Love this ! agree with everything you have saidLong time lurker.
First time commenter!
I’ve tried not to comment for months well because of my job but tonight’s comments on her stories have fucked me off something rotten.
qualified MW here and her comments and her fuck all knowledge on midwifery piss me right off. Midwives don’t just spend 3 years at university then a following 12-24 months on a preceptorship for some one who’s read a few books and given birth once preach about an evidence based degree that she knows fuck all about.
You go ahead hen and eat your dates and have your perineal massage and hypnobirth and don’t listen to your midwife because of course feebs knows best. You can plan all you want for your perfect birth and I’m so happy you got it the last time but stop trying to lure other women into a false sense of security that there birth will be plain sailing because who’s the woman going to blaim when your stupid obnoxious recommendations go wrong and she ends up with failure to progress and a cat 2 section and maybe piles for good measure.
Not you, but her midwife.
You stupid fucking arse.
Glad that’s off my chest
Also i just want to point out that I am in total support and advocate for women and it’s there birth, their choice and informed consent is so important, but there are evidence based guidelines and procedures we follow to the core to prevent maternal mortality for a reason.
Most of the vibes that I get from her posts is, please ignore all medical advice given because it’s your baby your birth and listen to moi because I am the font of all knowledge and of course have a medical degree in PREACH. It’s so dangerous and I would never in any circumstances listen to a ‘SW consultant’ on the gram.
Think I have over done it in comments tonight, I apologise.

I had exactly the same!I tried messaging her about all this birth stuff once. She had posted about a podcast that discusses birth trauma and how she thought it would be helpful. She was then confused when some of her followers didn’t react well to this.
I tried explaining that her relentless positive birth chat wasn’t really conducive to discussing trauma and offering suggestions of what those who have suffered it might find helpful.
I didn’t get a reply
I’m sorry but you cannot consistently exclude a group of women, bang on about how negative birth stories aren’t to be listened to - and then see it your place to discuss those women’s experiences. GO AWAY.
I’m so sorry your births didn’t go to plan. If it helps mine didn’t either and I knew everything like the back of my hand.Can I just thank you so much for this! Neither of my births went to plan.
My first was a cat 1 section, it was unbelievablely traumatic as a 25 year old, fit as a fiddle FTM. Nothing in my pregnancy had indicated this would happen. I hadn’t even had a dodgy blood test. But my daughters heart stopped beating. No amount of hypnobirthing would have rectified that. The first year of her life was spent in a PTSD haze, constantly reading the absolute tripe the likes of feebs post left me unable to leave the house. I was convinced it was all my fault.
My second, I thought I’d give the hypnobirthing a go. Did it work? Did it fuck. The trauma was far, far too engrained. I had another section. But I was awake and I saw my baby be born and that was really all I wanted.
I ate billions of dates, they had no effect whatsoever. Oh no tell a lie, the eased the pregnancy constipation a treat
I really wish she would stop this. It’s so dangerous and like you said, puts ALL the blame on women when their birth isn’t the dream come true they expected.
SameStill don’t get how she’s only 4 years older than me. She looks old enough to be my mother.
How old is sheStill don’t get how she’s only 4 years older than me. She looks old enough to be my mother.
she's 35How has she only gained 4.5 LB this pregnancy I don’t believe it
How old is she
I thought her face looked slimmer the other day compared to previously so I scrolled back and she does look a bit slimmer, but just had an added bump. If she keeps up the low weight gain she will probably be lighter after she's given birth than before she got pregnant.How has she only gained 4.5 LB this pregnancy I don’t believe it
I thought so too with recent photos she's posted. Especially the one the other dayI thought her face looked slimmer the other day compared to previously so I scrolled back and she does look a bit slimmer, but just had an added bump. If she keeps up the low weight gain she will probably be lighter after she's given birth than before she got pregnant.
