I have so much respect for you for respecting the privacy of your new little one. Don’t let people’s nasty, entitled, nosy comments get you down. You are doing a great thing. You do you! Xo
Allison Tryon totally agree. Personally I get weirded out when some people have their baby’s and then are shoving a camera in their faces right away. I don’t think it’s fair, she would have no say... keep doing what your doing Fleur!
I love this, you don't have to show your baby if you don't want to. I know a lot of people will feel entitled to see lots of the wee one just because you share some other aspects of your life, but don't feel pressured into sharing everything. It's your and your family's personal life, genuine people won't mind at all if you want to keep it that way. x
whenever you come back from maternity leave, id be interested in a video about what you actually used, what you didn't, and anything you wish you did/didnt bring with you in the baby hospital bag! i recently found out I'm pregnant so loving these videos even more than before
People are nuts. There's a difference in being excited for her and looking forward to the baby intro video (where she has said previously that will share the name,) and the anger that so many people are showing because they aren't getting their way. I'm excited to learn the baby's name, WHEN Fleur is ready. In the mean time, why can't we just be happy for her?
RIGHT. Why are people wasting their time stressing out about not knowing a babys name!!! I want to know it too, and I'll get to know it when Fleur WANTS TO share it.
I'm excited to hear her name when she's ready because I LOVE unique/different names! So I know I'm going to love it! I hope all these idiot people without lives don't discourage her from sharing 😕
morganic989 and you know of course when they finally do share the name it’s going to be those same people who complained about them not sharing it who will then leave horrible comments saying how awful the name is. People are so awful. Isn’t it enough that mom and baby are happy, healthy and doing well?!
Congratulations Fleur & Mike!!!! Please take all the time you need before giving us a intro video. Don't feel bullied into telling us anything you don't want to. The only thing that matters is that little bundle of joy. Have a wonderful time on your maternity leave, you deserve it :)
I'd love to see an update video about what you ended up using/not using from your hospital bags. Having had two babies myself I packed very differently for the second one.
I've watched Fleur since 2010 - the good old days when she was friends with tanya and Ingrid and went on trips that they were genuinely excited about and felt privileged to go on. Back then they wore and shopped for clothes that were attainable to the majority of viewers and seemed to really appreciate their following. I watched Fleur get engaged - which she shared; her wedding preparation - which she shared and even developed a second, very lucrative channel through; and recently her pregnancy announcement and preparations. As many have said, she made it very much part of her "brand" to accept and promote baby gifts from various mass market retailers, small business outlets and bespoke brands. I couldn't care less what the baby's name is and am just delighted that she arrived safely and both mum and baby seem to be doing physically well (we can never be sure about the emotional side as creators, by their own admission, primarily share the most positive snippets of their day). However, I do feel this withholding of the name has backfired somewhat as the main theme of comments on any of her videos now is just argumentative and negative - seems such a shame for what should be first and foremost a celebration of new life!
For all who are freaking out, Fleur said in a comment below that the baby name reveal video will go up next Sunday. Everyone can wait 'til then I'm sure. :)
To anyone trying to play "devil's advocate" about the nasty comments with the argument of "We made her popular by watching her videos and being interested in her life. Ok, I suppose it's a fair point to bring up, and I see where you're coming from, especially as someone who started watching Fleur's vlogs first and then her main channel videos. HOWEVER, Fleur chose to put her life on YT. Mike chose to be in her videos. Each of their family members have chosen to be in or to opt out of her vlogs. There are some family we see from time to time, like some of their siblings or Fleur's parents, and other siblings, friends, and parents (have we ever seen Mike's parents?) who have opted out. All of the adults have made a choice. Her baby can't make that choice. I'm not sure how I'd feel if I'd grown up and had all of my childhood plastered on the internet. So saying, "she's so popular because we made her that way", doesn't extend to having any information or pictures of the baby that we want. Fleur said a number of days ago on Instagram that she was waiting to share the name for a bit because it's an unconventional name and she didn't want to deal with any nasty comments while she was still recovering from the birth and dealing with hormones. Which is perfectly fair. At the end of the day, whether someone agrees with her choice to keep quite about the name for awhile or not, it's not about us. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. A little compassion goes a long way. And it's really easy.
I wholeheartedly agree with your comments! I'm really pleased and respect Fleur even more (if that's at all possible! ) for doing this incredibly personal segment of her and her family's life her way, as she and they want! i for one would have been quite perturbed if she'd been any different in connection to this moment in her/their lives and it's been awful to even me, not her, to read some of the comments on here! Fleur's said there's going to be a new video up on Sunday and that's plenty early enough for us to wait for it being that the little one will be a month old that day (I'm not creepy, it's just I remember she was born the day before my daughter's birthday!). xx
Well said! She doesn’t have to share anything with us! That’s 100% her choice to make. I understand why people are eager to know more, so am I but we have to be respectful of Fleur and Mikes choices! Also people need to understand that she has a LOT of followers, and showing your baby off to that many people is probably a very strange feeling! X
Fleur filmed this before she gave birth , Therefore hasn't done a 'baby reveal' she had this ready to upload after the birth. As a RUclips she is entitled to have maternity leave. Why does the name bother people so much , it's not going to change your life not knowing. I respect fleur for keeping it all private and enjoying life as a family of 3! Xx
C Xxxx agree it’s a child’s name of a couple in another country that none of us have met or are related to. If Fleur and Mike chose not to reveal her name or face to strangers that’s their decision as her parents.
I agree you with you totally but im just confused as to why they chose to keep the name a secret. I get not showing the baby on camera bc obviously thats for privacy. But a name's just a name tho. Is shr scared other people wont like the name? & if thats the case, who cares if other people dont like it...
she said its a "unique" name and had also said before that she likes boys names for girls. I think she knows people aren't going to like it and doesn't want to get hate comments because of it.
Christie Periman honestly I love boys names on girls and while I’m excited to know, I’m prepared to wait and give Mike and Fleur as much time as they need.
Omg thanks for the like firstly fleur !! And who knows why they are keeping it private , sometimes for youtubers it's nice just to keep some things private like some do when they get into new relationships !!
When you get back into filming, can you do a video of things you did and did not use in the end? It would be interesting and helpful to know what you and the baby did use while what you didn't need to pack!
