I just caught a glimpse of your ‘layin low’ tattoo and I remember when you got that. As a woman old enough to be your Mom I just wanted to share that I am so proud of you. You have worked so hard and deserve all the best this life can offer. I have been following you since using a broken lamp was the lighting in your tutorials and you were still working as an MUA. I wish you a smooth and speedy birth along with a quick bounce back for you. I am excited for you and Jack. And excited for all the grandparents too. Huge, huge love to you, Jack, Drogba and Juno from 🇨🇦
You literally won't think about anything else but your baby for the rest of your life. My sons 26 and he's still the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about at night. It's such a special time waiting for your wee one to arrive ❤
Don’t worry about sleep deprivation- you may have a really great sleeper. Both of my girls, now 17 and about to be 14, slept through the night from the first night I brought them home. Occasionally they would wake up once, need a feeding and a changing, and they would go back down. You may get lucky too. Regardless of which path your baby girl takes, you won’t mind getting up. Newborns are magical. They are so soft. They are warm. They make the sweetest noises. They smell delicious. You would stay up for a month straight for that baby. You’ve got this. Congratulations ❤❤❤.
Breast feeding didn’t work for me, so I was able to go for my Botox not too long after giving birth. When I wasn’t feeling my best, it was a nice perk up. Also, apparently Morpheus can be used on your belly to tighten skin up! I’m going to ask about it for myself. I don’t have a ton of loose skin so why the hell not One thing I wanted to add (because I feel like it’s not talked about) is if you don’t feel that overwhelming love and bond right away don’t worry. It will come. There’s so much pressure, and with “baby blues” it can make you feel even worse. Just go easy on yourself if you don’t feel it right away is all.
Your life is going to drastically change in the sense that you'll actually know what the feeling of true love is. I am so happy for you to experience this joy.
Honestly watching you and Jack all these years, from home to home, getting new pups, Vieve….it’s actually emotional seeing you radiant and pregnant! Im so happy for you two…three ❤
I have my 10 week old asleep on my chest right now. He came two months early and our journey was hard but it’s all worth it when they’re next to you. Try to enjoy every moment but don’t stress when you don’t. Take good care of yourself those hormones are wild. Cuddles are your best friend. You’ll do amazing and it’s worth it. I’d do it again 100 times over for my tiny little man.
i always found the night feeds easier by not putting any noise on and just concentrating on how quiet it was and thinking how we were the only 2 people awake in the whole world (clearly not the whole world but in my mind we were) 😍❤️
@@jamiegenevieve honestly our youngest woke up for a feed at 4am the other morning and i’d forgotten just how lovely the still mornings were 🥰❤️ enjoy every minute ❤️
I loved this part so much with my second because I felt a lot calmer and was in a position to be able to relax. It makes me miss having a baby now they're both 10 and 8 ❤
Loved this catch up Q&A on what you are and are not going to do. Ive had 4 children all induced, gas and air at the last part of labour, luckily 3 hour labours from 1st contraction to delivery, no birth plans for any of them lol. The best advice I was given for my 1st was from a mum of 4 in the next bed that said "keep your mouth shut in labour, dont scream and shout as you waste energy", I think you just naturally get into the zone when labour really kicks in, listen to your body, and also with my 1st the midwife said to me "when you see her you will realise just how much your mum loves you" and its right you do. I wish you the safest labour and delivery and I cant wait to see baby girl, Jacks reaction when she is here as well as yours of course and the next chapter as parents, take care and lots of love xx
I've never been so happy and excited for two people to have a baby! Treasure every moment bcs times flies! My baby girl is gona be 15 soon and it feels like just yesterday I had her. ❤❤
Placenta encapsulation is fantastic. It gives your body back the iron, hormones and minerals that went in to making your placenta. It will help you hugely. Remember that second night postpartum is tough and when your milk comes in so will the tears. All normal 👍
I was induced via the hormonal drip at 40+9 due to mechonium in my waters. I was terrified but it was honestly the most positive experience. I was in labour for 12 hours and he arrived safely 🤗 both of us were absolutely fine. Painful, yes. The best experience, also yes. I wish you all the best. I’d give anything to meet my baby for the first time ❤ lots of love xxxx
I wish you were around for me 40 years ago. I would have had children. You’re such an inspiration and a joy to get to know! All the very best in the upcoming exciting weeks to you all. ❤❤❤
I just know for a fact I am going to sit and sob my little heart out as soon as you announce your baby girl has entered the world. I’m so beyond excited for you and Jack!!
I’m not a mum, and not usually interested in this type of content, but what a positive and enjoyable video! I’m really pleased for you Jamie, I think you’re going to be an absolutely fantastic mother. GOOD LUCK ❤❤❤
That is the most sensible birth plan I have heard. Have your preferences but go with whatever has to happen to bring a healthy baby into the world. Also with breast feeding. Don't feel pressured into it if it is not working because this stress will only take away precious time between you and your baby. Best of luck and can't wait to see the little one. I bet Jack will be crying when she arrives.
