I’m trying them now, 1st labour was 4 hours so maybe it will be even quicker this time lol
I’m trying them now, 1st labour was 4 hours so maybe it will be even quicker this time lolI took one for the team and did the research on that at for my 3rd. Went into labour at 6pm Saturday night and had him at 3.20am Monday. Cervix had to be manually manipulated as it dilated unevenlydont think the dates worked
Literally came here to say thisShe’s done a scratch card advent calendar for Jim! That must have cost at LEAST £30! And it encourages wasteful gambling behaviour. Christ and she’s here preaching about how to save money. I despair!
Fml. Heaven forbid she actually ends up having any complications or the birth she doesn’t plan for!
After having an emergency section after 20 hours labour with my first and then an emergency section at 29 weeks when my daughter had stopped growing and was born at 1lb 13oz, it’s fuck all to do with spirituality bollocks and the power of birthing women.
Sometimes we need intervention and sometimes it can save fucking lives! She really boils my piss (soz for the potty mouth this morning)
If you research the history of births and breastfeeding it has been massively impacted by the patriarchy.Fml. Heaven forbid she actually ends up having any complications or the birth she doesn’t plan for!

From her other posts it’s quite clear she thinks that a bit of positivity, hypnobirthing and learning about your body can give the perfect birth. My post is basically saying that no amount of understanding physiology, spirituality, sacredness or a system “grounded in patriarchy” makes any difference to the interventions often required and she does a good job of trying to imply otherwise. I really really hope she gets the perfect birth she wants but she is so deluded it’s unreal.If you research the history of births and breastfeeding it has been massively impacted by the patriarchy.
I also had an emergency C section. So not sure how that discredits the quote.
Wow! That was a horrible midwife you had! I got offered one each week from 38 weeks. I said no to them all and every midwife I was speaking to said that's perfectly fine and my choice, that it's just something they offerI’m afraid I have to defend her slightly here, she’s not wrong on some things when it comes to saying no to doctors and midwives.
a very extreme example but does anyone remember the thalidomide incident of the 60’s? Thousands of babies were born deformed or dead because of a sickness tablet that was marketed as ‘safe’ for pregnant women to take. It was prescribed and recommended by doctors and known as the best thing ever. Unfortunately it was not.
Now I understand doctors most of the time do know best, and have had years of training but the movement feebs is behind is about asking questions and knowing all the pros and cons of any procedure before it is undertaken. What is right for someone else may not be right for you and could affect you in a different way
with my last pregnancy I had a midwife try and force me to have a sweep at 38 weeks because it was ‘policy’ even though there are risks associated with sweeps like introducing infection and breaking waters early. I refused and she basically shouted at me for 20 mins saying I was putting my babies life at risk and I had to have it done.
this lead me to read up on How birth is medicalised and it doesn’t always have to be. I’ve read the same books as her and what I took away from it is anything can happen, emergencies can and do happen but it’s how you plan for them and react to them which is important.
She does come across as very Preachy
that’s where she has misunderstood the purpose of the whole movement, no where in any of the books has it said ignore all medical advice, and if any of her followers do that then I would question their ability to be a responsible parent!Agreed there are horrendous HCPs out there but she’s previously suggested ignoring medical advice on the basis that you know what is best for you. *ignoring* as an “influencer” do you not think this is irresponsible. It’s one thing researching a variety of resources, forewarned is forearmed and all that but ignoring medical advice?
honest to god she was awful. I was hysterical after my appointment. She was also saying all the measurement scans they did were incorrect and my baby was in danger if she didn’t perform a sweep.Wow! That was a horrible midwife you had! I got offered one each week from 38 weeks. I said no to them all and every midwife I was speaking to said that's perfectly fine and my choice, that it's just something they offer
This really gets on my goat! Trying to make other women feel like they didn’t do enough or it was their faults if they ended up with a c section. I ended up with 2 and neither of them planned! But that’s obviously because I didn’t try hard enough!!Fml. Heaven forbid she actually ends up having any complications or the birth she doesn’t plan for!