Thank you for protecting your little one’s privacy, Fleur!!! I wish all people would do this! You, the precious little one, and Mike are in my thoughts and prayers. May all go well for you and only good things happen in your new life with your special new baby! Xo
I really hope you don't take these ugly comments from internet bullies to heart. You don't owe anyone anything, honestly if I were you I'd just be petty and block them, that way they won't have to worry about when you do what! Just stay healthy and do what you need to do!
Congratulations to you and Mike. The first few weeks is a mass of emotions and getting to grips being a new mummy is challenging for the first few months or so. Take your time, get used to each other and when your ready we look forward to seeing you all x
Not being funny or anything but i hope they never share her name, its their baby and their life, only THEY are entiltled to share whatever they feel comfortable sharing, and ,those of us with common sense dont mind. Im quite happy calling her Baby de Force 😅😍😍😍😍 congrats Fleur!
I saw a comment a while ago being nasty to you about having a c section instead of natural birth, it pissed me off because it’s pure ignorance. I know if I ever have a child I have no choice but c section because I have an issue with my hips and pelvis and giving birth naturally would be impossible for me, so the fact people think it’s ok to abuse others for having a c section really annoys me, it’s your choice and if you have a medical condition which makes natural birth risky then c section is better for both mother and child and even if it’s just down to anxiety, then it’s a better option as I have severe anxiety and know how bad the effects of it can make you very ill. It’s also NOT the easy option, it’s a fact that you recover quicker from natural birth than c section, no one would willingly chose a huge operation without truly thinking about it, I’m commenting this because I’m sick of peoples ignorance surrounding c sections, how someone else gives birth is none of your business and the mother does NOT have to give details on why they chose the birth they did, as long as mother and baby are safe and healthy, why do people care so much Also people being nasty and demanding the name to be revealed need to stop it, it’s fleur and mikes child THEY will release the name IF and WHEN they choose, stop acting like toddlers, grow up and just be happy that fleur and the baby are safe, well and bonding
Jennie Wright, seriously. Giving birth is giving birth no matter how it is done! My gosh. Each woman that has given birth has gone through the entire pregnancy creating another human being. The way the baby comes in to the world shouldn’t matter to anyone at all and in my mind it doesn’t. Also, I DESPISE the term “ natural birth” as it is completely subjective and cannot truly be defined medically. It’s a generic and broadly used term that has no singular meaning. A woman gives birth via Cesarean section or vaginally. That’s it. Okay, getting down from my soap box now 😊😂
This needed to be said and I'm very glad somebody did. Nobody should even care about how somebody gives birth to their child, let alone shame anybody for the way they choose to do it/have to do it. Having a MAJOR operation with weeks of recovery time is in no way "easier" than a vaginal birth, nor have you "done better" or been "more successful" if you've had a vaginal birth. Women should be supporting each other, not criticising each other for things that are completely irrelevant and unimportant. Clearly the people who've been so ignorant and rude about this are insecure about their own births or pregnancies, or just in themselves.
Honestly!!! women can be SO horrible to each other about pregnancy, giving birth, and raising their children in general. It’s really awful. Mind your own business. The child is not being hurt. How about you support other women instead on constantly belittling each other. Shesh
Jennie Wright I had a cesarean for my second child and the number of women who gave me a hard time, criticized me (in public) and tried to make me feel bad, was incredible. And I found myself constantly having to defend myself by explaining the (very valid) medical reasons. Then those people would condescendingly say 'that's OK then' as if I needed their approval/validation in making a decision that affected my body and my family. It makes me angry when women are critical of other women and judge them for their choices. What was the point of women's liberation if we were only going to replace overbearing men with judgemental women telling us what to do with ourselves. I was young at the time and having a baby is an emotional rollercoaster. And I was not strong enough to put those people in their place. I would love to see them criticize me now...I would give it to them! Listen to your body's ladies and make a decision that suits you and your family, and don't listen to those judgemental know-it-alls.
Jenny M great comment, my brother and I were both c-section babies, my brother an emergency one. I have no issue with being ‘not of women born’ as Shakespeare would put it, and I don’t think any children have any issue with being born alive and healthy. I think the current obsession with women being shamed for not having vaginal births is a stupid one. If I have kids I may have to have Caesarion sections and that’s fine, I’ll have healthy children and that’s kind of more important than however they come out of my womb.
Congratulations fleur and mike, such an informative video and I hope you’re all doing well. To all those that are banging on about the baby’s name, it’s not in a contract that she has to disclose her baby or her baby’s name. She could go the rest of her RUclips career and not include her child if she doesn’t want to because it’s her life, her channel, and everyone is entitled to privacy. So be respectful?
If people would actually listen to Fleur she did explain that she would be uploading pre recorded content for those of you that need reminding she is on maternity leave . Baby name I can wait Im looking forward to the reveal when she is ready
Love the updates you've put together! You've struck the perfect balance of being extremely generous and keeping us in the loop but also keeping some things private for yourself, Mike and your little girl :) Thank you for how much you do!
Who else appreciates these regular videos from Fleur? Even though we would completely understand if she took a month or so off just to enjoy her new baby. 🍼💕 xx
People in the comments thinking they have some kind of rights to the baby.....It really annoys me because 1. You have ZERO rights to her baby! 2. If you keep complaining about the baby's name Mike and Fleur may decide to keep everything about her private.
Straw Berry yes but she didnt buy it lol this is not makeup. Having a baby is waaaayyyy too personal and private. We are spoil enough with others vloggers
Congratulations to you and Mike for your baby! Enjoy your time and remember that your little one is what matters here! Not the negative people that can't be happy themselves and have to spread hate on others. Bless you and your family!🙆🎉🐕
Okay but does anyone rememer the vlog (Tanya's or Zoe's?) where Mike proposed to her? Cuz I am emotional rn. I've been a subscriber for such a long time. I feel like I grew with Fleur seeing her getting married, getting pregnant, having a baby. Congratulations to the newly parents!! ❤❤
Amanda Harris ikr. It sounds so foolish but I do feel like they are my friends. Well, I do run to their videos for comfort like to a real-life friend anyway 😅
Even as someone that has no idea what motherhood is like, even I can get why she doesn’t want to make a thing of the name so soon. “Ooooh I’m unsubscribing “ oh yes, I forgot your subscription is so precious 😂 she’s a first time mother for Christ sakes there’s enjoyment with baby to be had
Great video! Do you think you could do an update video where you tell us what was actually useful or not to bring, what you wish you have brought etc... in your bag and in the baby's bag? or maybe in a vlog? Thank you!
