The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for @carbonbrief.org providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing. www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

Tiny workout buddy keeping me on my toes this morning as she’s spent the weekend figuring out how to crawl. Now have to retrieve her from other people’s mats between sets.

Lovely to know that viewers of #TheTraitors have donated as much as Alexander would have won.

Having to learn not to whoop loudly at the television during The Traitors, because this time around I have a small baby sleeping above who I have already disturbed twice…

Is this where we are discussing the Traitors? Or do I have to venture back to Twitter for that…

The moment I realised getting my daughter to go to sleep might be an issue this evening: when she climbed off my lap and stood on the floor twerking while I sang twinkle twinkle little star

I’ve long been obsessed by these influencers - one especially who charges £250 a month to then force more supplements on you. Her sole credential seems to be that she successfully got pregnant with PCOS.

Threads showing me the same sort of stuff I consumed on Instagram is why I deleted it so quickly. What I want to see on a public text-based app is very different from the content I consume on a private account on photo + video platform.

So finding things (especially in the winter) like cinema screenings designed for babies has proved to be a lifeline.

But it’s definitely mothers disproportionately who get cut off from society in the early years - often in minor ways. Eg. I can’t go to my favourite brunch place anymore as it can’t take prams. It’s not a big deal, but these things stack up at a time when you feel less yourself than ever before.

And my tiny gal loved being there too! She bounced herself around for the first half an hour, passed out for two hours and then woke just in time for Defying Gravity - which she happily “sang” along to.

Cynthia Erivo is sublime in Wicked, her voice is unreal. Ariana Grande felt like odd casting before I saw it - but she’s also perfect and unexpectedly hilarious.

Marthe de Ferrer @marthe.co.uk · 26/11/2024
Wicked is excellent - but it was made even more enjoyable by being able to go to a baby-friendly screening. Naively I didn’t realise quite how cut off from cultural moments I’d feel as a new mother, so spaces like today have been super valuable.

What a difference six months makes. My tiny, jaundiced premature gal is now a proper force to be reckoned with.

It’s some sort of baby magic? I put it on in desperation the other day and she giggled like she was seeing an old friend… she’s only 6 months! Pleased it’s such a sweet show too

What this picture doesn’t show is that she was shouting at one of the dogs so he would come over to her and play.

Safe to say the last 6 months have sped by. Amazing how much personality is able to fit into such a small person.

She turned six months today and we’re both thriving now! But it was a scary final six weeks of my pregnancy and a terrifying first week of her life. Very grateful for exceptional medical care.

(For clarity - although I work for BBC News’s social team at the moment - I have no idea about their plans either way on here, as am currently on mat leave!)

Although WhatsApp channels also don’t give any traffic data, but uptake has still been really high. We (at BBC News) just use tracking URLS to measure traffic on WhatsApp - so imagine the same will be done on here.

Apparently intro posts are the done thing here: I’m a journalist, currently working for BBC News. My main two interests are education and the environment. But after nearly dying 4 days after having my daughter in May, I’ve a renewed interest in maternal healthcare too. Connect with me 🫡

Joining a new platform means another chance to share my favourite photo ever taken of my daughter. I don’t really post her face on public socials, but this is an exception for obvious reasons.
