1.3 litres, that's a massive blood loss. Wouldn't you need a blood transfusion for this? ( Please correct me if I'm wrong).
In some cases that would need a transfusion - but it’s hard to say for sure if it was needed in her case because it’s related to the volume of blood in that persons body. It’s different for each person

also depends on if the bleeding is active
I will say a blood loss of 1.3 litres for pretty routine birth is bad. I just read here that she said she had a transfusion.
@emmauptheduffy a bit unrelated (apologies people) but do you think there are a lot of narcs who do this online/influencer/YouTube thing like Melanie? I’ve always wondered about the correlation between influencers and mental health issues like PD’s etc. How people can chat endlessly about their lives to a camera/the world and find it fulfilling is a weird concept to me.
sorry to go slightly off track!! Yes, it is quite a natural thing for a narc to take to. It’s an entire life they can fashion, from scratch, and portray literally anything they want. It is their ideal mask, one they don’t have to put as much effort into as they would do if they were trying this in their real lives, and one they get incessant validation for. I couldn’t imagine sitting in front of the camera, chatting some shite about nothing, and then putting it out for whoever to watch. The concept makes me uncomfortable, and I literally get bored listening to myself think let alone doing that for my work.
You will find narcissists anywhere though, but for sure a whole lot of narcs are influencers/reality tv-esque people. I believe Mel wouldn’t have started this channel if she didn’t see the validation and attention it was giving people who she supposed (in her narc brain) were her peers.
Her only USP was being Irish in the age of British Vloggers and blagged her way (with a little help from fake GG accounts) to the level of attention she craved. Also, she just got “lucky”. There are plenty of narcs who are very active in social media in this performative way that don’t have any kind of following.
Important though to make a distinction between someone who is narcissistic (still has and uses empathy) and some who has NPD (narcissistic personality disorder). And NPD, though far more than people think is not totally rampant
