above it’s an excuse to hire a nanny. Soon as the nanny arrives who wants to bet the baby will be straight on formula 👍🏻
 
I genuinely wouldn't hire a Nanny if I had the finances. I'd maybe get a relative to come over and do an over night to catch up on sleep but the thought of a stranger comforting my baby when they're hungry or stressed is too much for me. I struggled with two very colicky unsettled babies but you get through it. Motherhood is tough full stop but they're my babies and it's my job to see to their needs. Obviously there are people who have no choice but to use childcare but she's literally at home all day with one baby and no other real commitments. A privilege in my book.

Agree with this so much. People who have to work and worry about finances have no choice but to have help with childcare but if you are privileged and lucky enough to be able to dedicate all your time to your new born then why wouldn’t you? She thinks you can buy and throw money at everything. She wanted a baby immediately so paid for IVF straight after meeting someone and now she’s paying for someone else to look after that baby that she was apparently so desperate for.

You’re absolutely correct. duck all the beautiful things in the nursery, you’d be happier if your baby was sleeping well in a cardboard box carrying a poxy nappy bag around. Reality check

I said in the newborn stages I wish I had the money to, I didn’t have a great support network apart from my partner and didn’t know if I was doing things right, ended up driving myself mad trying to get him to be a ‘good sleeper’ like you see online which feels stupid now, they’ll get there when they’re ready

She’s pathetic. She’s replying to comments saying she’s only getting 2-3 hour sleep windows at a time. Isn’t that the same for EVERY newborn? I bet there’s nothing wrong with him she just can’t handle looking after a baby 24/7 😴

Omg is that what she said? That’s what I’m getting with mine and I think I’m the luckiest person with a good sleeping baby cause I know a lot of people that don’t get anywhere near that with newborns?!
If she’s getting that much sleep and she thinks that’s wrong and she should be getting longer then she had absolutely no clue what having a baby was going to be like. What an absolute 🤡
 
She’s definitely hit a “oh duck, this is quite hard, boring and relentless” stage very quickly after the buzz of all the attention seeking announcements of the baby arrival.

Desperately trying to find something wrong with him when….. he’s just a baby! They don’t sleep, they need you available 24/7 to feed, change and soothe them. It’s not about you anymore!

Novelty wears off very quickly for people like Megan who has had a baby for all the wrong reasons with someone she’s known five minutes. Everyone comes and says hello, has a new baby cuddle and then unless you put yourself out there to build up a network with other new mums, it’ll be lonely and boring.

My youngest didn’t sleep through the night until he was nearly 4 ✌🏼
 
Whether the baby is unwell or not, she’s not coping - whether that’s because of lack of sleep or anxiety - she’s reached out and got help.

Good luck to her for that

No disputing she’s in a financially privileged position that she’s able to do so with the hire of a private nanny or nurse.
Lucky lady that she has this option

Sad that dad doesn’t seem to be doing much from what we see.

Respect that she’s said she’s getting help - she doesn’t have to be superwoman - much better than all those other ‘celebs’ who hire a nanny on the down low and pass themselves as off as Wonder Woman- that does not give any support to those who are struggling- in any circumstances.

A bit sad that she really thought motherhood would be a walk in the park.
 
I imagine as a footballer, even as a fairly tit one, he’d be taking home a substantial amount salary wise compared to normos.

But unless you make sensible investment decisions/long term plans it’s only a short sharp burst of dollar, isn’t it?

Internet is suggesting he earns around £700k a year. Not for that much longer though I imagine!
