I do get your point, but her body does look different in both photos. It isn’t body positivity if slim women are excluded from the narrative.

because slim people who aren't perfectly toned can still get insecure when they see people looking perfect in gym wear

My dog ate a McDonald’s napkin earlier this evening. I feel this is also relevant to Soph’s thread because like you have a baby and she will have a baby.. I have a dog and she has a dog and some dogs eat napkins and some don’t but I’ll put together a big story about my dog for the thread when I have a moment

The worst part of influencers getting pregnant is the amount of people that use tattle threads to babble about their own kids and getting pregnant 🥱 Let’s have this thread for talking about boring Soph and the relevant tattle thread for people to discuss their kids / mumsnet for your own pregnancy!

Two HG pregnancies down and I personally found the neverending sickness infinitely worse than any part of labour. I’ve said it before on this thread, but it isn’t a competition. I get that Soph likes to complain, but pregnancy IS tough, it’s made tougher by the ‘just you wait’ attitude from others who are feeling bitter!ngl I hate this attitude. She’s experiencing pregnancy for the first time, and being sick IS awful. When I was pregnant, I was so sick of other women telling me “just wait, it gets worse”

Not a massive Soph fan, but genuinely, is she (everyone?) expected to know everything that is culturally significant to every country/culture in the world?

lol I do this all the time 🥲

what’s wrong with being ‘fucking white’? as a very pale person this irked me a little.

I think even if the labour and birth itself wasn’t ‘traumatic’, the baby being resuscitated and then being too unwell to hold your baby for several hours is serious!
She must’ve been in a bad way to not have been able to hold him.

In fairness to them I love that an influencer has adopted a dog and not just bought a insta dog. Well done to them, I liked that they addressed that and spoke about the process and how important it is to rescue - they both seem so happy with her and as Soph works from work it is genuinely A good thing to do. Genuinely pleased for them!

I actually think is refreshing to see her still doing make up etc and not move towards all baby/parenting content. So many "influencers " have a baby and then all of a sudden the baby is the new content and they are essentially making money of the kid which is so wrong. I quite liked her friend Jazzy but literally since she peed on the stick, that's all her content has been about, also sharing bathtime pics 
At least soph has the sense to keep the little man away from all that and protect his privacy.

It's a valid point though. Wouldn't sell well? Smh at your ignorance. That's like the number one excuse for lack of shades in makeup.
African American women spend $1.3trillion a year on beauty products so get out of here with the "won't sell well" nonsense. If it's produced for them, trust and believe they will buy it.
Black and poc love makeup as much as fairer people do. It's attitudes like this that shut deeper skinned people out of the beauty industry.
So it's not "wokeness" it's a valid point.

To be honest , if he didn't work people would say he was living off soph. I have respect for people that chose to work , even if they don't need to. Like Mrs hinches husband is generally seen as a bit of a layabout by her "trolls" because he quit work and now faffs around boosting his wife's ego all day and enjoying the good lifestyle without having to do very much. I think Soph and her fella are pretty normal and down to earth compared to some of the other beggars *cough Solomon and swash cough*.

I personally don’t think letting a dog on a sofa or bed justifies them as badly behaved. That’s down to the owner, if the owner allows it then there is nothing wrong with the behaviour. Also dogs bark sometimes. I don’t want to start an argument here. But how other people live with their pets and what they allow them to do shouldn’t be anyone else’s business. People chose to raise kids in different ways and pets shouldn’t be any different. Long as a pet is loved, fed and looked after properly nothing else should matter to outside individuals.

I like Soph and I think the fact she’s “boring” works for her. It means she’s genuine, unproblematic and isn’t stuffing her face with fillers. She shares what she likes, she does ads with products we know she likes. I think she’s done so well cos people can actually relate to her and almost see her as a friend rather than an influencer. That’s why I still watch her whereas I’m fed up of all the
agree with you. Plus there are WAY worse youtubers than her. She’s saying she wants to go away but hasn’t AND staying in the country. You’ve got the likes of ana and saffron and many others who have jetted off abroad multiple times throughout this pandemic. I don’t blame Sophie for wanting to go away, okay her job isn’t massively taxing but everyone needs a change of scenery.
Oh my god she is so ignorant! When you pay for wedding catering you're not JUST paying for food, you're paying for a team of professional and experienced waiting staff, who will be on their feet all day, literally waiting on you and your guests hand and foot, keeping an eye on the drinks, serving canapes... etc etc. Not to mention you're paying for a (usually small) kitchen team to produce 70-100+ mostly identical meals, to come out hot, perfectly cooked, at around the same time. It takes an extraordinary amount of expertise and coordination. Even more difficult than a commercial/restaurant kitchen which is a feat in itself. It's absolutely nothing like just going out for a meal in a restaurant. Does she think the food just materialises?
Add this to her moaning about wedding dress prices and saying that she'd sooner buy something from a high street brand that was probably made in a sweat shop. The level of privilege is insane. The worst part is that there's no doubt she can afford all of it and some. A lot of people would dream to be able to have the kind of wedding an influencer can afford. I think she thinks her horror at these prices makes her relatable, that she's not lost touch with the pauper, but it just highlights her complete lack of perspective.