Encapsulating my placenta was the best thing ever! Had postpartum blues maybe even a little depression with my daughter and so I went looking for something to help when I fell pregnant with my son. Came across placenta encapsulation and decided to try it and it seriously was the best thing ever I felt like it helped my hormones so much. Even my hubby noticed the difference to the point he tells any of his guy friends about it whose wives/gfs become pregnant.
When I became a new mum I really struggled, my lovely Dad said I was doing everything right. So, whatever you do will be right because sometimes you need to hear that. Safe travels to your little girl and you xxx
Back when I was having babies there was no kind of pain relief offered!! I had both of my kids 100% natural and the first one was horrendous!!! I was only 16 and alone. He's 41 now and the absolute love of my life!!! My daughter was born when I was 18 and she slid out in less than 4 hrs, the boy took 48 hrs!!!! I wish you so much luck sweet girl!!!! You're gonna do great and baby girl is too❤❤❤❤❤
Both of mine where bang on 37 weeks, my 1st my son was natural but my daughter was a section both different experiences but the joy of having them both arriving healthy was immeasurable. I absolutely loved being in the baby bubble my heart was just so full. Love seeing how for you have come and your family growing... Wishing you and Jack and baby girl all the best. ❤
So glad to see your looking happy and healthy. Can't wait to see baby girl. X you and Jack will be the best parents. Can't wait to see what Drogba and Juno make of her x
I can’t believe your baby girl is almost here! It seems like the time is just flying. I think your realization that birth plans can go awry is the best. I have 5 kids and just went in with minimal expectation and I’m grateful they’ve all gone smoothly. I wish one day the United States would get on board with better maternity leave. We only get 6-12 weeks at home depending on your state and coverage. I only got 2months with my baby girl. Thankful that I was able to ease back into work at least though, 1 day/week the first month, 2 the next and 3-4/week from there on out.
Watching this video while nursing my baby girl that was born on Easter morning ! Love your take on your birth plan and breast feeding and just slowing down and not worrying about anything but taking care of your babe. I’m so excited for you to meet your baby ! It’s the best feeling in the whole world 💗
Good luck with the last couple of weeks of pregnancy and hope your labour is magical, so excited for you to embrace motherhood it really is the most beautiful experience as I wait for my baby girl to turn 3 next month! The spring babies are the best 🥰🌸 sending all the love and positivity!
can't express how refreshing your attitude to pregnancy and birth is! I'm a student midwife and hope I can support ladies to be as informed as you! also placenta encapsulation is the best! best of luck Jamie
I really would like for you to know this nugget of help Every baby has their own flow. They are their own individuals. So when you think of nursing just feed baby when baby needs fed. Try not to have such strict blocks of time because it leads to disappointment and baby frustrated. I’m a mom of 3 and when I was told to nurse “on demand” it changed the game for me and everything was so much smoother
So wholesome and heartwarming to hear you talk about personal growth and what you’re excited about as a mum! I’ve been watching you for years and followed along from very early on. Biggest congratulations to you, Jack and the pups! Can’t wait to hear more of your mum journey xx
I've only just found your channel within the last few months which blows my mind! But you've quickly became one of my favourite people to watch! You have the most beautiful energy! I have a baby girl she is 16 months old now and she is just magic, wishing you all the best and so excited for you to join the journey! There's no love like it xxxxxx
The lack of sleep, as hard as it can be.. is worth it for the love we have for our baby. Seeing them smile and know they are comforted and feel safe. Adult nappies were a game changer for me for PP bleeding. Also the My Expert Midwife Spritz for Bits, felt really nice sprayed directly or on the nappy/pad for stitches etc. My birth happened relatively quickly so gas and air was my only option as when I got pethidine it was too late as baby arrived before it kicked in. And regards to the placenta pills, a friend of mine got pills and creams and it worked wonders for her eczema and other skin conditions, she felt amazing! I hope you and the baby have a safe birth and I'm so excited for any updates from you! Going through it myself gives me a new perspective for other people.
Absolutely love your whole attitude to pregnancy,birth and parenting….go with the flow and be true to yourself as always. So excited for you and Jack and Drogba and Juno! What a cool family vibe you will have going on ! X
Im literally so excited for you and Jack! You two are going to be the best parents ever. Baby girl is so lucky to have you both! Sending you lots of love and luck for the birth ❤
I had my placenta incapsulated after my first delivery and it was an absolute MUST for me. I'm 100% certain it quickly pulled me out of plunging into Post Partum Depression. It was gold! I also had a balm made that kept my daughter from having any diaper rashes, skin issues, etc. The placenta is MAGIC!
