Joanne Larby #11 gifted a baby from Adam's spunk, now on the beg for free baby junk

[I got up at 5am]

Can we keep the personal pregnancy stuff off this thread please. It’s annoying wading through 50 posts on who is pregnant at what age.

 

[lalakala]

thanks to @dotiedot for the thread suggestion.

a brief recap: jojo managed to manifest a child, showing a "baby bump" in the first trimester, exhaustively describing her love of morning sickness, and finally admitting that the bump is more of a bloat. she's back at her old tricks though - asking and answering question boxes herself, coming on for the "chats" to explain how she plans of course on getting married (yet is not engaged...) and wants the baby at the wedding. with a huge smile on herface she declared she knows pregnancy content isn't for anyone. anyone who answered 'no' to her question about wanting to see baby content was BLOCKED on instagram - a bold choice for someone with the same number of followers as she had 5 years ago.
She's also delighted everyone else is getting vaccinated because it means madam can join her for scans, but she's had no mention of the vaccine herself so it seems clear to us here she's an anti-vaxxer... she did like AOL's posts after all.
In other news, she's been accused now of photoshopping her baby bloat belly with weird streaks on the toilet behind her in her mirror selfie, and continues to use the darker skinned emoji despite being a fully white woman who likes to use a lot of tan and has a lot of sun spots.
the car partnership #BA still seems to be fishy, with the odd picture of a car door or a steering wheel. she's not a very good brand ambassador...
and finally, she's asked everyone to vote for her home page in some award category for instagram. we've decided to vote for another lovely blogger who doesn't use the primary blogging tactic of lying and photoshop.

have a lovely day xx

*ETA: yes, she said she manifested the baby. she also described the baby as an exciting project, and she has such an *advanced* baby that's better than all the other babies that she's been fleeing 'kicks' and 'flutters' since the first trimester
**PPS: my work is babies so I'm here waiting for her to make claims that could mislead other women more than she already has.

Those were the days when she used to photoshop her neck to giraffe like proportions! Does anyone remember the photo where she was standing in a high neck dress in front of a wonky door looking like she was a size 6 and 8 ft tall, 2ft of that was neck. Ahh I never thought I’d miss those days but I have to say she was less insufferable then than she is now she’s pregnant.

I’ve found this delight

 

[Suzeywoozey]

What’s she going to be posting by the last trimester - their first school uniform?! It’s gone past ridiculous at this stage.

"We lived in an apartment when we had Storm"

Has she ever shared her birth plan from when she "had Storm"?
Fucking lunatic!
Edited to add, they're letting the dog sleep in the baby's room to "get her used to the smell of the child's stuff". I'm sorry but is that not beyond stupid considering the baby hasn't even arrived yet, so none of the stuff smells like the baby?! And presumably everything will need to be washed before use, particularly seeing as it's all been gathering dust for months, not to mention dog slobber and hair now?!

I have to say that while I think she is insufferable, I dont think she should feel the need to hold back her excitement before her 20 week scan. Even if things don't go the way she hoped, at least she will have celebrated and enjoyed her baby regardless. The baby doesn't become any less important if there is something wrong at the 20 weeks scan.

Maybe I am misunderstanding, but I suppose its even that whole dont tell anyone until ur past 12 weeks. I often wonder what is the reason, is there stil stigma and shame associated with miscarriage or not having a perfect pregnancy?

Just to give the perspective on this (and not at all in a confrontational way) as a person who unfortunately experienced a missed miscarriage. I have been really open with people with the miscarriage and actively try not to feed into any stigma and definitely feel like it’s not talked about because people just don’t know what to say if you’ve lost a pregnancy. I guess for me I would have found it very difficult to cope if I had gone ahead and bought things for baby before I found out. As utterly heartbreaking as I found the experience it would have (for me, not speaking on behalf of everyone) been more difficult to have had to come home from surgery for the MC to baby clothes ready or toys etc. So I guess it’s a protective thing. I had a family member who experienced MC and still birth and she always advised us female family members not to buy anything too soon and in the end I’m glad I took her advice but it’s very personal. In relation to telling people again in our experience we hadn’t told many people we were expecting because I was conscious of having to tell lots of people if something went wrong and would that make things worse. In the end we told all our friends about the MC even though they didn’t know I was pregnant to begin with and we got great support. In terms of the 20wk scan there can be (not always) a period of coming to terms with an unexpected diagnosis that for some women is like a grief for the child you thought/imagined you might have which again might be more difficult to come to terms with if you are surrounded with baby things but obviously not the case for everyone and I definitely would feel that having a child with a disability should be celebrated in the same way as a typically developing child&I say this as a person with family experience of this too
This is no way meant to be an argumentative post I just thought I’d give the perspective of someone who has been through a loss and why maybe there’s a reluctance to celebrate too early which I feel is probably more of a self preservation thing than a stigma but again it’s very personal x

