I personally hope she is checking in with a psychologist/therapist given her significant mental illness history.

Think she’s doing too much too soon to prove that she has it all together. A C section is still not minor surgery.

She is absolutely doing way too much too soon. If it doesn’t bite her on the arse physically it could catch up with her mentally
 
So this premature baby isn't even halfway to term yet? And she's bringing her out to bleeping pub gardens on a November night?

Jesus Anna, you're such a rock star! You're so cool with your blow dry and your cat eye and your ciggies in the smoking section with your (still) premature child, with your haemorraging and your massive fanny pad and your c section wound not even stopping your sexy sexy lifestyle! You're STILL that Grubby Little duck Slut baby! You still got it! YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Tbf I had a section and was alright after a week or two. Was surprised when I was discharged that they only give you paracetamol and ibuprofen after major surgery though! But I wasn't out at the pub either. Was just chilling in the house and watching box sets in a cluster feeding mess for the first few weeks. I hate people online who make you feel guilty for that or create an image that you just carry on as normal straight after birth. Out at restaurants and looking all made up etc. It's unrealistic for most
 
Yeah to be fair I was absolutely fine a couple of weeks after my section and 3 weeks after me and my ex had sex, I had a textbook experience with minimal issue and only took paracetamol for the first two weeks. I wasn’t down the pub because duck that but me and my ex went out for a meal two weeks post partum and I was walking about regularly after a week.

Of course it’s unrealistic. I hate the fact that women think they have to get back to normal so fast. Let alone with having a new baby to take care of and a pregnancy to recover from.

If you had a hysterectomy, or bowel surgery, no one would expect you to be up and about so fast, getting out and about. Yet after having a baby, it’s seen as something to aspire to, even if you’ve had a section, which is about as close as you can get to being cut in half and sewn back together again.

My dad had abdominal surgery two weeks after one of my sections. He wasn’t booted out of bed 12 hours after with a paracetamol, everyone was on at him to rest and look after himself. It drives me mad.

Women need to do things in their own time, if thats A few days post section, then Good for them, but so many women feel like a failure if they take time to recover. I milked it for all it was worth. I didn‘t come downstairs for 4 weeks each time, it was great 🤣

📰📺Disabled people nationwide are aghast at ‘journalist’ Anna Whitehouse’s revelation that accessibility is an issue in the UK. Speaking from her home in Shropshire, disability spokesperson Sarah Wyatt said ‘As a community we are so grateful to Anna for discovering this issue. We all thought we were just really really bad at self propelling up stairs. We didn’t realise there was another way.’

I think the c section allows her to brag that her vajay is still taut for Chinesto and break the stigma of c sections.

She’s going to be campaigning for an International Day of Recognition for Mothers with Perfect Vaginas - of course she will be the poster GLFS for the campaign. Flex Working is so boring. She needs to sex things up to keep Hedge Fund Chin interested.

Me too 🤷🏼‍♀️ everyone is different. Friend of mine was like me, other friend literally couldn’t move for 6 weeks and needed loads of help 🤷🏼‍♀️ everyone heals differently. Now I had a wisdom tooth removed and was in bed for a week and popping pills every 4 hours - a minute over and I was crying with the pain.
 
On the subject of recovery from abdominal surgery, I was talking to my aged mother the other day about her hysterectomy in the late seventies.

She had two weeks in hospital, then was ordered down to a big old convalescence home on the south coast with a sea view for another two weeks! Matron was very strict about visiting hours, and on their final day they were allowed out to walk down the hill to the wool shop. 4yo me was shipped off to relatives for the duration.

Those were the days.

I was in bits after having kids, but can definitely understand that some people feel good quite quickly. That’s such a good thing, and obvs I wish it for everyone

What I can’t get on board with, though, is someone with as big a platform as Anna - who is intelligent enough to know the damage social media can do - would put all of this ‘aspirational’ new mum about own tit online.

I also can’t stand how much exposure that baby has had already. As I’ve said before, I am a stabby working class person, so maybe I just can’t relate? But ‘we’ don’t let our babies be cold, and we don’t drag them about all over the place on buses/tubes and tit unless absolutely necessary. The kids filthy nails holding the #preemie gave the heebie jeebies!! FYI my kids have been kept clean and away from unnecessary germs since birth and they genuinely are rarely unwell. It’s not like exposing them to filth as a tiny newborn helps their immune system or anything.

And another thing!! One really good reason not to be going here there and everywhere with a newborn is that you need time to sync up and learn their cues and ways. If you stay quietly with them as much as possible, you very quickly settle into a natural routine and know when they’re getting enough milk etc etc and this is so much more difficult when you’re trying to be a social butterfly at the same time.

She’s seemingly got a big, expensive house and a tit tonne of child free time and childcare, do some quiet things like have friends over, or walk to your nearest local coffee shop. The traipsing is just bonkers busy work, and means you’re exposing your #preemie to constant battles against rogue germs, fumes, too long in a car seat/pram, and their delicate skin is either too long in a soiled nappy or you have to change them in a grotty bathroom. Just no. All that just to make other mums feel tit about themselves for being in their dressing gowns. Like fair enough have a shower and move around, but this ‘I can do it all’ showing off thing is wrong for about 100 reasons!
