The first few weeks are kinda easy if baby is good. The sleep deprivation hasnt set in and Sam seems to be on leave. Shes insufferably smug and any chance she gets shes posting herself in colourful outfits. Shut off the phone and enjoy your wonderful life with your newborn.

The smug birth posts are pissing me off so I’ve unfollowed. I always planned to unfollow after the baby name reveal but now I’ve definitely had enough

I had a wonderful pregnancy and birth and acknowledge that I was very lucky. I specifically remember sitting in a pub garden with my husband when baby was 1 week old and saying to each other that we've got really lucky and we're bossing this. Then a few days later the low hit, baby stopped sleeping, developed colic, and it took me a good 9 months to feel like I wasn't depressed. And yes Meg, I had intrusive thoughts of throwing my baby down the stairs!

Hopefully this doesn't happen to Meg, but I do thing you need to be cognisant that this is very early days and you're still riding high on the birth hormones. I also think it's only fair to acknowledge what an element of luck plays into your birth experience. You can do everything Meg did, and end up with an emergency c section. Birth is not a competition and trying hard does not always lead to the best outcome.

The smugness is unbearable. I get that pregnancy advice can be very annoying and unsolicited too but imagine you’re the person who has given some well meaning advice on her post a few days ago, only trying to be helpful, and she’s stuck it on her top to take the p*ss out of you today. She was moaning so much last week which is why everyone was commenting advice. It feels like she’s trying to so hard to be pregnant differently to everyone else, obviously in a better way than every other woman who has done it before

Honestly same. Talking about her first week with a newborn as ‘magical’ yes there are magical moments but it’s so unrealistic and not good for other new mothers to see. Face full of makeup, hair done etc going on a solo trip out 1 week postpartum gloating about it on social media im so disappointed

Newborns lead you to a false sense of security, then the fussy phase hits.. I mean fairplay if she genuinely is finding it easy and amazing, but I remember week 6-8 humbled me

She’s become insufferable so I have unfollowed. She’s a far cry from her early days of influencing. The irony of posting constantly about her bump daily and now getting annoyed at the very people that pay for her lifestyle - what does she expect? If nobody asked her she’d probably make a post about that too. She needs a reality check. It’s a shame as she used to be far more relatable.

I agree with this. Everything she posts is just entirely insufferable. I’m planning to unfollow but I’m hanging in there because I wanted to see what ridiculous name she chooses for her baby

 

[Hypnotizedchicken]

I feel for anyone struggling with fertility that follows meg, she wasnt even sure she wanted kids and now she's popped one out and everything is perfect

 

[Anotherct]

She’s pissing me off now. This is not reality for most mums. Especially the spending! The majority are struggling to pay their mortgage on maternity pay. Granted this again is not her problem but she’s doing my head in

 

[Loplik44]

I know everyone is different (and I’m not aiming this at anyone if they have done the same) but even if you felt amazing during that first week I can’t understand the rush to go out and about every single day for coffee and cake dates.. everything she done in the last few weeks waiting for baby. Why not just switch off and enjoy that first magical week as a family of three getting to grips with baby and just savouring the moment!

 

[Sure. name changed]

So relatable that her ‘to buy list’ is a holiday to Bali. Mine was breast pumps, nipple shields and bum cream.

 

[Tell.A.Tale]

Her latest “unhinged baby purchase” has sent me over the edge. She’s embarrassing. First says she was on Vinted looking for a baby bag but then clarifies this to “looking for a bag big enough for the baby stuff” - because you know she’s not really into this pregnancy and wants to continue to spend stuff on herself rather than admit to buying anything for the baby -

Then pulls out a tiny (so not big at all) Miu Miu bag and puts 1 nappy, 1 pack of wipes and 1 baby grow in it.

“Miu Miu for the baby”

Honestly I’m cringing so hard. She is totally delusional about babies and how much stuff they need every time you even leave the house for 5 minutes.

And this might be her most unrelateable content ever. New mum’s aren’t buying Miu Miu for their nappies and wipes and the child free / designer bag type followers will be thinking “wait what?”

I’m hanging around for the baby name and then I’m out. She is insufferable now.

 

[milmilmilmil]

That entire rant on her story about how hard her 'job' is and she overbooks herself.... actually fuck off. I've just unfollowed after that, can't stand the woe is me attitude whilst being in such a privileged position

 

[Carnations & Corner Baths]

I don’t follow her anymore but am lolling so hard that all she thinks she’ll need is ONE nappy and some wipes. reality check incoming soon…

 

[leelaloola]

I came across this photo of her, apparently only 7 years ago but it’s amazing what marrying a doctor does

 

[kingfisher100]

She hasn’t bought any maternity clothes don’t you know (please ignore the £100s worth of beyond nine stuff she’s been gifted)

 

[Loplik44]

God forbid months down the line when she actually needs advice on something for baby people won’t want to give their opinion with how horrible she is being about it now.

 

[Tell.A.Tale]

She’s going to be insufferable. I’ll bet she’ll go on about having a magical birth and constantly have the baby out in the Artipoppe while she sips on Aperol. She’s going to be so predictable with all of it.

 

[Cherrypie32]

And now nights are a doddle, c’mon Meg give new mums a break some of them could be feeling pretty crap they’re not living the motherhood dream.

 

[pommobear]

I think this woman is in for a very swift dose of reality when that baby comes.

Unless she's one of the lucky ones that gets a unicorn baby that sleeps all night and never cries.

Even when you have one of those I don't think it's possible to comprehend the absolute seismic shift involved in becoming a mother. Maybe if you're very thick skinned it isn't like this but for me the person I was before was gone forever.
