The reason I’m here on Tattle and follow Lauren’s threads is because I actually am a fan of hers. I’ve just been frustrated at times with what she chooses to do/say/act and I just wished she would do things differently because I wanted her to succeed and do better with her life, career etc. I’ve been going through my pregnancy at the same time as her and I’m currently being induced due to a big baby- I’ve taken the piss a couple of times for what she has decided to wear, or the times she has been complaining about things in her latest pregnancy but I have never felt it was right to say any more than that. There have been some comments from others in here that I feel have been way too harsh- I like to think that a bit of friendly banter is fine (no more than you’d expect from your friends taking the piss out of you for example) but regardless of what people have said, I’m sure no one would ever wish or imagine for this to happen. I hope that like me, everyone’s comments have actually come from a place of affection for her. We wouldn’t spend our time on here if we didn’t have an element of caring about her (or at least, I hope so!).
My induction is not going well and I’ve been sent home to rest before having a c section. I’m petrified especially after seeing the news so I’m going to be off here for a while and avoiding social media too. Lauren, if you do ever read this thread (which to be honest I hope you don’t as you’d be better off away from here, surrounded by the lovely of your family and friends) then please remember that a lot of us care about you, always have, and I cannot for the life of me begin to imagine a small granule of how you’re feeling right now. It goes against the laws of nature to lose your child and grief does change you. Be kind to yourself and grieve however you need to.
I hope out of respect for Lauren, no one judges how she decides to grieve through this. There is no right or wrong way and nobody has a right to an opinion on how she should handle it xxx
