Nothing for months until she’s doing a house Reno and quite clearly wants freebies and then comes back on when she has a miscarriage. I’m afraid to say, you can’t have it both ways! Either share parts of your life or don’t!

It’s very sad that she has lost another. I cannot even imagine wanting to put myself through another round of IVF, considering everything she has been through, and she does have one healthy child… she had her happy ending, she should probably have left it at that.
If you haven’t been in her shoes you don’t get to say what she should probably have done. Terrible thing to say.

I wouldn’t go as far to say it was nasty! I think the comment merely meant that she had eventually got her baby safely into the world. Sadly, miscarriages happen and to lots of women. It does seem doubly sad in view of what Elle has been through previously.
yes, thank you GossipBlue - that is what I was trying to say. Shame that people misinterpreted it.

Why post from your hospital bed? Why does this need to be shared? It’s terrible, really really sad that this has happened. But why does everything need to make it onto Instagram?

I’ve had miscarriages before and the last thing on my mind is taking a photo! It’s baffling

I had an emergency c section earlier this year and I have been advised not to get pregnant for at least a year. Olivia was only 1 in June. It’s a lot of trauma to put your body through.

Awful awful what’s happened to her and no one should have to go though that many losses. I totally get sharing her losses helped her and apparently others but she seems a very private person now I’m all for infertility, misscarriages being discusssed it should be more and women deserve more rights around leave etc but I think what people are trying to say is that her account has pretty much been inactive for a year she’s told people she can’t help them with their losses so why post.
Her choice I guess and it must help her in someway 🤷🏻‍♀️. As someone who’s been through ivf and losses she’s clearly made of tough stuff to keep going for my own sanity / mental health I had to stop you can’t keep putting your body through that process forever but if your goal is two kids and you have no finance issues I guess yon go on forever she’s brave to keep trying in my opinion, but I don’t understand the sharing from her,

For me, one of the reasons doesn't want to post Olivia because she doesn't want to trigger anyone or come across as smug or 'fixed', but another miscarriage is something that her followers can (very sadly) relate to.

I think she also wants people to know that there isn't necessarily a 'happily ever after' for her. Yes, she has a child who I am sure is treasured but that doesn't mean she doesn't long for more.

I think her posting this sad news will have helped a lot of people. There will be other families just like theirs who have struggled with loss, finally got their rainbow baby and then suffered more heartache. People like her who dared to hope and then had those hopes dashed and felt foolish will feel less alone.

pardon?
she did have a happy ending.. she had a child after years of heartbreak. That is wonderful.
I’m trying to say that personally I don’t know how anyone could have wanted to put them self through all the uncertainty of IVF again after what happened with Teddy.
anyway I’m not getting into an argument with you about it, I’m just giving my viewpoint which is what everyone here is doing.
There’s giving your “viewpoint” and then there’s just being nasty and insensitive. Not cool.

yeah everyone said this to me when I had problems at the start of my pregnancy with my youngest… “why would you put yourself through it after everything you went through before?” So insensitive. Why would I put myself through it? Because I wanted my beloved child to have a beloved sibling. Is that not allowed because I’d been through losses and trauma?

I don’t agree with your accusation that they were being nasty and insensitive at all. She merely pointed out that once she got her longed for baby she should have given herself some time to enjoy it and heal etc.

Quite happy for you not to agree. She didn’t say she should have given herself time to enjoy it and heal, they’re your words not hers. She didn’t word it anything like that which is why there was such a bad reaction to her comment. Bye bye x

What a truly insensitive comment. Who are you to judge what her happy ending is and how many children she should be happy with? Wow the level of dickishness is high here.

I always loved her page and her honesty and as a fellow pug mum I love Boris ( shoot me now) since she had her daughter she clearly hasn’t been present on it which is fine. I found the coming back about the new house a bit crap as it screams showing off and wanting freebies. Which we know she doesn’t need, however losing a child is devastating and then miscarrying multiple times must just be awful. I really do hope she manages to have another child as she clearly wants more. It was very honest of her to put it on her feed. Lots will relate to her and even if not will have a lot of sympathy for what’s she’s going through.

Let’s just hope none of them reach out to Ellie though…🙄

Her page was about baby loss awareness and her going through something no one should ever have to go through, so why now considering she’s been MIA for months is her page becoming house Reno’s it’s nothing to do with what her page is about. It’s beggy. She was gifted so much stuff before and she’s at it again. Letting the world know after such tragic losses, that there is a healthy happy baby at the end of it would be more apt but she seems to be keeping it so secretive

This! I admire Elle so much for all the charity work she has done and all the people she has helped and my heart goes out to her for yet another sad loss. For me though, it is the new house content that doesn’t fit. It is unnecessary and thoughtless. Her account is not an interiors account anymore - consciously or unconsciously- the two don’t really go alongside each other because they seem conflicted. I mean showing off your new aga to then post from your hospital bed just doesn’t feel right?! Maybe I am being over sensitive about this but statistically many of her followers are looking to her account because she is relatable for the very subject she has become (reluctantly) famous for - baby loss and infertility - brutal, cruel and indiscriminate - but many of those same followers will not have the money to continue with IVF, or a beautifully renovated home with cosy brand new Aga to go home to. Their pain and loss is the same no doubt but comfortable surroundings, no job to carry on with whilst pushing your emotions aside and hope of trying again undoubtedly makes living marginally easier. That is my conflict! Not in the slightest that money or material things bring happiness - we know that is not true where this subject is concerned- but it shouldn’t be pushed in front of peoples faces either when the majority of those following for the important message don’t have the same fortunate situation. I hope this doesn’t sound insensitive- it is absolutely not meant to be - just a point thats all that the content doesn’t all fit together anymore.

yes, she should start a separate interiors account if that’s her desire.

I see where you are coming from with this, ultimately the account was started as she threw herself into her home as it bought her comfort following the loss of her son, I am personally happy to see both, I see how home interiors brings her comfort amongst her sadness. It may not feel relatable anymore, would love an aga myself, but I understand and follow her account knowing it’s a mix of both.
You certainly didn’t sound insensitive at all, it’s a strange combination for an account isn’t it, but that is Elle’s reality she is choosing to share. It’s a shame that content is limited now she uses her private one though. X
