Hey all, I’m a new lurker coming out of the woods! It seems really weird to me how in her video Sarah focuses on when she got the NIPT results (a screening test) but doesn’t say anything about getting the CVS results (a diagnostic test). This jumps out at me because I’m also 19 weeks pregnant and did NIPT screening earlier on and based on what I learnt about NIPT + the follow up diagnostic options (amnio or CVS), NIPT has low positive predictor values for many of the disorders it screens for, excluding Down’s syndrome + 2-3 much more serious disorders (I would think the latter aren’t what Sarah is facing because she suggests her baby’s disorder has a wide spectrum of severity).

The first time I listened I even thought she was saying the doctor recommended termination in a consult within her CVS appointment - i.e. before they’d have results, so based on NIPT alone - which I can’t see happening as the 3x medical practitioners I saw through my process all really hammered home how NIPT is risk screening not diagnostic. On a relisten though it’s just unclear because she never actually mentions getting the CVS result?

Getting high risk results in NIPT screening would be super stressful so I do empathise with her there - but it’s the CVS result that would confirm it so it’s weird she seems to gloss over that moment entirely. Obviously super emotional time though so who knows, I think it at least points to the issue being Down’s syndrome since that’s the one NIPT is really accurate for which can be less severe. But almost wouldn’t be surprised if later on there is no issue?
I know that we’re not speculating on which disorder the baby has but from what she has said I don’t think it’s Down’s Syndrome. It seems that his disorder isn’t one that is physically recognisable which Down’s syndrome definitely is.

I had a lot of time this evening. Spent some time on the health code IG. Their episode snippet reels are SUUUUPER imature and so not coherent, dont tie into any theme that can be categorised as "health". Why is spotify backing them? Whats the catch?

Like, todays reel is a really random chat about bananas and prefering them room temp or cold. And theyre laughing at each other and at the most unfunny things. Why would anyone be interested in what seems like overhearing a very contrived, forced-funny private chat between two boring people? What sort of premise is that for a podcast?

Also, How to tell when Scuz is rambling on and on without having anything to say:

And the winner, because I absolutely assure you this was a thoroughly mistimed, misplaced, not necessary use of this gesture:

Something to think on - I can vividly remember multiple instances of comments posted here being called out for crossing lines. BIG issues, too, not just “ouch that was not nice.”

If people genuinely believed there were comments crossing lines, why not be specific? Why not open that discussion with examples and help people grow?

EDIT: poor timing, was not intended to appear be a response to the no-moderating reminder, but mostly a commentary on those showing up and making vague statements about how disgusting other commenters are without being able to actually provide an example. My bad!

Also... She mentions oat milk and then it's a jarring cut to her saying "huge segue, but OAT MILK". It's not a segue when you were already talking about it, who did this editting?!

Also pretty sure OAT MILK is dairy free?? That's why dairy and lactose intolerant people drink oat, soy milk etc.
Oat milk is Dairy Free but its not Gluten Free, hence why I assume she can't normally eat them. I'm a legitimate non gluten eater haha and there are GF oat milks but I find even gluten free oats often have an effect on me, sadly

I just know that shit is grainy as hell. I reckon she’ll pin it as Nutella, and it’ll just be carob and hazelnuts with norr refeyend shugar, norr glewten, darey free, veegen.
I feel like it’s meant to be Black Forest, but it looks like dog shit or dogs breakfast as Sarah would say.

Ha ha no way would she have eaten maggi two minute noodles. I reckon her noodle binging is confined to that one pot of gluten free noodles from a health food store that she showed on one of her vlogs.
I thought this image was a part of your post initially cause it looks like something sunnee would put on their app but then realised it was a stupid google add 😂😂😂😂
Also this dumb pizza add is currently at the end every tattle page for me currently
TW - Public Service Announcement To Everyone
Please don't read if you are extra sensitive to EDs currently.


I became active on this thread because I was extremely over Sarah's extremely triggering ED behaviour after years of observing her problematic behaviour and there was a reason I was being triggered - because my ED was being activated, not neccesarily by Sarah because I wasn't consuming her content anymore but I was going down that dark path and recognised the triggers and behaviours she was marketing and profiting off, because in the past she HAD contributed to it, and I tried to channel a little bit of the hatred and digust I felt within myself at Sarah and others who enable others to develop and/or maintain disordered eating.
Recently, I've been confronted by my closest loved ones to seek help and I am currently in the process of re-starting professional help.
I think you all are insightful, wonderful women and I have no intention of leaving this thread (but I'll obviously discuss with my psych upon my first session back) so this isn't a "i'm leaving" message neccesarily; in fact this thread actually made me more conscious of what was going on with me and I shouldn't have to continue living with an insidious ED even if I thought I had been managing it (PSA: you are never managing it, it manages you until you're actually recovered)
If others want to discuss whatever they're going through, I'm here on the thread still or I'm available in direct messages, if you need someone to chat with who gets it.
The point of this message is, if you're on here cause you're actually triggered by the above, then please make sure you're okay and check in with a professional if you're feeling overly affected, it can sneak up on you like a toxic, comforting ex.
Much love xoxo


Edit: I only made this post extra noticeable because I want everyone on here to seriously take into consideration their mental health, this post has nothing to do with me personally. You are your #1 priority ❤
Also i should add if you’re struggling call Life line on 13 11 14
Or just reply here, someone will help ❤

Yes same here. I have gone to private browsing to be able to post but I can’t post in normal safari because of this error.
im pages behind but that error that comes up is just when tattles server goes down which is semi regularly. Usually only lasts a minute or 2!

