Lucy Mecklenburgh felt guilty time for herself

OHMYGOSSIP — Lucy Mecklenburgh used to “feel guilty” about doing anything for herself when her son was born.
The Results With Baby founder – who has two-year-old Roman with partner Ryan Thomas and is pregnant with her second child – thinks there is too much pressure on mothers to be “selfless” and so, ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday (27.03.22), called for mums to acknowledge what they’d really like on the special day.
She said: “When I first became a mum I was surprised how guilty you can feel for doing anything selfless.
“Literally, anything I did for myself I felt bad about, whether that was to take time to make myself a healthy lunch or fit in a 15 minute home workout, or put my makeup on.
“It’s an amazing time becoming a mum, and let’s be honest, we wouldn’t change it for the world, but I think there is so much pressure on mums to be selfless.
“I think it’s so important that we, as mums, acknowledge what we would really love because, while we love our children more than anything, it’s so important that we get that tiny bit of time each day to do something for us to still feel just a little bit human.
“Even if that is just throwing on some makeup or eating a proper lunch.
“I really believe that a happy mum makes a happy baby and that involves looking after ourselves with fitness, good nutrition, time to socialise and the right support.”
To highlight the cause, Lucy has created a funny video alongside friends including Frankie Bridge and Lydia Bright showing how they’d like to do some things undisturbed.
In the clip, Lucy tries desperately to put on her make-up, while Roman hits her with a tub of moisturiser, Frankie begs for a lie in while her sons Carter and Parker, and their family dog Turbo, jump out from under the covers, and Lydia’s trip to the salon isn’t as relaxing as she’d like because her daughter Loretta is in her lap while she gets her hair washed.
Lucy said: “This video is just a bit of fun to show all mums that they are not alone, we all feel EXACTLY the same, and we’ve all been there.
“Results With Baby is designed by mums for mums because we know EXACTLY what mums and mums-to-be really need.
“The workouts are short to fit into that tiny gap in your day, there are speedy mum meals – all under 5 minutes – and beige food recipes for pregnant women who just can’t stomach any food that isn’t beige!
“There is expert support from Midwives, GPs, Doctors, Nutritionists, Lactation Consultants, Parenting Experts, Sleep Experts and more – because I know first hand how important it is to feel empowered and confident as a mum.
“We might not be able to guarantee you a lie in…. but mums, we’ve got everything else you need covered.”
The idea for the video was born after Results Wellness Lifestyle asked 1400 of it’s mum members “If they could have anything, what would they really want on Mother’s Day”.
90 per cent said they would love a lie in, 67 per cent wanted an hour or more of alone time and 40 per cent admitted their ultimate treat would be having someone else plan dinners for a week.