Why the hate,seriously,they have just had a baby,there bonding with her,as a mum these first weeks,months and years are so important,mine are teenagers now so definitely no more babies for me,but have followed you from the beginning,hope your recovering well,I had 2 c.sections,hope your all doing well xx
I can imagine that you & mike are enjoying your sweet little one. Time goes so quickly the first year so enjoy every little bit of it & don’t worry about what anyone says. Life is way too short to worry over unimportant things. I look forward to “meeting” her. Congrats again to you & Mike! Hugs, Summer xo🎠🎀💝👶🏻
Still so happy for you fleur! 💗😊 it feels like I’ve been watching you forever and now you are a mom! You continue to inspire me in life and here on RUclips with my own channel! Xo
Fleur you probably know this already but I've had 3 children in 20 years and never knew! Baby vests that crossover on the shoulders....there is apparently a reason for that. When they do 'that nappy' and you just don't know how you are going to get the vest off. Instead of taking it off over their head you can pull it down their body the shoulder flap allows this to be done easily....if only I had known lol xx
I’m very excited to wait to hear the name since Fleur said she’s so worried about people judging her daughters unique name. I really trust Fleur and Mike to have an awesome name picked out!
Just to counter balance the entitled, nasty comments this video is already getting - this is adorable and a lovely idea that I hope worked perfectly for you. Take your time and enjoy these early weeks with your daughter!
Kristin Cook Just to play Devils Advocate, I think a lot of people just find it a bit silly not sharing her name unless it is for views. I can understand not showing the baby and keeping her completely private if that's what they decide, but if they already have a name, I think some people might find this a bit odd.
She said on Instagram that the babies name is an unconventional name and she knows there will be people telling her they hate it and criticizing it, and she doesn't want to deal with that for the first little bit, especially with how emotional she is after giving birth. And just judging by some viewers responses to not even hearing a name, it's probably a very good decision.
Fleur these videos must be weird to watch back, as she’s here now, but they will be great memories. Hope you, Mike and the baby are doing well. She is adorable. Xx
Oh she is so precious i hope you and mike are floating on cloud nine right now. Again all the love and blessings for your baby. Cannot wait to know her name
Men need the help! I did the same with my baby bag.. packed and labelled everything for him! Including snacks for us when baby slept and we had a moment free in peace in the hospital. Ahh I miss those days and mine is only 8.5 months!!! Such a lovely time! So precious! Best wishes to everyone pregnant, mums, mums to be or not! Ahh the love 💕!!!!
Fleur, I am so excited and happy for you and Mike! This video is so fun to watch - I love hearing you wonder about what it will be like, what you are unsure about, and all the reading you're doing, because I feel like I will be the same way when I get pregnant one day! You'll be an amazing mom. Thank you for sharing some of your journey.
Congrats again Fleur! Tbh, I kind of don't want you to tell us her name anymore, since everyone is being so ridiculous about it. It's your decision and as long as you're happy with that decision is all that matters. Love you and always wishing you and your little family all the best ❤️
Hope you and the baby are doing well Fleur!! Loving these types of videos, and I'm sure you and Mike are already making wonderful parents :) can't wait to see more updates! x
I hope you are well. I check every day to see if there is an update. Congratulations on your new baby❤️❤️. Get rest when you can and enjoy every beautiful moment with your little Princess ☺️
Lovely video Fleur, really happy for you and Mike on the birth of your daughter. Ignore the stupid comments, people seem to think they are entitled to know every detail of your private life, the people who have followed you for a long time know you aren’t keeping the name for views. Enjoy the private time you are having with your daughter x
Why are so many of you so pressed over this whole name thing?? What does it matter to you what her name is? I'm just baffled by this hate towards a fresh, first time mother. Fleur and Mike has always been private with their personal life, so this shouldn't really come as a shock to anyone. Let them have this time in peace, and take your negativity elsewhere.
She said on Instagram that the babies name is an unconventional name and she knows there will be people telling her they hate it and criticizing it, and she doesn't want to deal with that for the first little bit, especially with how emotional she is after giving birth. And just judging by some viewers responses to not even hearing a name, it's probably a very good decision.
Maybe because the name she chooses for her child shouldn't be dictated by responses from strangers on the internet??? it's an incredibly emotional time for both her and Mike, and she just isn't ready to be that vulnerable yet. Don't you have any compassion?
Compassion for what exactly? Did her child die? LOL Her child's name is not being dictated by strangers since she already chose the name... God, I hate fanatics like you.
Hey! How strange is it to watch this back and look back at yourself as a non mum? I did not have videos but millions of posts in my baby groups and I look back now and giggle at all the things I packed haha! It’s so exciting these first few weeks and so hard too.. take your time with whatever you want to share, especially her name! I’ve always thought Peta.. that’s my friends name and what I think of when I guessing but probably totally wrong! Take care xx
I'm due in 3 weeks with my second baby and I appreciate this video! I love watching What's In My Hospital Bags and you have been my favorite RUclipsr for a few years now! Congratulations and I hope these nasty commenters aren't getting you down. People don't realize how fragile new mom's are emotionally, it's so incredibly rude of them. Love your videos and I hope you and baby are well💞
Omg these comments are ridiculous. Fleur, if you don't want to share the name please don't. The ones getting angry about this are probably 12 years old because I can't imagine an adult making such a big deal out of a name. I wish you the best of luck with your beautiful little family.
Oh Fleur, I’m so sorry for the negativity in the comment section! I’m here to support you and to say you do what you feel is right for you and your family! All the love!xx
I love this video! I wish o had watched more that were specifically for cesarean sections because I ended up having one and I didn't have enough things with which made the hospital stay a bit complicated! I think you did a fabulous job packing your hospital bags!
Everything you packed is so gorgeous! It’s funny how different the process of having a baby in hospital is in the U.S. though. Here the hospital provides diapers for as long as you’re there and many don’t let you dress the baby in non-hospital clothes until you bring them home.