Breastfeeding only got easier for me by 3 months mark..Its not hard for everyone but it was tough battled with tongue tie, bad latch. We are still going strong at 5 months and it's the best decision I made to keep going. Being out and about is the best feed anywhere and time and it's such a beautiful bond. Good luck xxx
I had a hard time breastfeeding at the start and found a support group to help. Glad I kept going too as made life easy! Ended up feeding my daughter for two years. 💕
Love this video. My baby boy came 10 days early in January. I was adamant he would be late so get prepared 😅 Something you always hear but is sooo true is, the newborn days are long as soooo tiring but try to enjoy it as it does just go. You feel like you will be in it forever but it does get better. Enjoy all that’s to come 🩷
You've got exactly the right attitude! I've had a child (6) every way possible... except water birth! It will be what it will be! My advice is to walk as much as possible, leading up to the big day! It helps so much whichever way your wee one arrives! I've loved watching you thru your pregnancy. I'm sure you've made so many other expecting moms relax! Thank you for sharing with us❣️😘
I lovedddd night feeds (not saying they were easy)🤣 but they were just our wee time together, so quiet, peaceful and you just take everything about them in ❤ you will surprise yourself about how much you can cope without great sleep! My little one has been great at sleeping, I still didn’t sleep tho whether he did 😂
sending you so much positive energy at this special time! there is nothing in the world like this, enjoy your beautiful bubble with your newborn and just be in the moment ❤
Honestly having your mindset is completely the way to be. I was like that, whatever happens happens as long as they are healthy it’s fine and my birth was so relaxed and luckily went smoothly ( as smooth and relaxing as pushing a baby can go 😂) but you’ll be amazing and I can’t wait to see you guys with a wee baby. I’ve been here since the start of you 2 in the flat and I just adore you both. Please don’t ever put pressure on yourself with labour/ birth or even post birth. My top tip would be right now if buy plenty of freezable meals and batch cook and freeze some stuff so for a good 2 weeks after baby girl, you aren’t thinking of doing anything just enjoying her and rest as much as you can! You’re biggest fan, all the best Jamie & Jack 💜
Love listening to you , you have your head screwed on and this baby is going to be very lucky to have you and Jack as parents , as a mom of 3 and nanny to 9 enjoy every second and do it your way hunni , much love and can’t wait to see your little family xx
So excited to watch you and Jack become parents, I feel like I know you two from watching these videos since the early days, from getting Drogba, to your first house, your engagement, the fabulous wedding, to Vieve and everything in between, it's been wonderful to watch, and now the biggest chapter of your lives is about to happen, as a Mam myself to 4 I can honestly say it's the most overwhelming, emotional, amazing experience so enjoy every single second ❤❤❤❤❤
First day back at work and this was so needed 🖤 love you Jamie x it gets tiring towards the end of pregnancy so the fact you filmed for us is flipping lovely thank you 💫...... alsoooo I spied something on your story today 👀🖤
Jamie!!! You're so precious and I am sending you, Jack, Drogba, Juno, and baby girl allllllllll the love, peaceful + grounded vibes. I could love what you said more at the end about this chapter of your life bringing things to the surface and having so many uncomfortable conversations!
I'm 28 weeks with my little miracle boy and I'm so excited to meet him 🥰 I also have to say, your hair looks like a wavy bob in this video and I'm OBSESSED- I think it would be an amazing cut on you x
Placenta encapsulation is the best!!!!! I was the exact same mind set as you. I'm entirely convinced it helped me 100000%. You obviously still have the crazy emotions, but you're not dealing with overwhelming "scary thoughts" I also used the gas during my natural birth and it was a life saver. I love your attitude towards new baby girl. You've got this 💜💜
I had my son 22 years ago, Jamie and yet I watched this as though it was just as exciting for me now, to watch you be excited (if that makes sense.) It’s a really fun time and I love your attitude, not making super rigid plans but knowing what you would like to do. That’s the best way to go into it. And you and Jack will do what works for you. That is the mantra, doing what works for your family. You guys are going to be amazing parents. Sending love to baby girl. 💕
Just had my 2cd and this time was natural and with induction and was blissssful. My #1 tip is to remember your breathing. Truly out loud saying relax as you breath through the harder surges you have to focus on breathing calm and force those tight spots to relax and they will. Stay in motion and listen to your body she knows what she's doing even when your brain thinks it doesn't 😂 if you wait until the fetal ejection response kicks in and your body just starts pushing that's the beat point and my other tip would be don't just push/breath she out also breathe in and let her come up to allow a good easy stretch, it works! Pushing is the easiest part if your bodies able to get to FER. You'll feel the most intense and emotional in transition and that's when the magic happens lean into and kiss Jack that oxytocin will do wonders! Love your content and love watching your journey ❤
This is so off topic but I saw a Vieve product featured on a HungVanNgo video and it just made me so happy for all your success and weirdly proud of how far you’ve come on your journey. I’ve also never really cared about other people’s pregnancy journey but your approach to life, and changes is just so genuine and sincere that I look forward to seeing so much more good things for you and your beautiful family. ❤ frm Atlanta.
you have a great mindset about everything, which I see the opposite of a lot. There are many women who are like "I'll break down if I have to change my plans" but you just gotta move with the punches
you’re an inspiration for taking the time to learn about the entire birth process & to have made plans, plus have backup plans, n more backup plans on top of those! i hope more people are like you! 💜🖤💚💖
I stressed myself out about getting the nursery together before my baby arrived and having everything I needed right away. And then when she was here I realised most of the stuff I stressed about having I didn’t even need right away, or even use. And her room… we still don’t use it 😅 We change her in there at night but she’s still sleeping in our bedroom at 6 months old. So don’t worry if you don’t get around to the baby room right away! Even if you do it’ll change a ton as you go too. 😊 So excited for you!! Best of luck for the birth! ❤
caught you 46 secs in! I'm so excited to hear how wonderful your baby is and I'm putting positive energy. I hope for a smooth and uncomplicated delivery. you'll be a great mom and, jack, a great dad. I am so excited for you. I have an 18 yr old but I so miss pregnancy. I loved being pregnant too. love on ya all!!
