I’ve brought nothing except their books. I brought FOD book hardback and audio and I‘ve brought gi fletcher happy mum.. hardback, digital and audio. I’ve also brought all of the kids books by Tom fletcher in all formats. It’s annoys me everyday. Didn’t however buy anything that clemmie had a hand in book wise, for no reason other than I haven’t been pregnant while knowing about her.Proud to say I bought none of their tat. None of it!
But I have met several of this lot in real life and am and always have been extremely unimpressed by them.
Some more highly original, irreverent and not at all trite content from our favourite comedian.
Hey Anna is that you?? My personal view is that selling mental health interventions online via Insta is shady practice. Often those purchasing these 'services' are vulnerable and without lengthy consultation how can any health care worker know if the service on sale will be appropriate. Surely the whole mod thing has made it clear that health care professionals need to be very very careful about offering services and advice online. Or profiting from their experience in a non regulated way.I haven’t noticed her doing that much #ad #paidpartnership #freebie stuff. Admittedly I haven’t looked at her account much recently so I will look again and happy to be proven wrong.
I don’t see an issue in her selling her work online but I don’t know what the rules are for psychotherapists. I believe they aren’t as regulated as doctors for example but don’t have enough experience with psychotherapists.
My own experience is with another healthcare profession and they would be advised to keep their professional and personal online prescence separate. That’s not to say they can’t use it for work - they can and I think their governing body has quite purposefully not ruled it out as it is was a bit of an unknown entity before, not so much now as more in that profession are using things such as social media, Skype, e.t.c...for their work
I personally see no problem with Anna Mathur monetising her Instagram account providing it’s not going against her governing bodies code of conduct. After all, most psychotherapy is private in the UK and if anything, she is making it more affordable. But it does muddy the waters when you combine the two.
You might have an issue with someone selling healthcare services in general and that’s a separate matter. But when it can be bought privately offline (which most forms of healthcare can be), it can happen online and actually when it’s online it can make it cheaper. It’s about how it’s done that’s important.
As an aside as it isn’t traditional healthcare but I bought the Posotive Birth Company’s hypnobirthing digital pack before the birth of my second. It was the single best £30 I’ve spent. It made the world of difference to my labour where traditional pain relief had completely failed for the birth of my first. I wanted to do a face to face course but we would moving house at the time meaning practically and financially it wasn’t possible. The digital pack made it possible for me.
Absolutely they need to be very careful and that’s why there is guidance on it from medical bodies and the regulators. But ultimately If they aren’t breaking the guidelines and it opens the services up to others then they aren’t doing anything legally wrong even if you think morally it is.Hey Anna is that you??

And this is why these InstaScums need to be called into account. New Mums are very suggestible when it comes to giving their baby the best. New Mums are often isolated and overwhelmed. But, honestly you cannot BUY an item that will make you feel less isolated. A rug can never make you feel that you belong. An overpriced sparkly jumper doesn't have the power to stop you feeling overwhelmed. They just don't.Exactly, personally I bought the rug when I was 7 months pregnant, super overwhelmed with a house renovation (nothing like the MOFODS, my house was a total dump!!) and I wanted my house to look like all those lovely Instagram houses but I couldn’t afford F&B paint or super expensive wall paper. But I could afford the rug (it was 40%off). It made me fell about better about the chaos in my life, becaus they had it too and they seemed to be coping. Then I realised that they prob didn’t buy the rug, or the paint or the wall paper and they didn’t spend their nights ripping out carpets or painting walls like the rest of us. They had people doing all of that (for free and discounted!) and it was all a lie.
And the rug looked lovely if I’m honest but we spend a lot of time in the living (I don’t have a grown up living room/zen room, so we are all crammed in here!) and it doesn’t go well with heavy foot traffic or babies with reflux or weaning. White rug + small children = massive no!!
That rug does absolutely nothing for me. I must be immune. Yay!!This one
He was gifted the phones as he admitted to having more than one pixel?Never got duped.... but I have a few things that FOD got gifted
Weber BBQ...... all our sofas are from sofa.com ( I do love them) this pisses me off to the max as I need to buy a couple more pieces.
I may write them a snotty mail.
All that Android tech shit he's got gifted he can keep.... I'm Apple to the core!
He said the other day a photo was taken using the pixel 3, then for some silly reason went on to say he's been sent the pixel 4 but hasn't got round to using it.He was gifted the phones as he admitted to having more than one pixel?
That rug, the ‘tiba & Marl’ backpack, the ‘yes mum’ cards, the ‘scamp and dude’, the ‘bright company’ PJs, they all don’t do anything for the majority of people when you just see a photo out of the blue of the product like this with no priming!That rug does absolutely nothing for me. I must be immune. Yay!!
Brilliant!Instagram has become the new QVCI remember all the overpriced crap I bought from there before Instagram.... #imatotalsucker
I think the it’s when you follow one of them the others appear out of nowhere! I started harmlessly following a very lovely midwife (midwifeyhooper) who was expecting twins. Had no idea it was Queen of The Gifted Shit who begged for her entire house and was actually being paid to influence me to buy shit. At the time it took off and MOFOD were born, I was particularly vulnerable and receptive, with new baby and struggling with some major life events.Someone said above that it was hard to avoid the selling if you were on Instagram. I disagree. I have been on Instagram for a long time and follow a myriad of people from friends and family to science and cooking people, have never come across one of these sellers.
Same here, until I fell pregnant and there is definitely a sense of vulnerability. At home, not working, not seeing your friends as much. The internet becomes your friend and you do become more easily influenced by these online 'mates'Someone said above that it was hard to avoid the selling if you were on Instagram. I disagree.

Someone told me today that at the seminars where they teach such selling they describe “harvesting” their followers.
That is awful.
My mum said my brother basically shot out and was caught by the midwife as she walked through the door to see how dilated she was. Haha. Third babies don't hang around.Third babies can be very speedy.
Me either. It's gross.That rug does absolutely nothing for me. I must be immune. Yay!!
I’ve got one of those MAMA jumpers. To be fair my husband bought it, not me.If it makes anyone feel better I’ve got a strong girls club T-shirt and a scamp and dude jumper!! No rug though!