oh look Larby is in one of the least vaccinated age group with the rest of the selfish entitled, socially irresponsible peers my age

Seriously? I’m the same age as her, unvaccinated and pregnant and I am not “selfish entitled or socially irresponsible” Joanne maybe a dose but there is absolutely no need to comment on peoples choices in regards to taking the vaccine. In her defence, she is never really around many people and I’m sure she can limit her contacts for the remainder of her pregnancy.

Awh lads... I hate to say it as I know it's horrible if you are a new mam but by lord she is in for a rude awakening. I'm an ivf mammy so I really do know my babies are Miracles (so I feel extra guilty when I find things tough). But it is so fucking hard.

I locked myself in bathroom to get away form them earlier. I have sat down about 50 times today only to get up straight away to get food, wipe an ass, clean a mess.

I literally if I'm lucky get an hour a day to myself and that is to do stuff for me. A hobby, or chat to husband. Usually I just sit in silence.

As I said I hate saying it to those who don't have kids but lower your standards ans throw out all your ideals out the window.

Oh and the best advice I got was from my boss who had four boys. While everyone was telling me it's amazing and great, she was the only one to take me aside and say look after yourself, take help, it's really tough. Go easy on yourself. That's the advice you want to hear, not the bullshit that it is amazing because it's tough!

It was a fairly big plum at 12 weeks too , but sure what would you expect.. Joanne grows massive veg in her plot anyway , she's an expert

This is the prenatal vitamin she's been taking

 

[not_influenced]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd back to Joanne..... Plenty of pregnancy and c section threads on everymum.com

 

[gayformoleman]

Photo didn’t attach

Hes dressed like a cult leader

 

[Bluewolf]

Mom of 5 here.

nothing. LITERALLY nothing like a newborn baby to wipe the SMUG from her.

 

[MiamooMoo]

Suggestion

Just like Super Nanny, even though she’s not yet a mammy. She’s up the duff, rubbing her muff, Joanne honestly just shut the f**k up.

 

[ny_style]

The thing is, Joanne’s baby could be a screaming, colicky, 24/7 feeding monster yet she’ll only share the sepia toned cuddle pictures.
She could have raging mastitis, burst stitches (despite the perineal massage, yeah see how that goes) urinary incontinence, hair loss, anaemia, thyroid issues, postpartum anxiety or depression, insomnia and murderous night sweats … but she will never, ever be honest.

 

[xoxogossip_girl]

The bump must be hiding today

Love that she has sunglasses on inside but not a mask. Common sense in abundance.

 

[Canyouactuallycope]

Joanne come back to me when you backpack through South America, Aus, NZ and Asia while sleeping in hostels and even the odd hammock!! Marbs and Beefa don't count hun!

Remember the year she became obsessive about the amount of flight's she took and loved to say she was practically living out of a suitcase the travel was so hectic. She went to Dubai and Italy in the same year and thought she was Christopher Columbus, and I wouldn't mind, they were short hops for weddings they were attending. She is such a weirdo, such an obsessive personality and gets really smug and preachy about whatever her latest obsession is.

 

[brighteyes001]

She is a BALLOON.

Travelling with a baby - honestly. We did a staycation this year cos of Covid and our baby goes down for the night around 7.30pm - sharing a hotel room with a baby meant putting her down and us 2 sitting in the bathroom (me sitting on the toilet seat, him on a chair from the room) eating a takeaway pizza, watching Love Island on a phone and drinking wine. Was actually class craic but it's not bloody glamorous like she will make out. iT'S REAL LIFE.

Also this week I heard awful news - a colleague lost her baby at 22 weeks This is why I can't abide all of this nursery/clothes/wardrobe shite at this stage. You never know what can happen. She is getting way too ahead of herself.
