As someone who is pregnant and classed as high risk, I find Grace’s attitude very alarming. My first born’s birth was so traumatic and nearly three years later I am still healing. I am also pregnant with my second baby and whilst I am hoping for an “easier” birth (although what is easy about pushing a human out of yourself
) I am realistic and know that often things don’t go the way you had planned. I don’t expect my second birth to heal the first….I just have a slightly clearer insight into what will happen!
Grace is high risk. Fact. She can deny it until she is blue in the face but she is. Her weight will be one reason (yes BMI is controversial and I dont agree with it entirely but the NHS use it and that ain’t gonna change soon!) Plus
her recent health issues will be another. I reckon her consultant will push for a c-section as it’s less than two years since her last birth.
Why can’t she just be honest? Her audience is fairly substantial and she could do so much good by talking about being high risk. Don’t lie and pretend.
I remember when she was pregnant with Cyprus and found her attitude so disjointed and naively I thought she would be different this time. How wrong was I!? I just feel so sorry for Cyprus…his first couple of years have been a rollercoaster and now he is going to be pushed to the side by a new baby. It’s heartbreaking
