not defending her at all but I did watch her birth vlog recently (just before I had my second baby) and I remember her saying on the Friday they wanted to induce her due to him being small/not having many reserves if he went into stress so she asked if she could wait until his due date (the Monday) to be induced. And spent the weekend doing s+s, spicy curry etc to progress labour. One thing that did annoy me was her being mad that they wanted her to come in to be monitored, like I fully understand wanting to labour for as long as you can where you are the most comfortable but given the concern over his lack of reserves it made sense for them to want to monitor him. Even EI came on here to say the same thing.. I can’t be bothered going back and rewatching her videos but from memory Fox was too small and no longer growing so the medical advice was to get him out asap in case he was distressed in there? That was medical advice!!! I hate how she paints the Drs in this horrible light. The same situation could be happening with her baby RN and she wouldn’t know because she’s flying under the radar. Ohhhh so ‘empowered’ now .. more like putting your baby in danger.
I remember her saying that her motherly instincts are telling her that he is ok lol despite what the Drs were saying
I hope ‘flying under the radar’ was poor wording and she just means that nothing has been found that could indicate her requiring an induction this time. Since she did have an appointment at 38wks and would be due for another this week sometime.
I did notice she used to comment that bub was moving and kicking and as she’s gotten closer to the due date she hasn’t said as much - my theory is that it’s because the reality of this nuuborn is kicking in, as well as his condition (most likely an intellectual disability as that’s what the NIPT tests for) and she’s feeling ill prepared for having a child with extra needs leading her to feeling detached during this pregnancy. This is just a theory though. Especially with friends and family having children without a condition (Katie + Kyle, Beth + Brenton).
I truly hope this humbles her and she does what’s best for her mental health and her children. I’m sure she can be a decent mother if she just let go of this persona, ego and just focuses on her kids. Maybe not but I hope so for their sake.
