Hello,

My name is Jodie and I am the mum behind @jointhewhartonadventure on TikTok.

I am a proud mum of two, who both were delivered by c-section.

Sophia my eldest was an emergency, as she swallowed and choked on her meconium and Bailey my youngest was due to failed dilation. However while I was in surgery the consultants struggled to reach Bailey as he was still really high and from the scar tissue from my first surgery.

These surgeries have left me with extensive scar tissue that causes my stomach to be misshaped and a 3.8cm gap in my abdomen.

I have tried going down the NHS route but because it is not life-threatening, they are not willing to fix it.

I have daily back pain and cannot snuggle my kids tight while holding them in my arms as this causes me pain and discomfort.

I know I am not worth your money and would never ask for it, this account is purely for transparency as once I reach 500 followers I will use the commission from the TikTok programme/ Vinted or if I’m really lucky and gain 10,000 followers the money I gain from the videos to help save this money up and put it in here
