Lottie Ryan has admitted she’s “thinking twice” about sharing her pregnancy journey online, after receiving “disgusting” messages from other mothers.
The RTÉ star was recently inundated with unsolicited advice, after she shared one of her pregnancy cravings.
Speaking to Jennifer Zamparelli on 2fm this morning, Lottie explained: “Among my cravings is a particular fizzy drink, which by the way I obviously told my doctor, and they said it was perfectly safe and fine.”
“I put up that this fizzy drink was one of the things I was craving, and I don’t even know why I looked at the responses, but [there was] people telling me just stuff that was absolutely disgusting.”
“Essentially telling me ‘you’re killing your baby’. Really, really disgusting stuff to send someone.”
The 35-year-old continued: “I don’t even get it, I didn’t ask for their advice and also these are just other mothers – I have a doctor people! I just couldn’t believe how passionate people are.”
“I was kind of thinking, Jesus lads there’s far worse things to be doing. And also, it’s just none of your business.”
Lottie, who is expecting a baby boy with her husband Fabio Aprile, admitted the entire situation has made her hesitant to share her pregnancy journey online.
The mum-to-be said: “It was something so innocent to have put up, and to have received such a response from people who really feel they’re the fizzy drink police…”
“I kind of did take a step back, going well Jesus maybe I should be a little more careful in future, and I think that’s kind of sad…”
“Because its something that I was kind of happy to talk about, but now I’m kind of thinking twice,” she confessed.