What a lucky little baby girl she will be to have you as her mum. Your have such a great attitude to everything and I know that you will slip into motherhood so well. Such an exciting time for you and your family. Lots of love penny xx
You and Jack will be amazing parents and I could not be more excited for you guys. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on all the newness and changes that the parenting journey takes you 🙂 Wishing you both the best, truly such an incredible time in your lives. Big hugs 🤗 xxx
Omg my question 😂 ❤ I’ve been here for like 10 years, I found you bc people kept saying a girl that looks like me (blonde streak) was doing makeup online and later I figured out we share a birthday too. I feel so connected to you via this weird electronic device we all use and I’m so excited for you & family. I am manifesting a smooth experience and cannot wait for updates and watching you thrive as a mom. Sending you love and light and magic. What a Taurus season this will be! ✨🐆
Oh I am soooo excited for you guys!!! Babies are truly the greatest blessing! I wish I would've filmed and documented more during and after labor at the hospital. That is such a great idea because it was definitely an out of body experience. I pray that everything goes smoothly with labor and birth(plus the 4th trimester) for you and baby girl. And can't wait to meet her and find out her name! I remember watching your videos all through my pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding my son lol(he'll be 6 in August). Love you bunches 🩷🫶🏻
So excited for you Jamie, you and jack will be the best parents. Everything changes mind set body, what’s important and what’s not. I hope your labour is as plain sailing as your pregnancy has been. I wish you all the best for baba’s arrival. 🩷 you guys x
As a midwife I always phrase it as 'birth preferences' rather than a 'birth plan', because it's great to have thoughts on way you do or don't want it to go and put things in place to adhere to this as much as possible but sometimes our bodies or our babies will dictate things to deviate from our ideal expectations. Definitely intrigued to hear your story when/if you feel ready to share it xx
A water birth sounds very "you" and I hope it all goes the way you want it too! You have such a wonderful, positive attitude to it all and I wish you all the best 🥰🖤
im in such awe of your mindset!! the best of luck in your amazing pregnancy journey and I wish for a beautiful and safe delivery 💕 Thank you for your imposter syndrome advice It’s such a lovely sentiment 🫶🏻
I''m so glad that I came across your channel a while ago. I really enjoy your videos and love how genuine your are. Wishing you and Jack all the best with this new chapter in life, you're going to kill it like you have everything else to date. I've wanted to go to Scotland before, but even more every time I watch your videos. Take care of yourself.
Your skin looks beautiful mama! I can’t wait to meet her. You & Jack will be in heaven once she’s here. Enjoy the last few weeks. It’s such a blessing. XOXO💜
I had a water birth in July and it was the best birth I could have imagined I hope when the time comes your birth all goes to plan❤️ The water helped massively as pain relief. I know you said you don’t want to see anything down there, neither did I but my partner took pictures from a birds eye view of my son coming out and looking back on it I’m glad I got to see it as it wasn’t traumatising to look at and I would have felt like I hadn’t even been in the room if it wasn’t for the photos
The feeling of true love and affection is something I cannot wait for you to feel. You’ll know what I mean as soon as you give birth ❤️ it’s been a pleasure seeing you through this journey and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you 3 😊 you and Jack are going to absolutely smash this! Take care love you xx
Love you Jamie - thanks for bringing us along and sharing so much - can’t wait to see you flourish as a family! This is helping me with my pregnancy too ❤️❤️
How wonderful to see you ! So thrilled at how well your doing ! What a beautiful mindset and outlook ! You will be the best parents xxxxx and burn is such a good quad !!! Xxxxx
You are looking wonderful Jamie and I feel so excited for you and Jack. I know that baby girl will come into an environment of so much love and I hope that her arrival is exactly what you want it to be. Sending you much love at this incredible time x
Hi, Jamie!! This was such a great Q&A!! I'm a Mom to 3 Sons, all in their 30's now. You and Jack are going to be amazing parents!! I'm sooo excited for you both!! Take care!❤️ Xx
You’re a week ahead of me currently! We’ve also got a baby girl on the way 💞 I’m wishing you and Jack and baby girl the best! I wish for a safe arrival for babe and fast healing in your postpartum journey. You got this mama!
