I don’t think it’s fair to say severe vomiting and HG are the same thing. They aren’t. My friend had HG and she was hospitalised for nearly her whole pregnancy, it was more than just severe vomiting. So I think it’s fine to use the correct terminology, more people should know about it, but it does always seem like she always has the most wrong with her!
Fair enough, I didn’t mean offence to your friend or others who may suffer, more just all these influencers dramatise everything that happens in their lives!

I was due my first child two weeks before Chessie but had a traumatic miscarriage early December (sepsis, hospitalisation, the whole shebang.)

I wasn't sure how it would feel when all the December announcements started happening but honestly I'm just so thrilled for everyone who's having a healthy pregnancy, wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy.

However, that bloody advice post Chessie put up last night where she spoke as if she's an authority on all things first trimester that us mere mortals should look to as a guru... I had to unfollow. I wanted to scream at the phone!

Did anyone else find it extremely annoying and tone deaf or am I projecting onto her?!

And most people who suffer HG can’t be arsed with taking selfie’s while in hospital but Chess can’t miss an opportunity

I’m so sorry for your loss and what you went through ❤

I did find it a bit tone deaf, and she is just acting like the authority on pregnancy it’s very annoying. The first trimester sucks for many many women, she’s not a special oracle 🙄 also the bump photos (what bump?!) are already getting annoying. Have unfollowed, I’m pregnant myself but can’t bear seeing her gurning face accepting all the freebies for the next 6 months

First of all, I’m so, so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine how devastating that must be. 💕

And I totally agree. She’s vile. I don’t know what it is about her but for me she’s the worst influencer out there. She has absolutely zero discernible talent OR work ethic. And she’s the most dreadful attention seeker.

She’s always been obsessed with babies but that doesn’t give her any authority to make posts like that. Why has she written it as if it’s gospel? It’s literally just her own very specific experience.

It also makes me so nervous when people post this kind of thing midway through a pregnancy. I’m even weird about baby showers which is probably a bit extreme! But still. That image of the tiny baby is something that I think she could have kept to herself.

Totally agree. same with her advice about getting an early scan at 8-9 weeks. My midwife is totally against early scans, they give false reassurance and the NHS don't do them, you have to pay privately for them.

Completely agree. My first pregnancy I had a scan at 8 weeks all fine... had a miscarriage 2 weeks later

The NHS do do them, for people with recurrent miscarriages for example. I had one privately in my last pregnancy and I will again in this one for my own peace of mind and knowing there is a baby in the right place growing as it should. Any scan can give false assurance as something can still go wrong afterwards. However I would never advise others to have one just because I did.

I know they do them for recurrent miscarriages or as an emergency for pain or bleeding in pregnancy. I'm pregnant and NHS did one to rule out an ectopic at about 8 weeks at the EPU and my previous miscarriage was diagnosed at an urgent early scan last yea after bleeding but they don't do them as a routine thing to all pregnant women and I don't think Chessie should be advising everyone to get one.

There's been a few stories in the press lately about these private scan places too.

I used to quite like Chessie but I’ve realised she’s a massive gob. As others have said, she’s going to be the most annoying pregnant person ever 😫 I guess she did need some new content after her wedding was cancelled though....🙄

I just really am so angry at both her and her sister. The disrespect they have for everyone which is hidden behind a fun and happy persona is just disgusting. I wouldn’t want a best friend like you! You only care about yourself clearly.
The NHS is crippled
The arts are basically dead
There are hundreds of people dying each day.
Yet these influencers want to just get out and make content and see their friends.
STOP RUINING EVERYONES LIVES! There are no ifs or buts, rules are rules and they are lenient enough for everyone to have someone to look after them. Of course it’s not comfortable and of course we miss people, I would love to see my best friends I haven’t seen since March. But if I have to choose between coughing my lungs up and potentially killing other people and going for a jolly with my friend because I feel like I need to I know where my morals lie.

I feel like we need a thread for her sister Bronte.
Broke the T4 London rules by going to her parents house in Tunbridge Wells for Christmas. And has since gone back to London where she moved into a new flat.

Is now posting swipe ups (which are clearly affiliated links) to everything she’s bought and not declaring them as such.
Tagging all the brands in hope of freebies. Just like every other blagger influencer.

Completely agree. She’s literally as annoying as her sister. She deleted my comments when I called her out for visiting her family over Christmas. Again...another gob!!!

Bronte seems to be changing her support bubble as often as her knickers. I agree, she needs a thread of her own!

There must be a way to report them without knowing where they live? Or maybe some of you know where they live. For the met website you need to have part of the post code.
Not only are these people incredibly lucky but they are also increasingly stupid and selfish. They need to be shown they aren’t above the law, nobody is. They are using their platforms to influence people, showing them that making rules fit them is ok! AND ITS NOT!
