I've been catching up with all of these threads. I've been enjoying the show.
Whitney is my favourite. So far I'm not impressed with any of the boyfriends. None of them have shown much support.

Will try to keep this short. Someone asked on a previous thread about views on fibromyalgia. As someone who has it I'll be honest.
It took years of tests and specialists to get diagnosed. Before having children I could manage it. If I had anything planned meeting friends etc I made sure I took it easy on the days leading up and after. I worked full time but it took it's toll.
Since having children/getting older it's got worse. Some days I have good periods throughout the day. The bad days my priority is that children are clean, fed, happy. Everything else has to get ignored. I don't have help around me so I have to get up. The very bad days my body feels like I'm dragging a heavy weight, clothes hurt my body and I walk strange. The top of my legs won't move properly. I can't open bottles, jars etc. The brain fog and memory loss is terrible.
I have a disabled badge and I'm embarrassed. I'm looking into a mobility aid for when my youngest isn't in a pram (although im very self conscious about it). I rely on the pram to help me walk and carry my shopping. I've given up a lot of luxuries like going to hairdressers, I'm a write off for days afterwards. I'm struggling badly with weight as I can't move much or have the energy to prepare healthy food for myself, viscious cycle. I've lost friends because I can't do things at the drop of a hat and there is a lack of understanding around this condition which I get. It's frustrating because I still want to do the same things I used to, but can't. I want to take my children to lots of clubs but can't. That's just how it is and everyone has to manage their lot.
Chloe is extremely fortunate to have her mum care for her the way she does.
 
My kids will be rear facing until they’re 18😂
All jokes aside it really does shock me that some parents don’t care enough to ensure their kids are as safe as possible in the car. I’d never forgive myself if something happened to my kids because they were strapped in properly or rear facing. I see it as neglect personally.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned but why do MTV blur the breastfeeding? Unless the girls have asked them to, I don’t really get why they’d do it? Makes it seem taboo but it’s really not

Just catching up and I wish Whitney didn’t give a tit about peoples opinions, put the baby on a bottle and get herself some sleep/rest.

This. I was getting so frustrated and sad watching Whitney struggle to do something that is causing her pain and exhaustion.

I struggled with BF. My milk just didn't come in and even with pumping, I still didn't get any. It was so heartbreaking and exhausting as I always dreamt of BF my kids but it wasn't to be.

I appreciate she comes from a different cultural community but hers and babies health and wellbeing are more important surely...

Exactly this. It made me so miserable and I had the nicest midwife who told me to just put the baby on a bottle and she was telling me as a mum, not a midwife. I was so grateful for her.
 
Did anyone used to watch Chloes videos in back in 2020 when she was constantly in hospital and fed by a feeding tube? I was so surprised when she got pregnant after being so unwell.

I had a look back at those clips. She was never officially diagnosed with anything. The hospital wouldn’t let her go home with the NG tube and she quite quickly got over her fear of food!

It depends, if it’s due to eating she must of been at a healthy wait and periods being regular. You’ve got to be at an extreme low weight for a good amount of time for your periods to stop like if she was under weight her periods may of been irregular but even so she would still be ovulating then to get pregnant

Wouldn't Whitney have been 17 at the time? It's probably not about breastfeeding it's probably more about showing her nipples on TV since she'd have technically been a minor
