Sardines in sweet chill sauce on real toastOkay but I really love sardines in tomato sauce on white toast with lots of butter
You know I was thinking this. Maybe it wasn’t the dr? She said she talked to a number of people/teams. Maybe she talked to a physio. If the abnormality will require extra cafe around development. Or another health care professional?Something that has really been eating at me is how she mentioned her doctor telling her (???) that she could essentially become a spokesperson for this disability. You can't have both - you can't make yourself the poster child for being a mother with a disabled child while also keeping the matter private and not letting the issue define your son.
Disabled people all over the spectrum deal with enough trying to establish themselves as a normal human being whose existence is far more than acting as some sort of inspiration porn for abled people and between sarah's ego and her evangelicalism i just feel so scared for this little boy. i hope my feelings are wrong and i do genuinely feel for sarah because this is such a hard thing, especially when you're someone who is already mentally ill (though in denial) and who has never faced any kind of real hardship
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I do agree that sometimes there is a bit of petty nitpicking, however as someone else mentioned, when somebody angers you so much it's easy to get greatly annoyed at any small thing they do.I guess I am one of those new members defending Sarah. I have been reading on here since her break, went back a couple of threads to get myself into the loop and only created my account when I felt I could add value to the discussion rather than just repeating other users. Is it against the rules to try add perspective?
In my opinion her way of handling her pregnancy and the SM aspect go hand in hand. Yes, there would have been much better ways to do the SM part, and yes, she did it in that typical Sez manner which led most users here originally. But to me she gets a free pass in the pregnancy related actions on SM, however arguable they may be, during the weeks of finding out about her unborn child’s disability. I think that’s what a lot of people mean, that anyone should get a free pass in her situation and this includes her SM presence, her break that was not a break and the pieces of information that she let leak (aka bait).
I do agree with @Whatthehell66 that someone else should have taken responsibility and stopped her from the manic IG activities .
I was absolutely thrilled to find this forum because I got so frustrated reading the comment section on Sarah’s IG and YT posts. Since I started reading it seemed to me like people started to nitpick on every single post instead of focusing on calling out on her BS. Do the long time members agree or is my perception wrong?
The thing for me that makes it clear she doesn't deserve a 'free pass' is that she left advertising on the YouTube videoI would have given her a free pass if she hadn't acted in a similar way (baiting something's wrong but wouldn't say what until the vlog) with her CIN3 diagnosis, only with that, she actually did take a few days off social media to process it.
Looking back at the current situation it appears to me that she was desperate to say what was happening but because she couldn't yet she just kept coming on her stories and dropping hints instead. She was telling us without telling us. Yes, perhaps that was her way of coping. But at the same time she should acknowledge (to herself) how that looked to everyone looking in who only had these crumbs to go on, and that her getting bitchy when fans naturally speculated wasn't fair. On one hand, it's no one's business but hers. On the other, she kept talking about it when she didn't have to.
There isn't a right or wrong way to cope with devestating news, but how you handle yourself afterwards is important. She dragged it out. Even after she came out the otherside and was back to "normal" on her stories and was making vlogs again, she still kept reminding everyone she was dealing with something. People were moving on. Tattle was moving on. But as soon as it looked like people were, she brought it up again. Of course we know this is because she had a vlog planned and needed to drum up hype for it.
This is the part I won't give her a free pass on because in the end it looked calculated. It still looks that way. If her baby has a good chance of being born with mild version of his condition (I hope that's the case) they didn't need to reveal anything as no one would have been any the wiser. But now it feels like she's setting things up to cash in on it later, especially with the line that doctors apparently said she should use her channel to promote her baby's condition.
She said she wanted to address the matter in a vlog and never talk about it again but I absolutely believe that will not be the case.
This is so sad. Sydney is absolutely buzzing this weekend being our first weekend out of lockdown! Everyone is planning family lunches and catch ups, dinner and drinks out in a proper establishment… literally anything than what we have done for 3.5 months which is stay inside and watch the grass grow. She’s pretty much advertising that she’s unvaccinated at this point.It's their first weekend out of lockdown and this is how she's spending it.
Tell me you're not vaxxed without telling me you're not vaxxed.
Your life doesn't need to be this dull, sweetie.
Lol omg did he really say that? I need to watch that vid. Damn!Sardines in sweet chill sauce on real toast
I can't believe Kurt said ‘I’m chill about it all, Sarah can decide’
That's it, let your little sister make all the hard decisions. Disgusting.
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.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?
The only thing she said during the whole video that stood out to me as a way to distinguish between the conditions is the Dr telling her to abort. Unless she made that part up....Kurt wasn't in the room.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.

You can buy my app for as little as $400 a year for the recipeThat's because yours has more than sardines to provide flavor
Yeah, this would also be very weird for a doctor to say for Down’s syndrome (plenty of people choose to continue pregnancies in that case) - but AFAIK the other options screened in NIPT are either much more serious, or sex chromosome disorders where NIPT is much less accurate at predicting positives - in which case its even weirder that she doesn’t talk about getting the CVS result/confirmation.The only thing she said during the whole video that stood out to me as a way to distinguish between the conditions is the Dr telling her to abort.

She said the Dr recommended to ‘Stop and start again’

That statement works so well with your profile pictureOkay but I really love sardines in tomato sauce on white toast with lots of butter
I found this odd too. Are doctors allowed to straight up say get an abortion? This is how she made it out in the video to me, like the doctor didn’t discuss with her about life with the babies condition and just straight up said to abort. I just can’t see a doctor saying that and getting away with it? I would be absolutely outraged and would want to speak to a different doctor, surely that’s not just me being dramatic?The only thing she said during the whole video that stood out to me as a way to distinguish between the conditions is the Dr telling her to abort.

I would have to disagree with statements in this thread stating that a doctor wouldn’t ask someone to terminate a pregnancy.I found this odd too.

I also found it odd that the doctor apparently brought up her large following. Why would they know that? And if they did because you know, the internet, again super odd and unprofessional to bring it up? No?
long story short, I believe she put words in the doctors mouth.