Hi Fleur! Warm wishes and congratulations from Texas for you, Mike, and your new baby girl! Y'all deserve all the happiness and joy your baby brings to you both! Thank you for being amazing role model for me over the years - I am sure you and Mike will both be excellent role models for your baby girl! Congratulations again to your whole family!
Since you have given birth I’ve found out I’m expecting, I’ve been watching your pregnancy vlogs from the beginning without having any kids and now I’m watching knowing I’m going to be a mumma 😊 Still very early but so excited. Now I’ll need to watch all the videos again hehe x
With my 3rd baby I literally turned up with a carrier bag, and It wasn’t even full. Left 6 hours later so it was fine. So precious with your 1st baby, wish I could do it all again xx
FFS people. Stop being so entitled. It is her baby and she can decide what she wants to share if anything. You have no right to know everything because you are 'fans' and she will tell you her name if and when she wishes. Fleur's content is about beauty, fashion and some lifestyle bits and bobs. If you are a fan then respect her choice, if not, kindly sodd off.
currently packing (and unpacking and repacking) my hospital bag at the moment and i am obsessed with these what's in my hospital bag videos, thanks for your impeccable timing haha x
Honestly watching your baby videos has made me a little broody!! She’s is so precious, I hope your doing well too, I think people don’t realise what major surgery a C section is, so I hope your getting your rest too (as much as you can with a new born baby). 😘😘
congrats !!!im so happy for you and mike so glad to hear you and your baby are well !!! ignore those nasty comments its youre private life they have no say in your decision s !😑😤 both of you are going to be brilliant parents ! xxxxx😘😘😍💟
Thank you for sharing useful tips I shall use in the future! I hope you’re doing well and it’s awfully brave of you going through with a c section, I commend you!! I’m over the moon about Sunday’s video and from what I can infer from little snippets, she is so beautiful and healthy-looking💗
Sending lots of love to you, Mike & baby girl - fur babies too!! Hope you are enjoying your first few weeks of being a mommy. Excited to "meet" your daughter, when you are ready.
Those baby grows are so adorable!! 💕💕 I’ve had so much fun watching this journey, and am loving the snippets of this new chapter!! Can’t wait for her big introduction! 💕
My husband and I have been married for over 13 years now and we miscarried twice but also know that children ultimately isn’t what we want after thinking long and hard about it. I can’t have children and we know the prospect of children though is still just a “I guess would be nice” but not a “need to have”. So yeah...not plans on having children but oh my god I have been so excitedly following along all of the videos and am just so happy for you both!!
I am curious as to what you use of the items in yours and the baby's bag. Good luck and God Bless your little family. I would also love to know how the dogs and cats reacted to her when you brought her home. I understand if you don't want to show her yet. That's your decision. But I do look forward to seeing the next video and see how everyone is fairing. Much love.J
I'm so happy for you and Mike! I've been watching your videos since the beginning, and I remember when you first introduced Mike, and now we're here! It feels like I've grown up with you in a way lol. Ignore all the hate towards you not revealing her name, or much about her. She's your baby, and you can share what you like. Another youtuber on here (Rachlloves) doesn't really share anything of her children, because she believes they should make the choice for themselves if they want to be on the internet. You and Mike do you, and ignore the haters. Just trust that there are true supporters out there who are happy, understand, and respect your decisions 💗
I have so much respect for you for respecting the privacy of your new little one. Don’t let people’s nasty, entitled, nosy comments get you down. You are doing a great thing. You do you! Xo
Allison Tryon totally agree. Personally I get weirded out when some people have their baby’s and then are shoving a camera in their faces right away. I don’t think it’s fair, she would have no say... keep doing what your doing Fleur!
I love this, you don't have to show your baby if you don't want to. I know a lot of people will feel entitled to see lots of the wee one just because you share some other aspects of your life, but don't feel pressured into sharing everything. It's your and your family's personal life, genuine people won't mind at all if you want to keep it that way. x
Science with Katie agree
We wish you and baby the best. Joan and Keith Bates
whenever you come back from maternity leave, id be interested in a video about what you actually used, what you didn't, and anything you wish you did/didnt bring with you in the baby hospital bag! i recently found out I'm pregnant so loving these videos even more than before
Haylie congratulations! Xxx
Thank you!
Me too .... aaahhh !!
People are nuts. There's a difference in being excited for her and looking forward to the baby intro video (where she has said previously that will share the name,) and the anger that so many people are showing because they aren't getting their way. I'm excited to learn the baby's name, WHEN Fleur is ready. In the mean time, why can't we just be happy for her?
morganic989 You're so right. People are ridiculous. Fleur does not owe anyone anything. Jeez, show some class and respect her wishes, right?
RIGHT. Why are people wasting their time stressing out about not knowing a babys name!!! I want to know it too, and I'll get to know it when Fleur WANTS TO share it.
I'm excited to hear her name when she's ready because I LOVE unique/different names! So I know I'm going to love it! I hope all these idiot people without lives don't discourage her from sharing 😕
morganic989 and you know of course when they finally do share the name it’s going to be those same people who complained about them not sharing it who will then leave horrible comments saying how awful the name is. People are so awful. Isn’t it enough that mom and baby are happy, healthy and doing well?!
Amanda Harris sadly I think you’ll be right :(
Congratulations Fleur & Mike!!!!
Please take all the time you need before giving us a intro video. Don't feel bullied into telling us anything you don't want to. The only thing that matters is that little bundle of joy. Have a wonderful time on your maternity leave, you deserve it :)
I'd love to see an update video about what you ended up using/not using from your hospital bags. Having had two babies myself I packed very differently for the second one.
I'm 17, not pregnant and I have an exam tomorrow. WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?
Annabel Goodby good luck to your exam 😃
Same, same...
16 but yeah... same.
Same got an exam tomorrow 😅😅
Same girl 😝
I've watched Fleur since 2010 - the good old days when she was friends with tanya and Ingrid and went on trips that they were genuinely excited about and felt privileged to go on. Back then they wore and shopped for clothes that were attainable to the majority of viewers and seemed to really appreciate their following. I watched Fleur get engaged - which she shared; her wedding preparation - which she shared and even developed a second, very lucrative channel through; and recently her pregnancy announcement and preparations. As many have said, she made it very much part of her "brand" to accept and promote baby gifts from various mass market retailers, small business outlets and bespoke brands.

