Im not shocked at all as her mother is clueless. { For various reasons }
I'm not shocked at all. My kids go to a pretty 'well to do' school, and honestly most of the wealthy middle class parents there are the BIGGEST bleeping drips with zero common sense or life skills.

They've always looked down on me for being working class. Them or their partners are all CEOs, doctors, solicitors, consultants. But my god I've been shocked by some of the ridiculous and dangerous tit they've done with their kids. Losing their kids repeatedly in public places (sometimes not even realising because they were too busy 'socialising'), them ending up in hospital because they were left alone and ending up drinking or eating something poisoness that they just left lying around, their toddlers getting into their wine collection. They are bleeping CLUELESS for a bunch of toffs.

Jesus, I've had enought balls ups with my kids. I'm not judging. We all make mistakes and take our eye off the ball. But you know damn well Grabby (and the school toffs) would have one of her 'very strong opinions' if it was a working class parent who's kid had been injured rummaging through the bloody bin. I can just imagine the stuck up tweet now...

She's so bleeping irresponsible. Her blog post could really worry others as she mentions having nausea is a sign of pregnancy hormones being strong. This is not a widely proved theory AFAIK and is the reason why so many people who may not have nausea symptoms get really bad anxiety. She's a self-centred fick head.

I've just re-read the blog...for reasons unknown to me..but she has edited it to say this isn't scientifically proven.

Hi Grabby!

Imagine being this obsessed with yourself that you spend all day reading on here. No wonder she's miserable 🤣

Well done for getting that changed though! I know it was one of my massive insecurities and all of the googling was not helpful.

Oh cool I influenced an 'influencer' 😂 on a serious note she needs to think before she writes and at least fact check before posting. My symptoms didn't really start until 7 weeks onwards and reading stuff like that before then was horrible. The truth is the reasons behind why some people get morning sickness and some don't is largely unknown.

Hello. I’m not too sure what to say, or if I’ll even press post, but I just want to rant. I used to follow RVK, initially interested in her home reno project, but slowly and surely her ignorance and crassness was too much for me and I unfollowed.
Early 2020 my husband and I started trying for a baby. As the eldest of my siblings, and not many parent friends yet, I was interested and grateful to see her blogs regarding her trying to conceive journey.
I sucked it {alllll} up. Picked up the vits from Wholefoods, followed her advise and felt totally ready!
Honestly - it was the worst thing I could have read.
The vitamins made me ill, her panicked comments about not conceiving straight away made me think I too should be worrying about this, I got stressed and couldn’t help feeling awful once I passed that 4 month mark.
I replied to her story once, when she was flogging the vits on her stories again - told her she needed to be careful what she was ‘swearing by’ as I followed her advice and ended up needing to see a dr. She didn’t bother coming back to me.

I’m a year in ttc now, last month I had a chemical pregnancy - it was a blessing to get such a glimmer of hope - and in all honesty it happened the month I chilled completely and ditched the ovulation sticks etc.

Seeing her new blog post just now {which I gave up reading?!} made me angry. For all those girls reading thinking that it will happen so easily for them! She is so tone death. She’s literally encouraging you to buy (aff) the ovulation sticks that she swears by. She’s making money out of a subject she has no right nor qualifications to do so.

She’s gloating. She’s so pleased with herself. She’s pleased with the speed, she’s pleased with her announcement picture (imagine finding out you’re having a grandchild over a WhatsApp picture, nice.)
But despite all of this, and how angry her attitude makes me, I honestly truly pity her. She’s so desperately competitive with herself. She says the baby is planned, then she says they ideally wanted a 2-3 gap, then she says she wanted to see if it could happen. ...is she having this baby because she was ready and wanted another, or because she was worried about it happening for her?
Either way, we all know she clearly does not have the mental capacity to cope with 2 young babies, I hope she does, but honestly, I think we all know we’re watching a car crash in slow mo. Pilates in NYC can’t help you now darling!

I cant get over a woman in her 20s being so utterly uptight over ttc. Why the duck would you be using ovulation tests etc that early on? Just shag shag and shag some more and it will eventually happen. I understand people using them who have been trying for months or years and really need to pinpoint that hormone fluctuation but grabby just has to sick the joy out of everything and even baby making has to be reduced to soul less clinical faffing.

Unless you are aiming to try for a particular gender...?

Her blogs are not only horribly written but loaded with tit advice. She got pregnant easily (yes, four cycles is easily) twice because she’s lucky, fertile and young. I hate the idea that women might spend their hard earned cash on bleeping BEE POLLEN because this brat says it made all the difference.

welcome, you’ve found your people here.
Sadly conception and mental health are just content creators for our Grabby. She doesn’t understand, she doesn’t care and she’s just closeted in her life as an overgrown child playing at being a grown up in her grubby dusty house. You are right to pity her.

I wonder if {M} is regretting teaming up with them yet, having already been called out re the IKEA hack and needing to re-write his introductory blurb - not to mention being questioned on the on safety aspects but not really having an adequate answer. From the pass agg tone of his reply I would think so! {even though we know it's really Grabs that's running the Instagram page!}

Call me a glutton for punishment but I read her blog post. duck.my.Life. Who finds this drivel helpful/informative/inspirational. It offers nothing really to the world except confirm what a self indulgent smug control freak she is. She is honestly the last person people should turn to for advice about ttc/pregnancy as her blog is so scattered, it's literally just a {pretty screwed up} mind dump. Keep a diary for your own purposes by all means, and I wouldn't begrudge anyone being obsessed/neurotic with their own pregnancy, but why on earth does she think people need to know every last detail, she just comes across as deranged. The part about Ben not agreeing with the dating scan - came across as a little controlling, no? And as for saying she has always been cautious Covid-wise - WTAF.

@Salcombe123 - wishing you the best of luck and I'm glad you saw the light in feeling comparison to someone who is really quite dysfunctional in so many ways. Hoping that you have some good news soon. 🤞🏻

Completely agree. Never used ovulation tests, or a thermometer, or anything else influencers swear by to conceive - i’ve been pregnant 5 times, 3 of those were first month not using protection, one was a surprise/accident and the other took 8 months. The one that took the longest was my first pregnancy which is when I was stressed about it not happening! I’ve had 3 losses so hopefully the baby currently cooking will be my second (and final) take home baby.

I don’t understand these women who try to control it from day 1 - Grabby, Elle Darby & Carys all using ovulation tests etc from the start, sucks all the fun out of it. ’Trying’ is meant to be the fun bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The bit about the dating scan and ignoring the date annoyed me too - it doesn’t matter what her or Ben thinks - in the NHS your due date is determined by the scan. It makes me think they only have sex to conceive if the date doesn’t make sense. I bet the spare room is actually Ben’s room and he only gets summoned when the ovulation test says she’s fertile.
