To wonder why on earth Amanda Holden is back at work already!?

[EdnaClouds]

Just 3 weeks ago she has an emergency CS, nearly died and spent a few days in intensive care. Surely she should be at home resting for a while longer yet?

Nobody on their deathbed would be wishing they had watched more of Amanda Holden on BGT.

I don't know if her condition was exaggerated, when pg with DC1 I suffered blood poisoning and nearly died, my notes described me as moribund! I was back at work 8 days later. You can recover quickly and as people have said its not a taxing job, especially when you don't have to battle public transport.

A job likes hers will be intense at times but the trade off is the financial freedom to spend lots of time with her DCs at others. Only she knows what is right for her family situation, and I'm sure she will have considered that!

If it was Amanda's husband returning to work no one would blink an eye. As long as she is physically ok and satisfied the baby is well cared for, good on her. She's probably in a slightly privileged position that baby could go with her to work.

I'd want to do the same in her shoes. And I do think this threads just showing women being unsupportive of each other yet again. This thread is too new but another one on same topics quoted in today's mail on Sunday you know.

I just knew there would be a Holden thread on here this morning!
FFS she has flown up to Scotland for 1 day its hardly like she's gone back to the office 9-5 is it now?
In her position I would have done the same, after all who knows how long BGT will last and its prob a major part of her income. Its not like she will get maternity pay and if she didnt do this seris who's to say she woud get back on the panel for next time.
As for her projecting unreal expectations on other mothers thats not her problem or fault. Its us women who are our own worst enemies, the way we on one hand want the right to make our choices and be respected for them yet in the next breath crucifice other women for making choices that we dont agree with !!

The sceptical part of me thinks its all publicity for BGT!

AH will have had to undergo a strict medical for insurance purposes. If she its back at work, she will have been deemed medically, physically, ready to be. The insurance company will have specified the medics who checked her out and they'll have erred on the side of caution - they do not want to have to pay out if they've said she's fit to work and she turns out not to be!

And SC would not have pushed her to return. The absolute opposite. He's incredibly understanding and supporting in these sorts of circs. Have worked with him.