For all who are freaking out, Fleur said in a comment below that the baby name reveal video will go up next Sunday. Everyone can wait 'til then I'm sure. :)
can't wait!
Should be the 28th because she posted this on the 21st. Hopefully she will comment here if I am wrong.
Terry Fischer it’s Blair!❣️
To anyone trying to play "devil's advocate" about the nasty comments with the argument of "We made her popular by watching her videos and being interested in her life. Ok, I suppose it's a fair point to bring up, and I see where you're coming from, especially as someone who started watching Fleur's vlogs first and then her main channel videos. HOWEVER, Fleur chose to put her life on YT. Mike chose to be in her videos. Each of their family members have chosen to be in or to opt out of her vlogs. There are some family we see from time to time, like some of their siblings or Fleur's parents, and other siblings, friends, and parents (have we ever seen Mike's parents?) who have opted out. All of the adults have made a choice. Her baby can't make that choice. I'm not sure how I'd feel if I'd grown up and had all of my childhood plastered on the internet. So saying, "she's so popular because we made her that way", doesn't extend to having any information or pictures of the baby that we want. Fleur said a number of days ago on Instagram that she was waiting to share the name for a bit because it's an unconventional name and she didn't want to deal with any nasty comments while she was still recovering from the birth and dealing with hormones. Which is perfectly fair. At the end of the day, whether someone agrees with her choice to keep quite about the name for awhile or not, it's not about us. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. A little compassion goes a long way. And it's really easy.
agree people are being a bit creepy talking about looking up the baby's birth records
I wholeheartedly agree with your comments! I'm really pleased and respect Fleur even more (if that's at all possible! ) for doing this incredibly personal segment of her and her family's life her way, as she and they want! i for one would have been quite perturbed if she'd been any different in connection to this moment in her/their lives and it's been awful to even me, not her, to read some of the comments on here! Fleur's said there's going to be a new video up on Sunday and that's plenty early enough for us to wait for it being that the little one will be a month old that day (I'm not creepy, it's just I remember she was born the day before my daughter's birthday!). xx
Well said! She doesn’t have to share anything with us! That’s 100% her choice to make. I understand why people are eager to know more, so am I but we have to be respectful of Fleur and Mikes choices! Also people need to understand that she has a LOT of followers, and showing your baby off to that many people is probably a very strange feeling! X
JeSuisJusteMoi well said xx
👏👏👏👏 people need to respect her choices and privacy
Fleur filmed this before she gave birth , Therefore hasn't done a 'baby reveal' she had this ready to upload after the birth. As a RUclips she is entitled to have maternity leave. Why does the name bother people so much , it's not going to change your life not knowing. I respect fleur for keeping it all private and enjoying life as a family of 3! Xx
C Xxxx agree it’s a child’s name of a couple in another country that none of us have met or are related to. If Fleur and Mike chose not to reveal her name or face to strangers that’s their decision as her parents.
I agree you with you totally but im just confused as to why they chose to keep the name a secret. I get not showing the baby on camera bc obviously thats for privacy. But a name's just a name tho. Is shr scared other people wont like the name? & if thats the case, who cares if other people dont like it...
she said its a "unique" name and had also said before that she likes boys names for girls. I think she knows people aren't going to like it and doesn't want to get hate comments because of it.
Christie Periman honestly I love boys names on girls and while I’m excited to know, I’m prepared to wait and give Mike and Fleur as much time as they need.
Omg thanks for the like firstly fleur !! And who knows why they are keeping it private , sometimes for youtubers it's nice just to keep some things private like some do when they get into new relationships !!
When you get back into filming, can you do a video of things you did and did not use in the end? It would be interesting and helpful to know what you and the baby did use while what you didn't need to pack!
Thank you for protecting your little one’s privacy, Fleur!!! I wish all people would do this! You, the precious little one, and Mike are in my thoughts and prayers. May all go well for you and only good things happen in your new life with your special new baby! Xo
I really hope you don't take these ugly comments from internet bullies to heart. You don't owe anyone anything, honestly if I were you I'd just be petty and block them, that way they won't have to worry about when you do what! Just stay healthy and do what you need to do!
Congratulations to you and Mike. The first few weeks is a mass of emotions and getting to grips being a new mummy is challenging for the first few months or so. Take your time, get used to each other and when your ready we look forward to seeing you all x
Not being funny or anything but i hope they never share her name, its their baby and their life, only THEY are entiltled to share whatever they feel comfortable sharing, and ,those of us with common sense dont mind. Im quite happy calling her Baby de Force 😅😍😍😍😍 congrats Fleur!
Agreed, I'm happy to keep calling her Baby De Force!
I saw a comment a while ago being nasty to you about having a c section instead of natural birth, it pissed me off because it’s pure ignorance. I know if I ever have a child I have no choice but c section because I have an issue with my hips and pelvis and giving birth naturally would be impossible for me, so the fact people think it’s ok to abuse others for having a c section really annoys me, it’s your choice and if you have a medical condition which makes natural birth risky then c section is better for both mother and child and even if it’s just down to anxiety, then it’s a better option as I have severe anxiety and know how bad the effects of it can make you very ill. It’s also NOT the easy option, it’s a fact that you recover quicker from natural birth than c section, no one would willingly chose a huge operation without truly thinking about it, I’m commenting this because I’m sick of peoples ignorance surrounding c sections, how someone else gives birth is none of your business and the mother does NOT have to give details on why they chose the birth they did, as long as mother and baby are safe and healthy, why do people care so much
Also people being nasty and demanding the name to be revealed need to stop it, it’s fleur and mikes child THEY will release the name IF and WHEN they choose, stop acting like toddlers, grow up and just be happy that fleur and the baby are safe, well and bonding
Jennie Wright, seriously. Giving birth is giving birth no matter how it is done! My gosh. Each woman that has given birth has gone through the entire pregnancy creating another human being. The way the baby comes in to the world shouldn’t matter to anyone at all and in my mind it doesn’t. Also, I DESPISE the term “ natural birth” as it is completely subjective and cannot truly be defined medically. It’s a generic and broadly used term that has no singular meaning. A woman gives birth via Cesarean section or vaginally. That’s it. Okay, getting down from my soap box now 😊😂
This needed to be said and I'm very glad somebody did. Nobody should even care about how somebody gives birth to their child, let alone shame anybody for the way they choose to do it/have to do it. Having a MAJOR operation with weeks of recovery time is in no way "easier" than a vaginal birth, nor have you "done better" or been "more successful" if you've had a vaginal birth. Women should be supporting each other, not criticising each other for things that are completely irrelevant and unimportant.
