It’s the same as that time she mentioned her friends suicide after she discovered this thread- she’s an attention seeking muppet.

It’s so wrong! Its really riled me. Bet she was loving all the comments coming in when her first concern should’ve been for her daughter! Just shows how important Instagram is to her 😤
Unthinkable to do that shame on you ainsl

She has over 500 comments and she has replied to them all how bloody sad you’ve had to post a pic of your sick child to get comments it’s totally disgusting it’s unfollow from me to

Love how she says in her caption “just a gentle reminder to always trust your mama instincts” oh thanks for the reminder hun. If my lifeless child flopped into my bedroom I’d carry on getting dressed and nip downstairs for a cuppa if you hadn’t have gently reminded me xxx

Yeah... usually your instincts prompt you to go and seek proper help before it gets to the point of collapse! I’m not saying that what happened could have been avoided, as I’m not sure it could have been, but 111. Really. What the heck....

I unfollowed her. I agree with the other's it's nothing to do with mother's instincts.

It just reminds of that story I read about a mother dropping her 10 month old child after trying to take a selfie on an escalator.

All this constant photo taking but at what cost?

I was totally shocked & then angry with what I saw yesterday. No mother in their right mind would think to take photos at a moment like that. Any mother that was truly shaken by what had happened wouldn’t sit down to compose a post & story for Instagram. To top it off, why choose today (when you should be giving all your thoughts & time to Olive) to sit & up your engagement.
The world of SM is a truly f up place. I really don’t want to live in a world where you’re thinking about taking photos of your poorly child in the back on an ambulance, or where you feel the need to tell the world & link it from your business page what’s been going on.
Overshare your kids, insta the f out of them. When they have NO choice & NO UNDERSTANDING of what is being done with/with them .... But hide yourself because you’re not happy with yourself.
Totally ridiculous. Absolutely & totally ridiculous behaviour.

I wonder if she’s made out it was slightly worse than it was purely for the engagement? But what she’s actually done is made herself look incredibly stupid. You’d be in blind panic if your child was lifeless. I’m not even sure how she managed to get back on the gram. I was in shock when it happened to me and all I wanted to do was be with my daughter!
The Pukka's have had a couple of emergencies with their daughters, and have posted about them, but always after the event when the child is on the mend and in a "raising awareness" manner. Ainsley has made herself look very stupid with her wording of this post. It should have been "Olive looked terrible, was completely lifeless, I was straight on the phone for an ambulance/I took her directly to A&E. Thank God for the NHS. Never hesitate when it comes to your kids". Not, "my mama instincts told me Olive might be sick, so I rang 111 and waited bloody ages when I could have immediately called an ambulance or taken her to hospital myself. Arent I a hero?".

This 👏🏼

Don’t think that it was coincidental that she posted it at 8pm last night- the optimum time for engagement on insta 🤦🏻‍♀️ She couldn’t have posted it this morning as it wouldn’t have got enough attention 🙄 All very carefully executed imo.

Just read through all these comments, and I can imagine for any of us that has had a sick child being rushed into A&E KNOW how triggering and upsetting it is, and brings back up our own dark days dealing with our babies different illnesses.

Wtf is wrong with her? When my 1 year old was in hospital, awfully sick with the flu, I took a picture to show my big brother and my MIL because they live far away from us, it was NEVER on social media. When he had chicken pox mixed in with this eczema, I took a picture to show my mum-in-law (again cause she lives far away from us) and told her it was an upsetting picture. These pictures were all taken from a really removed almost clinical viewpoint. They weren't to savour the bleeping moment, they were for me to document his progress.

Also, you say trust your mama instincts but at first you thought she was being clumsy? That isn't a mama instinct then.

Regardless, I hope her little one is on the mend and gets well soon, and happy that she didn't have to spend the night in the hospital.

How does she have the time to post the stories, make little cute things on it and tend to her two little ones? Why is that even factored in?

The dads just as bad posting the full photo of Olive in the ambulance.. what the hell is wrong with them both!! She obviously checks whats being said on here seeing as shes acted on and changed things that have been mentioned previously, so hopefully she sees these recent posts and has some sense knocked into her - pointless commenting on her post as it will be swiftly deleted and blocked.

Motherly instinct. You thought she had fell over and was tired. Not sick. If she was at deaths door, as Ainsley is making out you would call 999. Not 111. She was probably sick because she spent all day in the sun the day before without wearing a hat.

Olive being poorly has given her the perfect opportunity to gain peoples attention.

That it wasnt how he expected his Monday to have gone, getting a phone call at 9am saying she was unresponsive but is fine now after a day in hospital 🙄 wouldn't surprise me if Ainsley rang him first to tell him, then 111.

I have no doubt she'd have been panicking and worried like any mother, but it would be an instant 999 call if your kids lifeless. Theres no "mama instinct" about it, its common sense. For someone whose life revolves around Instagram, I can see why she'd post about it.. but why not use one of the lovely photos of Olive she has. Using the photo she has and then having the nerve to share it to her market page for a popular post is what's upsetting.

I thought this thread was quite mean before so steered clear of it even though Ainsley drives me mad. But what happened yesterday beggars belief. When I read her post, my immediate thoughts were... did she not check on the kids when she woke up? As she said olive came in when she was getting ready. I don’t know about anyone else, but as soon as I’m up and about, I check on the children. (If I’m lucky enough that they’re still asleep that is). If she’d have done this, she would’ve noticed that Olive was sweating etc. How long was she getting ready for before Olive stumbled in?! And the lack of 999 call for a lifeless toddler! The whole thing has really got to me and I’ve had to unfollow. And it’s absolute nonsense to harp on about ‘mamas instinct’, it’s not as if she was poorly, took her to the GP, the GP brushed it off and Ainsley still felt like it was an issue. So the mother’s instinct BS doesn’t even make sense. Ugh!

Putting your children on social media when you’re a small family with a private social media account is one thing. Putting your children on social media when they’re not at an age to have the opportunity to disagree with their parents posting bath-time and other sensitive photos on social media is another thing. Making money from posting sensitive private information about your your child /children is a new level of low.

When they get older and especially start secondary school privacy becomes more of a concern. Kids are cruel, we all wish they weren’t but they are. They’re all trying to find their place in the world, ideally in private. Her kids will start to feel embarressed by the content she post about them, especially when it comes to early childhood anecdotes, funny photos, and updates on developmental and behavioral challenges. It can become a breeding ground for bullying.

It’s difficult, if not impossible, to control information once it’s posted online. You can’t prevent anyone from taking a screenshot of your post and disseminating it beyond your reach. Your deleted posts, while apparently gone from your social media profile, may still live on in Internet archive websites and on the social media servers themselves. This thread will be read by them at some point in their lives. With that in mind, she should consider how her photos and stories may impact her children when they're much older, even an adult. Job interviews etc and the photos could get into the wrong hands, with complete strangers armed with knowing everything about you.

Sadly it’s been known for Photos and videos of children shared by their parents on social media sometimes turn up on disturbing websites and forums, some of them dedicated to child pornography. Extreme as it may sounds, it happens and This alone should make you STOP! Posts with information like location tags and landmarks give strangers as well as known aggressors the ability to locate a child and other family members.
