Oh god there’s so much to say, but I feel bad saying it?
I’m always on her for her misrepresentation re health - I really don’t care if she’s a size 2 or 222 it’s not a fat shaming thing but the misinformation she shares with a young female audience is reprehensible and could kill someone.
I think it’s cruel to lie about her risk assessment. Other pregnant women with an above recommended BMI are going to be horrified when they’re told they’re high risk, have to birth in a labour ward, need testing for GD or that they have it. You can’t be body positive / an advocate whilst denying the truth?
I had a high risk pregnancy (because of previous cancer) and you do have to adjust your expectations, put up with more interventions, and mourn not being able to have a posh MC mama home birth in a water pool, it’s tit doing your birthing classes and everyone else’s birth plans involve no interventions etc and you know you’ve just gotta cope with whatever life chucks at you, like those are conversations of value to be had not her being in utter denial. I was in a waiting room with a girl who must have been a size 16-18 tops and she’d been given a diet consultant and a midwife who deals with GD for her, I only had one cancer consultant so she seemed to have more appts than me. Shocked Grace miraculously doesn’t require them. Maybe she’ll come to peace with it
ETA sorry to be a complete witch but she’s 3 months right? I could still fit into my normal skinny jeans around then I just looked permanently bloated, so idk why she’s cradling her stomach like it’s the origin of life itself