Clearly the people who've been so ignorant and rude about this are insecure about their own births or pregnancies, or just in themselves.
Honestly!!! women can be SO horrible to each other about pregnancy, giving birth, and raising their children in general. It’s really awful. Mind your own business. The child is not being hurt. How about you support other women instead on constantly belittling each other. Shesh
Jennie Wright
I had a cesarean for my second child and the number of women who gave me a hard time, criticized me (in public) and tried to make me feel bad, was incredible.
And I found myself constantly having to defend myself by explaining the (very valid) medical reasons. Then those people would condescendingly say 'that's OK then' as if I needed their approval/validation in making a decision that affected my body and my family.
It makes me angry when women are critical of other women and judge them for their choices. What was the point of women's liberation if we were only going to replace overbearing men with judgemental women telling us what to do with ourselves.
I was young at the time and having a baby is an emotional rollercoaster. And I was not strong enough to put those people in their place. I would love to see them criticize me now...I would give it to them!
Listen to your body's ladies and make a decision that suits you and your family, and don't listen to those judgemental know-it-alls.
Jenny M great comment, my brother and I were both c-section babies, my brother an emergency one. I have no issue with being ‘not of women born’ as Shakespeare would put it, and I don’t think any children have any issue with being born alive and healthy. I think the current obsession with women being shamed for not having vaginal births is a stupid one. If I have kids I may have to have Caesarion sections and that’s fine, I’ll have healthy children and that’s kind of more important than however they come out of my womb.
The thumbnail just melted my heart❤Congratulations to both of you ❤she's just adorable😚May Almighty bless her
Congratulations fleur and mike, such an informative video and I hope you’re all doing well. To all those that are banging on about the baby’s name, it’s not in a contract that she has to disclose her baby or her baby’s name. She could go the rest of her RUclips career and not include her child if she doesn’t want to because it’s her life, her channel, and everyone is entitled to privacy. So be respectful?
Kira Davidson great comment
If people would actually listen to Fleur she did explain that she would be uploading pre recorded content for those of you that need reminding she is on maternity leave . Baby name I can wait Im looking forward to the reveal when she is ready
Love the updates you've put together! You've struck the perfect balance of being extremely generous and keeping us in the loop but also keeping some things private for yourself, Mike and your little girl :) Thank you for how much you do!
Thanks for this sweet comment lovely :) xo
Who else appreciates these regular videos from Fleur? Even though we would completely understand if she took a month or so off just to enjoy her new baby. 🍼💕 xx
I'm a bit confused - where's the supposed barrage of negative comments? Have they been removed?
Much love to you (Fleur) & Mike & sweet little baby DeForce, hope you're all enjoying your time off! ❤️
People in the comments thinking they have some kind of rights to the baby.....It really annoys me because 1. You have ZERO rights to her baby! 2. If you keep complaining about the baby's name Mike and Fleur may decide to keep everything about her private.
Ashley Ragsdale .
Onision's kid is all private cuz of this nasty subs :/ it's horrible but i hope She's safe, i don't care about the name tbh.
Obviously she has this job because of US
Straw Berry yes but she didnt buy it lol this is not makeup. Having a baby is waaaayyyy too personal and private. We are spoil enough with others vloggers
Straw Berry yes she does but she is in NO WAY obligated to share her child with us. Her child is not make up, clothing or accessories.
Congratulations to you and Mike for your baby! Enjoy your time and remember that your little one is what matters here! Not the negative people that can't be happy themselves and have to spread hate on others. Bless you and your family!🙆🎉🐕
I hope you’re well and enjoying these first precious weeks. Ignore all the nastiness on here. Sending you lots of love. 💋
I can’t believe it’s almost a month since the baby arrived! Time is going by so fast! 😭 enjoy every second with her while she’s a teeny baby! 🤗🤗🤗
I’ve been watching you for years and I am so so happy for you! Glad you are taking time to bond with your baby girl and focus on family. ❤️
Okay but does anyone rememer the vlog (Tanya's or Zoe's?) where Mike proposed to her? Cuz I am emotional rn. I've been a subscriber for such a long time. I feel like I grew with Fleur seeing her getting married, getting pregnant, having a baby. Congratulations to the newly parents!! ❤❤
Maruska Tieu RIGHT?!?! 😭😍
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one! I feel like I’ve watched one of my friends get married and have a baby!!
Amanda Harris ikr. It sounds so foolish but I do feel like they are my friends. Well, I do run to their videos for comfort like to a real-life friend anyway 😅
I would love to watch the vlog he proposed! Does anyone know whose it was?? And what it's called
Kristy Morrison they were in LA iirc, and I think it was maybe 4 years ago.
Even as someone that has no idea what motherhood is like, even I can get why she doesn’t want to make a thing of the name so soon. “Ooooh I’m unsubscribing “ oh yes, I forgot your subscription is so precious 😂 she’s a first time mother for Christ sakes there’s enjoyment with baby to be had
It's F&M's baby. If they wanna call her Gustav and not tell you til the kid's at uni, it's up to them. Hope you three are all having fun bonding. xx
utubey99 agree ;)
#GustavDeForce would be an awesome name!
Great video! Do you think you could do an update video where you tell us what was actually useful or not to bring, what you wish you have brought etc... in your bag and in the baby's bag? or maybe in a vlog? Thank you!
Why the hate,seriously,they have just had a baby,there bonding with her,as a mum these first weeks,months and years are so important,mine are teenagers now so definitely no more babies for me,but have followed you from the beginning,hope your recovering well,I had 2 c.sections,hope your all doing well xx
I can imagine that you & mike are enjoying your sweet little one. Time goes so quickly the first year so enjoy every little bit of it & don’t worry about what anyone says. Life is way too short to worry over unimportant things. I look forward to “meeting” her. Congrats again to you & Mike! Hugs, Summer xo🎠🎀💝👶🏻
Thanks so much Summer! We’re really enjoying this time with her 💕 xo
Fleur DeForce 💝
Still so happy for you fleur! 💗😊 it feels like I’ve been watching you forever and now you are a mom! You continue to inspire me in life and here on RUclips with my own channel! Xo
You should make a video on what you actually used in the hospital compared to what you brought with you.