That was one of my favorite parts of pregnancy. I would just warn people around me that I had literally zero fucks to give. I would actually surprise myself with some of the things that came out of my mouth. It was great 🤣
Make sure you get your playlist together! My baby boy decided to make an early appearance and I hadn’t even started my birthing plan, my poor husband couldn’t get the music right. All I wanted to hear was Gregory Porter but couldn’t remember his name and was going mental because he couldn’t understand who I wanted to listen to 😂 also tens machine from John Lewis in case you don’t get your water birth, life saver!!! Best of luck, so excited for you ❤
So excited for you & jack! Been following you for years & years & wee girl is so lucky to have such cool parents 💕 would love for you to do a video with jack discussing baby & how he is looking forward to fatherhood 😊xxx
Love a good ol' Q&A......so thrilled for u both that the house renos were done in time, you look so lovely and I just love your positive openness towards whichever way the "plan" goes...8)....btw, I also cannot wait to find the the most ideal clinic in Toronto to get the treatment, I'll need to go into an internet deep dive to choose the most recommended. I have undereye lines and was told that, aside from surgery, morpheus 8 would be the best way to tackle them at this point......just wish it wasn't so much $$$.....sending positive thoughts to you, jack, and baby girl....

Don’t worry about sleep deprivation- you may have a really great sleeper. Both of my girls, now 17 and about to be 14, slept through the night from the first night I brought them home. Occasionally they would wake up once, need a feeding and a changing, and they would go back down. You may get lucky too. Regardless of which path your baby girl takes, you won’t mind getting up. Newborns are magical. They are so soft. They are warm. They make the sweetest noises. They smell delicious. You would stay up for a month straight for that baby. You’ve got this. Congratulations ❤❤❤.
so excited for you both 🥹 the three of you will make such a beautiful little family ❤
This is weird.
Breast feeding didn’t work for me, so I was able to go for my Botox not too long after giving birth. When I wasn’t feeling my best, it was a nice perk up. Also, apparently Morpheus can be used on your belly to tighten skin up! I’m going to ask about it for myself. I don’t have a ton of loose skin so why the hell not
One thing I wanted to add (because I feel like it’s not talked about) is if you don’t feel that overwhelming love and bond right away don’t worry. It will come. There’s so much pressure, and with “baby blues” it can make you feel even worse. Just go easy on yourself if you don’t feel it right away is all.
Your life is going to drastically change in the sense that you'll actually know what the feeling of true love is. I am so happy for you to experience this joy.
Honestly watching you and Jack all these years, from home to home, getting new pups, Vieve….it’s actually emotional seeing you radiant and pregnant! Im so happy for you two…three ❤

I have 5 kids and just went in with minimal expectation and I’m grateful they’ve all gone smoothly. I wish one day the United States would get on board with better maternity leave. We only get 6-12 weeks at home depending on your state and coverage. I only got 2months with my baby girl. Thankful that I was able to ease back into work at least though, 1 day/week the first month, 2 the next and 3-4/week from there on out.
Watching this video while nursing my baby girl that was born on Easter morning ! Love your take on your birth plan and breast feeding and just slowing down and not worrying about anything but taking care of your babe. I’m so excited for you to meet your baby ! It’s the best feeling in the whole world 💗
I just have to say I love your attitude surrounding this pregnancy and I'm so excited for you both to welcome baby girl!!
Good luck with the last couple of weeks of pregnancy and hope your labour is magical, so excited for you to embrace motherhood it really is the most beautiful experience as I wait for my baby girl to turn 3 next month! The spring babies are the best 🥰🌸 sending all the love and positivity!
can't express how refreshing your attitude to pregnancy and birth is! I'm a student midwife and hope I can support ladies to be as informed as you! also placenta encapsulation is the best! best of luck Jamie
I really would like for you to know this nugget of help
Every baby has their own flow. They are their own individuals. So when you think of nursing just feed baby when baby needs fed. Try not to have such strict blocks of time because it leads to disappointment and baby frustrated.
I’m a mom of 3 and when I was told to nurse “on demand” it changed the game for me and everything was so much smoother
Skin to skin is such a superpower ❤ nothing better. So excited for you.
So wholesome and heartwarming to hear you talk about personal growth and what you’re excited about as a mum! I’ve been watching you for years and followed along from very early on. Biggest congratulations to you, Jack and the pups! Can’t wait to hear more of your mum journey xx
I've only just found your channel within the last few months which blows my mind! But you've quickly became one of my favourite people to watch! You have the most beautiful energy! I have a baby girl she is 16 months old now and she is just magic, wishing you all the best and so excited for you to join the journey! There's no love like it xxxxxx
The lack of sleep, as hard as it can be.. is worth it for the love we have for our baby. Seeing them smile and know they are comforted and feel safe. Adult nappies were a game changer for me for PP bleeding. Also the My Expert Midwife Spritz for Bits, felt really nice sprayed directly or on the nappy/pad for stitches etc. My birth happened relatively quickly so gas and air was my only option as when I got pethidine it was too late as baby arrived before it kicked in. And regards to the placenta pills, a friend of mine got pills and creams and it worked wonders for her eczema and other skin conditions, she felt amazing!
I hope you and the baby have a safe birth and I'm so excited for any updates from you! Going through it myself gives me a new perspective for other people.
