Mother Pukka #8 Everything is a lie, isn’t it?

All this breast feeding nonsense about it being a super power and all the pressure is what made me feel like a terrible first time mum. I was going through a horrendous time during pregnancy and was put on anti depressants. These were safe during pregnancy but not for breast feeding but mistakes were made and I breast fed for a day before anyone realised. When they told me I had to stop breast feeding because it wasn’t safe, I was inconsolable and demanded to come off the tablets. Obviously they said no as I was suicidal and going to a mental health unit for mums and babies. An absolutely beautiful Spanish consultant came to see me and told me how her mum never breast fed her and look how well she was doing, it was not the be all and end all of being a mother! I’ve never forgot those words.
Also that baby is now predicted ABB in her A levels and has 4 conditional places and 1 unconditional place for Uni next year 🥰

Please don’t feel bad. A healthy you is far more important to baby ❤️
 
I thought that when I saw those photos how bleeping contrary can one woman be 🙄🙄
duck me, take off the bastard filters Anna. You’re fooling no one, except maybe a sleep deprived new mum who feels like she’s failing because she doesn’t look like you. even you don’t look like you.

Of course she states she’d never seen a postpartum body before she decided to get hers out. She really does think she’s the first woman to ever have given birth doesn’t she?!
I’ve seen her post partum body more than I’ve seen my own. Ever!

Covid sparked huge opportunity for flexible working. Anna - also a virus - is just taking credit where it’s not really due.
Cor-Anna-virus 🫣sorry I’ve had a wine!
 
Maybe this is controversial I don't know but IRL does anyone give a tit what your "postpartum" body looks like? All the women I know who've had kids really couldn't care less. It just is what it is.
Absolutely not. I didn't care, my husband didn't care, my friends didn't care. We all went back to what we were before, give or take a pound or two, and that was that. I remember being amazed that I still looked pregnant the day after I had my first, and genuinely wondered if there was another in there that the doctors had missed. After that I was too busy being knackered/stressed and occasionally elated.
 
It must be difficult if your body image is very important before you’re pregnant. Luckily for me I was a disaster zone back then too. And yes, I’d known my husband for more than three months before I got knocked up.
And if all your self esteem relies on it. I’m the same age as Anna and I’ve found being in my mid forties pretty liberating. Maybe because I’ve got a husband who looks at me the same way now as he did 20 years ago or maybe because I don’t rely on my looks for my self identity or confidence. It does make me worry for my teens though.
 
Go home Anna, go home. It's actually quite concerning behaviour if her or the baby genuinely have anything even close to 'flu'.

Oh god just had a look at the Food Doula website and it’s making me cringe. “Nourishment deliveries”, “ food support”. Thanks but I’ll take scoffing a Crunchie at 3am to see me through the night over bone broth and congee 😂

Such privilege! You will also have a smooth, velvety milk chocolate . A comforting, crunchy indulgence designed to soothe your post partum body and soul. The bar features a shell that lovingly embraces a light honeycomb core.

I’m so uncultured that I don’t even know what congee is.

Something to do with Earth mother placenta smoothies? :ROFLMAO:

How old is baby Content-Zola now? I’m pretty sure calpol shouldn’t be given when they’re under 2 months old and I’m pretty sure she’s less than that?

Zola was apparently born on October 20, 2024.

So two months old.

I’ve a very weird relationship woth mine atm but more in relation to my traumatic birth. I don’t like looking at my stomach as my stretch marks are bad and still livid as is my c section scar. My husband is being really supportive though

Think most baby’s first calpol coincides with their 1st jabs at 8 weeks…
