'small comfort there is at least one man in prison for it'. 'It' being 'these things'..? Ah Jack, using her words with laser precision as ever. So clear, so unambiguous.

Posting from the future so not sure where this lands, but this is typical of Jack.
She's not lying but not being truthful either.
There is a man who went to prison who also trolled Jack, but the prison sentence was for his attacks on another woman (and her family) She now posts on here from time to time. I won't tag her because I haven’t seen her in a while.
This man accused her (our friend) of abusing the family of Lee Rigby and animal cruelty. She got horrendous abuse and death threats, as did her family. THAT'S what he went to prison for, not the couple of tweets he sent Jack.

Completing one course of VBI, paying the extra charity money and taxes and stopping the Patreon grift could lessen symptoms.

So he was overdue *and* underweight? I know the bare minimum about pregnancy issues but I wasn't aware this was a thing.

Or she could block the Essex Police account and then they can't see it.

In all my jobs I have always talked to everyone and ( shock, horror) treated everyone with respect. They are all human beings in the same rat race as everyone else. I have never ever talked down to anyone in the work place and have been known to even help out anyone who needs it. Ie help the cleaners empty bins, wash up mugs in staff room, whatever. It's called not being a Dick, perhaps she should try it.

Jack's new partner/paymaster Superdrug advertise for retail apprentices on the minimum apprentice wage. I know retail isn't easy, but it doesn't require an apprenticeship, that's why it's already an entry level job.

Don't worry Jack will solve that all, just like she fixed del Monte and their child labour when they were her paymasters

Grunking, so apologies if this lands wrong but Jack wouldn't know if malicious reports of benefit fraud had been made, especially not if she was no longer on benefits. We don't investigate if the claim is closed, the item simply gets completed and forgotten about.

Depends what was classed as average weight for a baby back then, but they are in general getting heavier and heavier.

Low birth weight is totally fucking irrelevant, unless it’s an Actual Preemie, as weight affects survival chances.

I had a terrible first pregnancy, went into labour at 24 and 26 weeks, amniotic fluid leaking, bleeding, placenta was degrading (no cause ever found, very odd for a healthy 21/22 year old), so I spent a fair amount of time down this rabbit hole.

She was a 35 week baby, 4lbs. Went straight onto the ward with me, most likely due to steroid injections earlier on in pregnancy.

Two full term ones, 6lbs 12oz ish for both - they were all classed as Low Birth Weight babies.

But I repeat - it means NOTHING.

ETA - by nothing, I mean, it’s not something that really needs attention, medical or otherwise, unless there’s comorbid stuff, eg a 12lbs baby born to a woman with undiagnosed gestational diabetes might need time in NICU/SCBU, or a full term Very Low Birth Weight baby born to an addict.

The full article is really interesting in terms of how birth weight can indicate XYZ, but that’s me going down a rabbit hole that’s adjacent to my job

I suppose if your stable ethical fulcrum doesn't really exist, then it would be impossible to compromise or sell out.

If you smoke during pregnancy a baby can be born late and low birth weight. Smoking can cause low birth weights in babies. Not saying she did, but just stating that fact that was in my pregnancy leaflets when I had my kids.

Lots of reasons why there'd be fetal growth restriction. Sometimes it is idiopathic and mostly it is not the fault of the pregnant one but sometimes drink, drugs and tobacco play a part in restricting growth. I was an unexplained low-weight baby.

I know someone who smoked through their pregnancy to ensure that they had a low weight baby to make birth easier

This used to be a thing in the sixties and seventies too. And you'll still encounter people like your friend who thinks smoking helps restrict growth in a no-harmful way,

Self-care and social change?! She is the WORST example of good self-care. And she causes so much fucking harm to others with her sensationalist descriptions of suicide and self harm, poverty, low-paid work and just about every fucking thing that ever happened to her

Ridiculous, weight of baby is almost no indication of how easy a birth will be, I fucking despair of people

They used to recommend it back in the day. My mum was born mid smoke by both my grandma and the midwife. Put their cigarettes down whilst she was coming out and picked them back up once she was here

Jack has posted a picture of a newborn SB in hospital still. Not disputing he was poorly, as he's hooked up to something, but he didn't look especially small.

Sadly she is pretty Jack like (and definitely not in my life in anyway now) so I doubt she even considered the impact it could have on the baby as she only ever thinks of herself.

Jack talking about self care?!?!
