I’m hugely rolling my eyes at having a film crew there during a pandemic, and I think it’s a majorly questionable thing to do with a newborn in the house, but it hasn’t changed my mind that she was right to take the little one to A&E for her infection. It’s just not worth the risk, and as she said in her post another mum saw it and got medical attention for her little one so it’s helped at least one person.
Definitely, she did the right thing. I’m presuming all the crew would have been tested but yeah I can see how it looks. Gotta pay those bills I guess!
I think there should be some sort of law that stops them being exploited, they can't even give consent they are too young. Not necessarily Kate but there are some influencers out there currently who are literally selling their baby's souls to make money and it's sick!
Me too, I remember feeling very alone, even though I was surrounded by people. I had very dark thoughts and it was not a nice time. I feel that side of things doesn’t get talked about enough. Thankfully I made it out the other side and I absolutely love the age my son is now, but I really struggled in those weeks.
It can be a very difficult time and not enough women admit that.
I felt v alone too, I felt SO guilty for missing my old life as much as I did. If people admitted it is ok to miss your old life, to grieve the birth you hoped for but didn't get and to not feel overwhelmed with love from the get go, I think people may not feel as bad or get as depressed. I know a lot of it is the hormone crash, but a lot of mine was situational too.
Definitely!! I try be quote vocal to friends abouthow comming PND actually is.
I don’t think anything can prepare you for quite how life changing (literally in an instant) becoming a mum is. I looked after my nieces and nephews from birth ( for years, all day, from 8am till 7pm mon-fri) and thought I was well prepared for my own. I was very wrong. The actual mechanics of looking after a baby were the same, but it was completely different feeling altogether.
