Yes I agree - quite snooty, passive aggressive answers like the “she’s feeding just fine thank you” and the “how rude” when someone asked if she’s taking time off work to bond. She seems to be totally missing the point in how she’s portraying herself. Of course if she’s feeling physically and mentally fine after her section and coping well with her newborn then great for her - other women do have easier pregnancies, deliveries and post partum periods than others. HoweverSomebody is triggeredthat maternity leave comment did not sit right with her. Bonding with her baby my arse. She’s the strangest new mother I’ve ever seen
1. She has been so rude / aggressive and adamant that noone should dare ask her about family planning or babies after she got married and people did agree and stick up for her because agreeably it is noone’s business. BUT - then proceeds to post non-stop about being pregnant, scan pics , bump pics, gender reveal, baby shower, bringing baby home etc. So we’re allowed to ask about it then and have it pushed in our faces as much as possible that she’s pregnant with all her PR gifts and collabs along the way.
2. Not long after wedding and numerous snap backs at followers for the above reason when asked about babies, she partners with repromed as an ambassador to “open the discussion on infertility and family planning” contradicting herself on the first point and then also admitting she’s never had fertility issues herself (and as we learned after was already pregnant or nearly) So are we allowed to ask her about it then? And why choose an ambassador without ANY understanding of or compassion for those with infertility when there are women on insta sharing their experience so excellently. It just appears as pure greed.
3. Only weeks after her Repromed partnership - with followers now gained from the discussion on infertility she announces - with no trigger warning or sensitivity or tact - that she’s pregnant. Pic of ultrasound, hooray for me and everyone should be happy. Again are we allowed to talk or ask about babies now? Cos we were not allowed to ask about her own TTC journey despite wanting to raise awareness through the collab.
4. Continues as I said in point 1 to post PERSISTENTLY about pregnancy without EVER acknowledging her repromed partnership, followers with infertility therefrom and no consideration or warnings or follow up to it at all. Really poor for a girl boss, power woman, NURSE and role model for women of similar age or younger. So we’re allowed talk about those baby topics right!?
5. Has baby and announces it on gram, “coming home video” etc etc again no TW. And we’re back to not being allowed to ask or “have open discussion” on post partum phase /c section or delivery / breast feeding or choice thereof.
6. Posts continuously of pics in tight dressed to the nines outfits, nights out , and all her usual collabs and brands and new shoe brand etc and again we’re not allowed to have an open discussion about how this may seriously be damaging to and misrepresenting so many women in the post partum stage or those struggling or who’ve had difficult c sections or traumatic births or pretty much anyone with any variation of her “bounced straight back / I’M DOING SO GREAT” depiction.
So, Terrie, this is where the lines are blurred and your followers - who are lining your pockets buying all of your collabs and products - are left feeling frustrated and disappointed. If you don’t want to discuss your personal life , family planning pregnancy, breast feeding or post partum then fine - you’ve every right not to. Stick to your advertising and marketing and PR and continue using insta as your business and source of income and don’t post your personal life at all. Full stop. But you can’t have it both ways - you can’t come on and rub your entire pregnancy in everyone’s nose for 9 months - and benefit from gifts and collabs and discount codes - and then be outraged that followers are asking genuinely curious questions. And they’re asking questions because what you’re displaying on insta doesn’t add up and doesn’t seem authentic or sincere. It’s disingenuous and ignorant and inconsiderate to the women all over the country with very different experiences and it’s so hypocritical to how you’ve approached the entire baby topic for the last few years. It also makes you appear entirely un-relatable and right now, frankly, entirely unlikeable.
(I did so much damage to my bowel in labour and also MS fucks up your muscle reflex’s anyway which is how the bowel works) I ended up with a. ‘Temporary’ colostomy bag that I now have almost a year. Anyway, the letter said because of that, if I was a candidate to get pregnant again I would have to have a section. Guys the letter back from my MS doctor to the Gynae doc in fertility clinic basically just underlined, outlined and highlighted ALL the physical demands of a section on a woman who doesn’t have something else going on, he made valid points on the deep layers of muscles being cut through, that often it takes weeks and months to heal, and in the mean time your using your other limbs to support yourself. The jist of it guys was baby no 2 is too risky based on my personal medical situation because the section could cause irreparable and irreversible damage to my muscles via my MS. They said if in a year or 3 I happen to have a break from my symptoms they can review. But I know the door is closed. And sorry - didn’t mean to make this about me. I just really need to say that a section is a very physical surgery - and I’m not saying this is comparison to a vaginal birth. I’m saying it in comparison to it could actually limit the quality of my life, to the point I probably will never have another baby. And Terrie is acting like she had a tooth removed.
bloody hell
