Lol. Why do look at them at all. We are all madI’ll take your word for it because I don’t want to look back through her stories.

I thought this, too. The signs are there that it hasn't been easy sailing and, really, the hardest part is yet to come. They're still in the newborn bubble but that can't continue indefinitely.Rebecca brags a lot - but read between the lines.
She was ‘in shock’ after the baby arrived, which makes me think she had a fast birth which isn’t necessarily a good thing. She posted on stories she had ‘the worst night of my life’ which probably means the baby screamed all night. The baby also had a tongue tie, so establishing breastfeeding hasn’t been straight forward. The walks each day are possibly due to her obsessive need to exercise.
It’s all smoke and mirrors. I imagine for someone as self-centred as Rebecca the whole experience has been overwhelming and confronting - but her feed depends upon her presenting the pretence of a stepford wife life.
This is Venture - same happened to my friendUnless the deal is photo shoot for free and then you pay for what you want to keep?
There used to be a company which did this (frantically trying to remember their name). The shoot would include as many family members as you wanted even pets and it's the now clichéd things like the whole family's feet or all jumping up in the air together, you know the type.
A couple of friends variously went into this and did the shoot, got one free 7x5 picture and then had to pay for whatever else. First friend, horrified on going to the viewing, chose one picture and that was around £350 maybe the other got sucked in and ended up admitting to spending c. £2000 on photos, canvases and memory sticks.
Let's hope it's something like this and not yet another grabathon
The smartest baby who ever babied.Baby is even starting to read, recognise things
Is she duck, just trying to stealth brag for as longn as possibleOh thank god. She’s hesitant to share the birth story. Let’s alllllll keep everything crossed {}

Absolutely. How can people claim that there isn’t an element of luck?! It’s just ignorant.So in a contradictory kind of way, yes share positive stories but be bloody mindful of those who also prep and do everything they should but still do not achieve what they wanted to. Someone with such a mass following REALLY needs to approach this with care. Sorry for going a little mums netty!
Excatly what happened to me, after failed forceps first. There is no element of prep that will ensure you a perfect birth story, any good midwife would say the same. I think using media to portray this perfect baby bubble, including all the gifted items ( I have a non gifted bugaboo, this also irritates me!) is so detrimental to new mothers, whether it's your first or tenth baby. Keep it real for crying out loud.In contrast I just watched the Lily Pebbles birth story video and she ended up with an emergency caesarean because baby was back to back....would love some people to say to her that if she had done more hypnobirthing prep she would have had a different outcome
Oh yes you’re right only just realised that perhaps that post was just about her merching and getting more free stuffThe hospital bag that wasn’t used.
From her post it seems she was still doing her 10k steps a day even during labour

She did say that god knows how I couldn’t get out the bloody chair haha
That's the one. Thank youThis is Venture - same happened to my friend
That’s exactly what it is. I guarantee by next week we’ll have the blogpost “requested by so many of you”She’s not hesitant at all, she just wants everyone to ask for it to help her feel important and so that she can say it was in response to so many requests to hear it.
Yes, agree that she was incredibly lucky and I agree that she should acknowledge that and not attribute it down to purely preparation, having not had a straightforward time myself I think she is actually being quite thoughtless in the way she is talking about it, but I think that is down to a lot of naïveté, thoughtlessness and also her self entitlement rather than through malice.
She’s as bad as people that go on Facebook and say ‘I’m in hospital!’ etc just so people will go ‘you ok Hun?’ And they won’t answer until they’ve got the required reactionThat’s exactly what it is. I guarantee by next week we’ll have the blogpost “requested by so many of you”