Beautiful going home outfit for the baby...love neutral colors on babies. My babies were born natural and the hospital put hats on both my boys.
Fleur you probably know this already but I've had 3 children in 20 years and never knew! Baby vests that crossover on the shoulders....there is apparently a reason for that. When they do 'that nappy' and you just don't know how you are going to get the vest off. Instead of taking it off over their head you can pull it down their body the shoulder flap allows this to be done easily....if only I had known lol xx
I am curious, now that she has arrived, did you use everything you packed? Did you forgot something that you needed?
I’m very excited to wait to hear the name since Fleur said she’s so worried about people judging her daughters unique name. I really trust Fleur and Mike to have an awesome name picked out!
I love how much thought you put into everything you brought. So sweet.
Just to counter balance the entitled, nasty comments this video is already getting - this is adorable and a lovely idea that I hope worked perfectly for you. Take your time and enjoy these early weeks with your daughter!
Kristin Cook Just to play Devils Advocate, I think a lot of people just find it a bit silly not sharing her name unless it is for views. I can understand not showing the baby and keeping her completely private if that's what they decide, but if they already have a name, I think some people might find this a bit odd.
She said on Instagram that the babies name is an unconventional name and she knows there will be people telling her they hate it and criticizing it, and she doesn't want to deal with that for the first little bit, especially with how emotional she is after giving birth. And just judging by some viewers responses to not even hearing a name, it's probably a very good decision.
...and her plan is brilliant. Would do the same.
What a blessed little spoiled baby de force❤️❤️❤️❤️ can't wait to see her and finally get to know her name❤️
Such a good idea to keeping some things organized so your husband can find them for the baby!
It’s so lovely to see you so happy and I must say you are such a considered and well prepared first time Mum! You’ll be such a good Mum ❤️
I love how I don’t have a baby and am no where near to having one, but I love this!
congratulations on your beautiful little girl :) she has the best parents in the world :)
Fleur these videos must be weird to watch back, as she’s here now, but they will be great memories. Hope you, Mike and the baby are doing well. She is adorable. Xx
I've really loved seeing these videos even though I'm nowhere close to having a baby! I love seeing you so happy and excited!
Oh she is so precious i hope you and mike are floating on cloud nine right now. Again all the love and blessings for your baby. Cannot wait to know her name
I put each outfit in a little clear bag so my husband could grab a bag and I knew they would be dressed in a lovely matching outfit😂
This is an awesome idea! xo
Men need the help! I did the same with my baby bag.. packed and labelled everything for him! Including snacks for us when baby slept and we had a moment free in peace in the hospital. Ahh I miss those days and mine is only 8.5 months!!! Such a lovely time! So precious! Best wishes to everyone pregnant, mums, mums to be or not! Ahh the love 💕!!!!
Loving watching these now that you’ve had you’re little baby angel xoxo
Fleur, I am so excited and happy for you and Mike! This video is so fun to watch - I love hearing you wonder about what it will be like, what you are unsure about, and all the reading you're doing, because I feel like I will be the same way when I get pregnant one day! You'll be an amazing mom. Thank you for sharing some of your journey.
Congrats again Fleur! Tbh, I kind of don't want you to tell us her name anymore, since everyone is being so ridiculous about it. It's your decision and as long as you're happy with that decision is all that matters. Love you and always wishing you and your little family all the best ❤️
Sarah Rom well said
Ditto
YES!
I’m only 8 weeks but I have been binge watching hospital bag and also essential videos!!
Congrats lovely 💕 xx
I love to see what kind of going home outfits people chose for their new baby. So cute.
Hope you and the baby are doing well Fleur!! Loving these types of videos, and I'm sure you and Mike are already making wonderful parents :) can't wait to see more updates! x
No where close to having a baby, but if/when I do I'll definitely rewatch these videos! So helpful!
I hope you are well. I check every day to see if there is an update. Congratulations on your new baby❤️❤️. Get rest when you can and enjoy every beautiful moment with your little Princess ☺️
Mum of 3 and hands down Next babygrows are the best! The mittens are so handy and they wash so well!
Saw a couple pics on FB. The little one looks so precious and sweet! Quite a little cuddler and giving little Piggy some stiff competition.
Terry Fischer whose fb did you see
It shows up in my feed. I think all I did was click "follow" on her FB page. I don't see her private stuff just a few shared pics sometimes.
Lovely video Fleur, really happy for you and Mike on the birth of your daughter. Ignore the stupid comments, people seem to think they are entitled to know every detail of your private life, the people who have followed you for a long time know you aren’t keeping the name for views. Enjoy the private time you are having with your daughter x
Why are so many of you so pressed over this whole name thing?? What does it matter to you what her name is? I'm just baffled by this hate towards a fresh, first time mother. Fleur and Mike has always been private with their personal life, so this shouldn't really come as a shock to anyone. Let them have this time in peace, and take your negativity elsewhere.
She said on twitter that she's making a video soon announcing it. I wish she would just tell us already.
She said on Instagram that the babies name is an unconventional name and she knows there will be people telling her they hate it and criticizing it, and she doesn't want to deal with that for the first little bit, especially with how emotional she is after giving birth. And just judging by some viewers responses to not even hearing a name, it's probably a very good decision.
Why give your child an unconventional name if you can't deal with the criticism?
Maybe because the name she chooses for her child shouldn't be dictated by responses from strangers on the internet??? it's an incredibly emotional time for both her and Mike, and she just isn't ready to be that vulnerable yet. Don't you have any compassion?
Compassion for what exactly? Did her child die? LOL Her child's name is not being dictated by strangers since she already chose the name... God, I hate fanatics like you.
Hey! How strange is it to watch this back and look back at yourself as a non mum? I did not have videos but millions of posts in my baby groups and I look back now and giggle at all the things I packed haha! It’s so exciting these first few weeks and so hard too.. take your time with whatever you want to share, especially her name! I’ve always thought Peta.. that’s my friends name and what I think of when I guessing but probably totally wrong! Take care xx
Wondering if you ended up using everything you packed :) congrats!