Yes that was me! I need to find a way to tell the story without exposing who I am / getting staunched by Sarah! I worked at a cafe (I’m sure you can guess which one). But I don’t know how to tell it vaguely without missing the key points! I’ll think of something!
Just shows how unobservant I was, I have no idea about which cafes she frequents.

Although I also live in Tas. So that’s also a big part of why I don’t know much about these things.

I was just coming to mention this! She SOOOOO busy all the time how has she got time for more (by time I mean motivation cause sis can't work more than an hour 3 days a week)? Also why does everything have to be A NUUUU BusINeSs 🙄 theyres ALL a "Sarah's Day" business, no one is buying Sunee because they want a cooking app, it's only because it's HER app. Unless its a tax evasion tactic 😂

But I don't even know what this "business" is going to be?? She's baited some Sarah's Day gua-sha's and also exercises bands in the past few months that haven't appeared but that doesn't seem like it'd be a whole business and other than that she's just active wear, E-Books and 'cooking' which already have their own "business"
It’s probably just merch or something “dumb” like that where she can sell her most recent obsession to her brainwashed followers.

She said something in her story that the hospital said she's already at the higher end of weight gained.
Is that something they monitor?
Both my pregnancies they asked me weight at my first appointment, they may have even weighed me. After that I don't believe I was weighed again. Can't work out is she’s lying or if they do weigh some women.
Where I live, it’s a low risk hospital and if you get to a certain BMI you can’t birth at the hospital, they send you to the major city in our state to birth at a more equipped hospital

I was weighed a lot in my pregnancy but that was because I get HG and barely eat for the whole 9 months because I’m on medication every day stopping me from vomiting

One thing that came to my mind, that she always used to do/say many years ago was that she always put chia seeds into her water BECASUE she likes to chew on things… like… what the actual fuck? My jaw would literally fall apart if I tried to chew on chia seeds permanently
I like how chia seeds get jelly-like when I put them in overnight oats, it's like a chia seed pudding, but having them get like that from WATER would be... less than palateable, surely.

Third is when they went shopping for bathtubs for the Reno and one of the baths was too big for her liking and she says “yeah no this isn’t for me, I’m just too skinnyyyy”, but Kurt and Maddy were talking at the same time so didn’t hear her/didn’t react to her, so she just goes again after a few seconds: “I’m just too skinnyyyyy”
Oh my lordy, can someone please find this vlog and share?

It means hitting someone with something by throwing it at them.

So 'pegging a rock' means like, throwing a rock intending for it to hit someone / something.

Is this aussie slang? do other countries use this term?
We use it for something very different 😂

Also this kinda implies she's keeping Sunee around for another year?
With yearly subscriptions there's no way she can nicely discontinue the app without having to give refunds, will be nice when this comes back on her because she was too cheap for 1 month subscriptions

Her daughter is about 2 years old! So pretty recent. Her daughter is her second child. She had a healthy and uncomplicated first pregnancy. So, for her second, she just had the basic screenings and tests done. These typically include general blood work in the first trimester (many places do not even conduct an NIPT blood test unless there is an indication), an anatomy scan at 20 weeks (ultrasound where they take basic measurements of the baby), and a gestational diabetes screening at 28 weeks. Nothing came up out of the ordinary. Many places will not conduct ultrasounds or further blood tests at the end of pregnancy unless there is a need to.

It was a shock when her daughter was born. She very eloquently put it that it was as if she had planned her whole life to tour Italy. She steps off the plane, and instead finds herself in New Zealand. Also an incredible place, but one she doesn't know the beauty of yet. And even though it is still the trip of a lifetime, it is natural to mourn the trip you'd been dreaming of.

I am published in a scientific journal. Though I did not ultimately pursue academia as a career, I have the utmost respect for research. That being said, I also was having intense health issues for over 6 years before I was finally diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Those 6 years did permanent damage to my spine. It is viewable on an x-ray. However, many screening tests ordered by a variety of specialists missed the answer for many years. So though our advances in science and technology are great, we are not as in control as we'd like to think we are.

Edit: fixed typos; Also, I want to add that I know that many places do not conduct an NIPT without cause, because I gave birth this year. For my child, we didn't find out the sex until the 20 weeks anatomy scan. The general blood test screenings did not warrant an NIPT which would have allowed us to learn the the sex as a byproduct of the chromosomal analysis.
So she didn’t have a 12 week (ish) scan to check the nasal bone and nuchal fold?
I’ve had 4 kids all at public hospitals, no risk factors, as a young mum (18-28) and each pregnancy I had the scan done. The blood test was optional.
It’s also strange they didn’t pick anything up at the morphology scan at 20 weeks.

Although I guess Kelle Hampton famously had no indication that her daughter would be born with Down syndrome. Allegedly.
