Not at any point has she said that if baby or mother is in danger to refuse an induction. she has said a mother has the right to refuse an induction when it is being suggested with no medical reason behind it.
people might disagree with me here but hospitals do induce when not necessary. Just have a google of the statistics 🙄 I know from first hand experience they do
Consultants/Doctors shouldn’t induce unless there is a medical reason to, or it’s the case of that at my trust.

Women do have the choice and can say no to a IOL if it’s for post dates, providing they are low risk.

Yeah which I 100% agree to induction to protect mum and baby, pre eclampsia is life threatening and Can happens so quick. Sorry you went through that then induction.

For people just wanting to be induced to meet their baby early is absolutely ridiculous.
Since it can kill mother and baby, induction is the best plan for pre-eclampsia but if I had a regular healthy pregnancy and I went over, I would not want an induction. I had a horrible pregnancy from the start.

Based on the podcasts she’s been sharing (deliciously Ella’s perfect home birth) Bet she’s dying for a home birth but has probably been told it’s not allowed down to BMI

I wouldn’t slate anybody for how they feed their child...what I do slate her for is the holier than thou attitude to parenting. When she had Vesper, all she did was preach about what she was doing & how it was so easy & her way was the best way. So for someone like me who struggled to breastfeed, I switched to formula (my own choice, even went against midwife/health visitor!), it can maybe make you feel like you are failing your child in a way? If that makes sense? As I said...fed is best, weather that’s formula fed or breast fed 😊
She seems dead set against formula.
 
Feebs seems hell bent on trying to prove a point one way or another. She just wants to be right and declare herself as an expert in childbirth. I'm surprised with her confidence that she hasn't insisted on a home birth, but even she must know better than to risk that.
I could just imagine her becoming a doula.

I prefer the money saving tips to the hypo birthing and breastfeeding! Not many slimming world tips these days...
I understand if she wants to do hello fresh ads (she is money saving of course!) but at least mention it in the context of Slimming World, since that’s what a lot of people follow you for...
 
She has no medical qualifications and that’s what’s dangerous. She has nothing other than her own carefully quoted research.

There isn’t a one size fits all approach to pregnancy and childbirth and we should be able to make our own informed decisions of which most of us are capable but what about vulnerable or impressionable women who look up to these people and think because they’ve said it it must be ok to do so?
Yes I agree that’s the dangerous part. In all the books that she has shown on her stories tells you to do your own research and then decide on what’s best for you, just like any Dula would do. Not just decide to do something because it’s ‘trendy’ or because someone else is doing it.
I have to admit she has helped me a lot with her stories as it’s triggered me to do my own research and decide what’s best for me.
Women in pregnancy are definitely more impressionable as they’re full of hormones and emotions so are more likely to go along with what ever doctors tell them to do! So in some ways she is helping but she needs to change the way is doing it!

I think she is too optimistic to a fault, with hypnobirthing you have to imagine nothing will go wrong, and you’re more than capable of doing everything yourself without help from the doctors, but you do have to think and plan for things to go wrong at some point

Has she said why they are having trouble with feeding? Has he got a bad latch or a tongue tie?
With my first I desperately didn’t want to give a bottle and after a few weeks discovered my daughter had a tongue tie! Once we got that cut it improved almost immediately. Just makes me wonder as Solomon was going on about how Rex had a posterior tongue tie that didn’t get picked up by all the millions of specialists she saw (which I don’t get?!) so is that Herbies issue... 🤔

regardless of whether the dentist will see them you still need to brush their teeth.... that’s common sense. The only reason some dentists won’t see them is because the kids won’t open their kouth for them to see anything, doesn’t mean they are not susceptible to poor dental health 😂
Well yes. That part is pretty obvious 😂

I think maybe the dentist thing varies by area? My eldest child went when she was 2 and that was the age the dentist said to bring her for the first time.

When we moved was told to bring my youngest when her teeth started coming through so she went at around 1.

They don’t do much when they are younger though think its more to get them used to the experience of going to the dentist.
Yeah I think it does too. My friend lives an hour from me and they take them on when their teeth start coming through!