Absolutely love your whole attitude to pregnancy,birth and parenting….go with the flow and be true to yourself as always. So excited for you and Jack and Drogba and Juno! What a cool family vibe you will have going on ! X
Im literally so excited for you and Jack! You two are going to be the best parents ever. Baby girl is so lucky to have you both! Sending you lots of love and luck for the birth ❤
You have the best mindset and you are so ready to be a fantastic mother to baby girl. I love listening to you ♥️
I had my placenta incapsulated after my first delivery and it was an absolute MUST for me. I'm 100% certain it quickly pulled me out of plunging into Post Partum Depression. It was gold! I also had a balm made that kept my daughter from having any diaper rashes, skin issues, etc. The placenta is MAGIC!
Been watching you for years and being equally as far along as you with my first baby has been so cool 🥹
Breastfeeding only got easier for me by 3 months mark..Its not hard for everyone but it was tough battled with tongue tie, bad latch. We are still going strong at 5 months and it's the best decision I made to keep going. Being out and about is the best feed anywhere and time and it's such a beautiful bond. Good luck xxx
I had a hard time breastfeeding at the start and found a support group to help. Glad I kept going too as made life easy! Ended up feeding my daughter for two years. 💕
Love this video. My baby boy came 10 days early in January. I was adamant he would be late so get prepared 😅
Something you always hear but is sooo true is, the newborn days are long as soooo tiring but try to enjoy it as it does just go. You feel like you will be in it forever but it does get better.
Enjoy all that’s to come 🩷
You've got exactly the right attitude! I've had a child (6) every way possible... except water birth! It will be what it will be! My advice is to walk as much as possible, leading up to the big day! It helps so much whichever way your wee one arrives! I've loved watching you thru your pregnancy. I'm sure you've made so many other expecting moms relax! Thank you for sharing with us❣️😘
Amazing! I’m a mom to six also 🥰
Just want to say, I love the way you’ve posted and your spirits around your pregnancy. The vibes are immaculate. 🫶🏻 wishing you the best!!
I lovedddd night feeds (not saying they were easy)🤣 but they were just our wee time together, so quiet, peaceful and you just take everything about them in ❤ you will surprise yourself about how much you can cope without great sleep! My little one has been great at sleeping, I still didn’t sleep tho whether he did 😂
sending you so much positive energy at this special time! there is nothing in the world like this, enjoy your beautiful bubble with your newborn and just be in the moment ❤
So excited for baby girl to arrive! Even more excited to see her outfits, she might be one of the best dressed wee girls! 🥰
Honestly having your mindset is completely the way to be. I was like that, whatever happens happens as long as they are healthy it’s fine and my birth was so relaxed and luckily went smoothly ( as smooth and relaxing as pushing a baby can go 😂) but you’ll be amazing and I can’t wait to see you guys with a wee baby. I’ve been here since the start of you 2 in the flat and I just adore you both.
Please don’t ever put pressure on yourself with labour/ birth or even post birth. My top tip would be right now if buy plenty of freezable meals and batch cook and freeze some stuff so for a good 2 weeks after baby girl, you aren’t thinking of doing anything just enjoying her and rest as much as you can!
You’re biggest fan, all the best Jamie & Jack 💜
Over the moon for you and Jack! You will both be amazing parents 🤍 So excited for you to embark on this new chapter 🤍
I'm due with my first in August and I've loved following your pregnancy journey. Can't wait to follow the adventures with baby girl 💕
Congratulations 🥰
Loved this video Jamie, excited to see you and Jack become parents! Also I spy cream bronzer, new eyeshadow and mascara 👀
Love listening to you , you have your head screwed on and this baby is going to be very lucky to have you and Jack as parents , as a mom of 3 and nanny to 9 enjoy every second and do it your way hunni , much love and can’t wait to see your little family xx
So excited to watch you and Jack become parents, I feel like I know you two from watching these videos since the early days, from getting Drogba, to your first house, your engagement, the fabulous wedding, to Vieve and everything in between, it's been wonderful to watch, and now the biggest chapter of your lives is about to happen, as a Mam myself to 4 I can honestly say it's the most overwhelming, emotional, amazing experience so enjoy every single second ❤❤❤❤❤
Such a humbling video! Honestly love how you’re taking it all in your stride ♥️ drogba & juno are going to be the best big siblings! X
Can feel your excitement through the screen. Love that 🫶🏻
First day back at work and this was so needed 🖤 love you Jamie x it gets tiring towards the end of pregnancy so the fact you filmed for us is flipping lovely thank you 💫...... alsoooo I spied something on your story today 👀🖤
We had a baby girl 6 days ago and in the baby bubble , you're going to love getting to know her ! Wishing you all the best XXX
Congratulations 🥰
Jamie!!! You're so precious and I am sending you, Jack, Drogba, Juno, and baby girl allllllllll the love, peaceful + grounded vibes. I could love what you said more at the end about this chapter of your life bringing things to the surface and having so many uncomfortable conversations!