Congratulations to fleur and mike for the baby lovely news
Adorable! 😍 & I just love how organized your baby's bag is!
I'm due in 3 weeks with my second baby and I appreciate this video! I love watching What's In My Hospital Bags and you have been my favorite RUclipsr for a few years now! Congratulations and I hope these nasty commenters aren't getting you down. People don't realize how fragile new mom's are emotionally, it's so incredibly rude of them. Love your videos and I hope you and baby are well💞
Awww thanks lovely for your sweet comment! So glad your enjoying my content :) have an awesome week! xo
Truly congratulations Fleur. I have been knowing you for a decade almost and this is the greatest news ever x Love you so much x
Hope all is well, and congratulations on Baby de Force! Relax and enjoy time off!❤️😍
Omg these comments are ridiculous. Fleur, if you don't want to share the name please don't. The ones getting angry about this are probably 12 years old because I can't imagine an adult making such a big deal out of a name. I wish you the best of luck with your beautiful little family.
And now there is a baby
Oh Fleur, I’m so sorry for the negativity in the comment section! I’m here to support you and to say you do what you feel is right for you and your family! All the love!xx
I love this video! I wish o had watched more that were specifically for cesarean sections because I ended up having one and I didn't have enough things with which made the hospital stay a bit complicated! I think you did a fabulous job packing your hospital bags!
Awww how excited you were and now she's with you 😍😍 I hope you all are doing great 💖
Everything you packed is so gorgeous! It’s funny how different the process of having a baby in hospital is in the U.S. though. Here the hospital provides diapers for as long as you’re there and many don’t let you dress the baby in non-hospital clothes until you bring them home.
Sarah Scott
We are the same. We only needed to bring 'going home clothes' for baby and lots of maternity nighties and going home clothes for me.💜
Hi Fleur! Warm wishes and congratulations from Texas for you, Mike, and your new baby girl! Y'all deserve all the happiness and joy your baby brings to you both! Thank you for being amazing role model for me over the years - I am sure you and Mike will both be excellent role models for your baby girl! Congratulations again to your whole family!
Thanks so so much for your lovely comment Melissa :) xo
This is so useful! Packing my hospital bag as we speak and up pops the notification to say you’d uploaded this 👶🏼 Congratulations! Xxx
Claire Curtis Beat of luck with your little one!
Happy for you and Mike ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️please take as much time as you need, don’t be hurry for anything
Love ❤️
You should do an update video about what was actually used from these two hospital bags!
Since you have given birth I’ve found out I’m expecting, I’ve been watching your pregnancy vlogs from the beginning without having any kids and now I’m watching knowing I’m going to be a mumma 😊 Still very early but so excited. Now I’ll need to watch all the videos again hehe x
Aww congratulations lovely! xo
With my 3rd baby I literally turned up with a carrier bag, and It wasn’t even full. Left 6 hours later so it was fine. So precious with your 1st baby, wish I could do it all again xx
FFS people. Stop being so entitled. It is her baby and she can decide what she wants to share if anything. You have no right to know everything because you are 'fans' and she will tell you her name if and when she wishes. Fleur's content is about beauty, fashion and some lifestyle bits and bobs. If you are a fan then respect her choice, if not, kindly sodd off.
currently packing (and unpacking and repacking) my hospital bag at the moment and i am obsessed with these what's in my hospital bag videos, thanks for your impeccable timing haha x
Honestly watching your baby videos has made me a little broody!! She’s is so precious, I hope your doing well too, I think people don’t realise what major surgery a C section is, so I hope your getting your rest too (as much as you can with a new born baby). 😘😘
OMG the lil baby clothes are so adorable. She is going to be a beautifully dressed 👶🏻
I’m so obsessed with them 😍 xo
Hope both you and Mike and babydeforce are doing well! 💕 xx
congrats !!!im so happy for you and mike so glad to hear you and your baby are well !!! ignore those nasty comments its youre private life they have no say in your decision s !😑😤 both of you are going to be brilliant parents ! xxxxx😘😘😍💟
Thank you for sharing useful tips I shall use in the future! I hope you’re doing well and it’s awfully brave of you going through with a c section, I commend you!! I’m over the moon about Sunday’s video and from what I can infer from little snippets, she is so beautiful and healthy-looking💗
You thought of everything! Such a well prepared mom. Great job, Fleur!
I love baby gros during the day aswell they are so sweet comfy and simple.
My baby girl is due at the end of March, these videos are perfectly timed for me! ❤️
Omg I just threw like 2 baby onesies into my bag and that was it 😂 props to you for preparedness!
Sending lots of love to you, Mike & baby girl - fur babies too!! Hope you are enjoying your first few weeks of being a mommy. Excited to "meet" your daughter, when you are ready.
Thanks so much :) xo
Aw...can’t wait to see a video with her in it!! :)
Those baby grows are so adorable!! 💕💕 I’ve had so much fun watching this journey, and am loving the snippets of this new chapter!! Can’t wait for her big introduction! 💕
My husband and I have been married for over 13 years now and we miscarried twice but also know that children ultimately isn’t what we want after thinking long and hard about it. I can’t have children and we know the prospect of children though is still just a “I guess would be nice” but not a “need to have”. So yeah...not plans on having children but oh my god I have been so excitedly following along all of the videos and am just so happy for you both!!
I am curious as to what you use of the items in yours and the baby's bag. Good luck and God Bless your little family. I would also love to know how the dogs and cats reacted to her when you brought her home. I understand if you don't want to show her yet. That's your decision. But I do look forward to seeing the next video and see how everyone is fairing. Much love.J
I'm so happy for you and Mike! I've been watching your videos since the beginning, and I remember when you first introduced Mike, and now we're here! It feels like I've grown up with you in a way lol. Ignore all the hate towards you not revealing her name, or much about her. She's your baby, and you can share what you like. Another youtuber on here (Rachlloves) doesn't really share anything of her children, because she believes they should make the choice for themselves if they want to be on the internet. You and Mike do you, and ignore the haters. Just trust that there are true supporters out there who are happy, understand, and respect your decisions 💗
So happy for you fleur. Can’t wait till the baby reveal video. I hope your feeling better since you c section.
Thanks lovely! xo
