Just tried watching it too, and she's so big that even speaking seems to take so much effort. It sounds like she's recovering from a run when she's just lying on the sofa and chatting for 20 minutes.
No wonder she's so exhausted all the time!
It can’t be good for you to be short of breath just from talking.
A resting HR of 130 is really concerning and I’m sure they would have been worried about blood clots - pregnancy, raised BMI and dehydration are all risk factors.
You get given a prophylactic (low dose) of blood thinners when admitted to hospital, the treatment dose is a lot higher so I don’t think they’d have told her a low dose could have “treated her blood clot if she had one”.
Also you don’t get “injected with radiation” - the injection is non radioactive contrast dye. The radiation exposure is from the actual scanner. Surely someone would have explained this to her?

The 'radiation injection' was a doozy
. For someone who wants to advocate for herself, it is sensible to know what your're advocating for and against first.Anyone know why the contrast dye would get 'stuck' in her arm? A case of the baby veins again?
She doesn’t have “baby veins”; they struggle to take her blood because of how much body large she has.
I actually think she doesn’t realise that her size means she needs to drink a lot more water than the average person. You need to drink water according to your size, and there is a clear link in studies between obesity and dehydration - the larger you are, the less likely you are to be adequately hydrated.
If she’s eating a lot of salty processed food and not eating enough water-filled salads and fruits then that will contribute too, and despite what she pretends to eat, it’s clear from her fridge photo that she almost exclusively eats pre-packaged, salty, processed crap.

I feel sorry for her ( only a little bit ) she’s trying to force a perfectly healthy pregnancy with a perfectly sized bump when neither are true, I hope she is okay mentally
I’m inclined to disagree with you I have baby veins not overweight always have done. Not everything is weight related
It goes from bad to worse.
Yes of course some people do have small veins, but there is a very well-documented link between obesity and difficulty finding a vein. It is far more likely that is her problem, rather than having small veins (or it could be both, I suppose).
Smack..sniff...wheeze..sniff..wheeze..smack.. that's all I heard and oh the no appetite lol then I switched off! Did like the comment above tho before I went lol
The thing with Grace is, she is braced for an attack when it sounds like this person was genuinely concerned for her. I don't mind them being defensive over Tattle because we just be speaking our minds, but I think if a subby takes the time to leave you a comment maybe try and respond in a positive way, especially when it's clear there's no malice behind it.
Trying to decide what the worst aspect of this video was-the lip smacking, sniffing, breathlessness or total denial. Hope for her and babies sake she can get some help. And she wants to be a therapist??????
Exactly. She absolutely spews passive aggressiveness in every sentence she speaks. It’s always the ones preaching about positivity and self love that are the complete opposite of what they want to portray themselves as. If you have to constantly repeat how healthy and happy you are....you ain’t
So happy to have found this thread Her pregnancy 'journey' has been killing me.
Her pregnancy 'journey' has been killing me.Absolutely this. I’ve refrained from commenting on this thread for fear of being too harsh and saying something I may regret but I’ve had two miscarriages and a stillbirth this year, the last of which was 4 weeks ago. All whilst the UK was in various lockdowns. Unable to have any support from anyone other than my husband whilst grieving whist Grace moans that her boyfriend can’t go to scans to see their perfectly healthy child then moaning about every possible symptom and that her child is ‘taking’ all her energy / nutrients. I’d have given whatever it took to be assured that my baby was healthy and thriving.
All the bull about manifesting the perfect pregnancy just really bleeping riles me. I made myself ill with anxiety worrying if my child would live and spent almost every hour of every day ‘manifesting’ positive thoughts and sending prayers that my baby would live. She didn’t. I could honestly shake her for being so utterly tone deaf and ignorant.
I’m sorry this happened to you too. I hope you received support you need. Xx
I do not believe for a second she has not been asked to take asprin. I am plus size but not as big as Grace (I am in no way shaming her size at all), this is my first pregnancy, and I was told despite healthy and no family history of any risks I would need to take asprin from week 12 all the way through my pregnancy due to my weight to lower risk of pre eclampsia. How on earth has she never heard of it?! She makes people like myself who are plus size and pregnancy feel like we've done something wrong.
I’m so sorry for your losses my love, I’m sorry you’re having to read this silliness too. Any woman who actually understands these things would have nothing but love and compassion for your experiences, it’s only because grace is a moron that she’s saying these things (not that it excuses it).
Said it earlier but if you feel you need it so get in touch with the IAPT team, you will be a priority and I found my experience life changingly good. xxxx