I'm 28 weeks with my little miracle boy and I'm so excited to meet him 🥰 I also have to say, your hair looks like a wavy bob in this video and I'm OBSESSED- I think it would be an amazing cut on you x
Placenta encapsulation is the best!!!!! I was the exact same mind set as you. I'm entirely convinced it helped me 100000%. You obviously still have the crazy emotions, but you're not dealing with overwhelming "scary thoughts" I also used the gas during my natural birth and it was a life saver. I love your attitude towards new baby girl. You've got this 💜💜
I had my son 22 years ago, Jamie and yet I watched this as though it was just as exciting for me now, to watch you be excited (if that makes sense.) It’s a really fun time and I love your attitude, not making super rigid plans but knowing what you would like to do. That’s the best way to go into it. And you and Jack will do what works for you. That is the mantra, doing what works for your family. You guys are going to be amazing parents. Sending love to baby girl. 💕
Just had my 2cd and this time was natural and with induction and was blissssful. My #1 tip is to remember your breathing. Truly out loud saying relax as you breath through the harder surges you have to focus on breathing calm and force those tight spots to relax and they will. Stay in motion and listen to your body she knows what she's doing even when your brain thinks it doesn't 😂 if you wait until the fetal ejection response kicks in and your body just starts pushing that's the beat point and my other tip would be don't just push/breath she out also breathe in and let her come up to allow a good easy stretch, it works! Pushing is the easiest part if your bodies able to get to FER. You'll feel the most intense and emotional in transition and that's when the magic happens lean into and kiss Jack that oxytocin will do wonders! Love your content and love watching your journey ❤
Everything you said in this vlog - You are going to be a wonderful mum 🥹 best wishes to You, Jack & Baby G 🤍
This is so off topic but I saw a Vieve product featured on a HungVanNgo video and it just made me so happy for all your success and weirdly proud of how far you’ve come on your journey. I’ve also never really cared about other people’s pregnancy journey but your approach to life, and changes is just so genuine and sincere that I look forward to seeing so much more good things for you and your beautiful family. ❤ frm Atlanta.
you have a great mindset about everything, which I see the opposite of a lot. There are many women who are like "I'll break down if I have to change my plans" but you just gotta move with the punches
Such a nice videooo 😁 very excited about babygirl ! Wishing you all the best !!
you’re an inspiration for taking the time to learn about the entire birth process & to have made plans, plus have backup plans, n more backup plans on top of those! i hope more people are like you! 💜🖤💚💖
I stressed myself out about getting the nursery together before my baby arrived and having everything I needed right away. And then when she was here I realised most of the stuff I stressed about having I didn’t even need right away, or even use. And her room… we still don’t use it 😅 We change her in there at night but she’s still sleeping in our bedroom at 6 months old. So don’t worry if you don’t get around to the baby room right away! Even if you do it’ll change a ton as you go too. 😊 So excited for you!! Best of luck for the birth! ❤
caught you 46 secs in! I'm so excited to hear how wonderful your baby is and I'm putting positive energy. I hope for a smooth and uncomplicated delivery.
you'll be a great mom and, jack, a great dad. I am so excited for you.
I have an 18 yr old but I so miss pregnancy. I loved being pregnant too. love on ya all!!
What a lucky little baby girl she will be to have you as her mum. Your have such a great attitude to everything and I know that you will slip into motherhood so well. Such an exciting time for you and your family. Lots of love penny xx
I can’t wait for the foundation & cream bronzer to drop👀…but P L E A S E bring out a Skin Nova twin with SPF😭🤞🏻♥️
You're going to be that mom, the one who is the absolute realest. Fierce about her cub just like the big cats on your back tattoo. 💞Xxxxx
You and Jack will be amazing parents and I could not be more excited for you guys. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on all the newness and changes that the parenting journey takes you 🙂
Wishing you both the best, truly such an incredible time in your lives. Big hugs 🤗 xxx
Lovely video very honest very refreshing and relatable ... your wee baby girl is gona have a lovely family around her xxxx
Omg my question 😂 ❤ I’ve been here for like 10 years, I found you bc people kept saying a girl that looks like me (blonde streak) was doing makeup online and later I figured out we share a birthday too. I feel so connected to you via this weird electronic device we all use and I’m so excited for you & family. I am manifesting a smooth experience and cannot wait for updates and watching you thrive as a mom. Sending you love and light and magic. What a Taurus season this will be! ✨🐆
Oh I am soooo excited for you guys!!! Babies are truly the greatest blessing! I wish I would've filmed and documented more during and after labor at the hospital. That is such a great idea because it was definitely an out of body experience. I pray that everything goes smoothly with labor and birth(plus the 4th trimester) for you and baby girl. And can't wait to meet her and find out her name! I remember watching your videos all through my pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding my son lol(he'll be 6 in August). Love you bunches 🩷🫶🏻
It’s getting so close now! All the best hun. Can’t wait to see your little girl xx❤
So excited for you to become a mum soon! It really is the best thing when you see the cute little baba in your arms ❤
So excited for you Jamie, you and jack will be the best parents. Everything changes mind set body, what’s important and what’s not. I hope your labour is as plain sailing as your pregnancy has been. I wish you all the best for baba’s arrival. 🩷 you guys x
As a midwife I always phrase it as 'birth preferences' rather than a 'birth plan', because it's great to have thoughts on way you do or don't want it to go and put things in place to adhere to this as much as possible but sometimes our bodies or our babies will dictate things to deviate from our ideal expectations.
