AIBU to think Danielle Lloyd should stop selling her story and concentrate in her babies!!

[essexmumma]

Ok, not anything major but I really can't believe that with a poorly baby in SCBU Danielle Lloyd has found the time to write and send her diary to OK magazine about the traumatic time!!!! She details the birth, shock and fear all for a few quid- Is nothing sacred?!

I understand you having a gut reaction like that, essexmama but as well as raising awareness, it's probably helping her to process what happened. I know when my prem DS was in SCBU I wrote out my whole birth story the next morning and posted it on facebook. It was probably a bit self indulgent but I wanted to connect with people as I felt so alone and confused and unprepared for it all.

Much as I think she's a non-entity nanoceleb, the poor woman doesn't get maternity leave as a self-employed '"talent" - if she doesn't work, she doesn't get paid. So YABU.

I have more of a problem with the kind of people who buy OK magazine TBH.

To be honest she really is incredibly annoying isn't she? Whatever she does.

YABU. It may be vulgar but she is providing for her family including her sick baby in the best way available to her. Fundamentally its no different from going out to work.

Actually when my dd was in scbu I had nothing but time. I couldn't pick her up or cuddle her much. I wouldn't leave her unless they told me it was time to leave. You can't really take anyone in with you, can't use your phone so you can't talk to anyone. You sit there and stare at your baby that is lying helpless and poorly in front of you. So writing a diary of events to vent and release all those feelings at a really stressful and sad time doesn't seem such a bad idea. AND if it raises awareness or money or makes her money then great! I just want to point out that I am neither a Danielle Lloyd fan or read her column.
