I saw it coming once the conservatorship ended

Yikes.

Good for her

She went through hell when her other 2 were small
I hope she gets to enjoy this pregnancy and baby, safely away from her awful family and awful ex

WeDontShutUpAboutBruno · 11/04/2022 20:46

Good for her, she was basically forced out of her boys lives, has had no control for years, now she is able to do what she likes. Glad to see she is moving on.

CorneliusVetch · 11/04/2022 20:46

I wish her a healthy and happy pregnancy, which is I think the only reaction anyone should have here

Lovely news! Hope she has all the support she needs this time around

Smokeahontas · 11/04/2022 20:47

Meant to comment with that! The post is a bit strange.

Her health visitors got some job ahead of her....

Giraffesandbottoms · 11/04/2022 20:50

Her mental health is in tatters. She needs help and this is probably not going to be a good thing.

Agree. Added to that, her partner seems a right old grifter so this - if true - is his meal ticket.

Up to her though isn’t it and her mental health is not really any of our business. She’s under so much scrutiny - I’m just glad she’s is now allowed to decide what she wants to do with her own body and life.
Smokeahontas · 11/04/2022 20:58

It comes across that she just types whatever is in her head. Undoubtably better off out of the conservatorship but she still has work to do on her MH.

babyjellyfish · 11/04/2022 20:58

Good for her, I hope everything goes perfectly.

MurmuratingStarling · 11/04/2022 20:59

No sure this is the best thing for her. But..... she does seem to be getting sorted and settled now. So good luck to her. I have a lot of time for Britney, and have always liked her. I wish her only happiness and good fortune. Flowers

Hmmmmmm. I think if previous posters were not so happy for her you would have gone down a different thread. What has her age got to do with it? I am happy for her and it eas clearly something ibg she wanted for a long time
EmmaH2022 · 11/04/2022 21:00

What’s the AIBU?

All good wishes to her. And nowt wrong with having a baby at 40. Weird post.

drpet49 · 11/04/2022 21:01

Car crash. This will end in tears and as usual the child will suffer

MrsSkylerWhite · 11/04/2022 21:02

Hope she has an healthy, happy pregnancy and an happy life thereafter. She deserves a chance at real life.

Christienne · 11/04/2022 21:02

As the child of a mother with mental health issues - which have impacted me significantly - I hope her health is, and remains, stable, for the sake of her child(ren).

nopenotplaying · 11/04/2022 21:03

Oh gosh I've just looked at her Instagram feed. I thought she was better than she is bless her heart.

We don't have health visitors in the US.
BoodleBug51 · 11/04/2022 21:03

Her mental health is clearly very fragile.

There was a reason for her conservatorship to last so many years and have so many conditions.

Great for her, I guess, but what about the child?

HotDogKetchup · 11/04/2022 21:04

I think she types what’s in her head because she’s been so sheltered she doesn’t realise that’s not appropriate. Like a teenager!

Tbh I don’t think her mental health is much worse than anyone else’s, she’s clearly been abused and suffered trauma, that doesn’t mean she can’t be a good mum.

I wish her all the luck.