Definitely intrigued to hear your story when/if you feel ready to share it xx
A water birth sounds very "you" and I hope it all goes the way you want it too! You have such a wonderful, positive attitude to it all and I wish you all the best 🥰🖤
im in such awe of your mindset!! the best of luck in your amazing pregnancy journey and I wish for a beautiful and safe delivery 💕 Thank you for your imposter syndrome advice It’s such a lovely sentiment 🫶🏻
Oh my goodness...just found your channel! Such a talented woman 🤩 lovely to see a fellow Scot on here x
I''m so glad that I came across your channel a while ago. I really enjoy your videos and love how genuine your are. Wishing you and Jack all the best with this new chapter in life, you're going to kill it like you have everything else to date.
I've wanted to go to Scotland before, but even more every time I watch your videos.
Take care of yourself.
Your skin looks beautiful mama! I can’t wait to meet her. You & Jack will be in heaven once she’s here. Enjoy the last few weeks. It’s such a blessing. XOXO💜
Ahhh yes the new baby bubble! The best feeling ❤ so excited for you all!!!
I had a water birth in July and it was the best birth I could have imagined I hope when the time comes your birth all goes to plan❤️ The water helped massively as pain relief. I know you said you don’t want to see anything down there, neither did I but my partner took pictures from a birds eye view of my son coming out and looking back on it I’m glad I got to see it as it wasn’t traumatising to look at and I would have felt like I hadn’t even been in the room if it wasn’t for the photos
Does the water stay warm? I'm hoping to have a water birth too but I'm worried the water will get cold/lukewarm
@@laurengallagher2076 yeah it stays warm, if it starts to cool then they top it up with warm water. They make sure it remains at 37 degrees C
I’m in the 2nd tri with my baby girl. 🥹💓 I’m SO EXCITED for you, Jamie! You’re in the homestretch!
I’m so happy for you and Jack. I remember watching your videos before you got your lip ring❤.
The feeling of true love and affection is something I cannot wait for you to feel. You’ll know what I mean as soon as you give birth ❤️ it’s been a pleasure seeing you through this journey and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you 3 😊 you and Jack are going to absolutely smash this! Take care love you xx
Love you Jamie - thanks for bringing us along and sharing so much - can’t wait to see you flourish as a family! This is helping me with my pregnancy too ❤️❤️
How wonderful to see you ! So thrilled at how well your doing ! What a beautiful mindset and outlook ! You will be the best parents xxxxx and burn is such a good quad !!! Xxxxx
You are looking wonderful Jamie and I feel so excited for you and Jack. I know that baby girl will come into an environment of so much love and I hope that her arrival is exactly what you want it to be. Sending you much love at this incredible time x
I had a water birth with both of my boys and I absolutely loved it 🥰 my pain threshold is very low and the water really helped me loads ❤
Hi, Jamie!! This was such a great Q&A!! I'm a Mom to 3 Sons, all in their 30's now. You and Jack are going to be amazing parents!! I'm sooo excited for you both!! Take care!❤️ Xx
You’re a week ahead of me currently! We’ve also got a baby girl on the way 💞 I’m wishing you and Jack and baby girl the best!
I wish for a safe arrival for babe and fast healing in your postpartum journey. You got this mama!
Congratulations 🥰
@@simple_naildesigns thanks so so much!
Heck yes to the Polaroid camera! I’m so glad we took ours, we’ve got some beautiful shots of our girls first moments in hospital ❤
That was one of my favorite parts of pregnancy. I would just warn people around me that I had literally zero fucks to give. I would actually surprise myself with some of the things that came out of my mouth. It was great 🤣
Make sure you get your playlist together! My baby boy decided to make an early appearance and I hadn’t even started my birthing plan, my poor husband couldn’t get the music right. All I wanted to hear was Gregory Porter but couldn’t remember his name and was going mental because he couldn’t understand who I wanted to listen to 😂 also tens machine from John Lewis in case you don’t get your water birth, life saver!!! Best of luck, so excited for you ❤
Jamie, I think you have a really beautiful outlook, and it’s awesome that you are sharing your thoughts with us ❤
So excited for you & jack! Been following you for years & years & wee girl is so lucky to have such cool parents 💕 would love for you to do a video with jack discussing baby & how he is looking forward to fatherhood 😊xxx
Love a good ol' Q&A......so thrilled for u both that the house renos were done in time, you look so lovely and I just love your positive openness towards whichever way the "plan" goes...8)....btw, I also cannot wait to find the the most ideal clinic in Toronto to get the treatment, I'll need to go into an internet deep dive to choose the most recommended. I have undereye lines and was told that, aside from surgery, morpheus 8 would be the best way to tackle them at this point......just wish it wasn't so much $$$.....sending positive thoughts to you, jack, and baby girl....
