For anyone who sees this i hope you have an amazing day and remember you are beautiful, strong and loved xx❤️
You are spreading so much love :)
Thank you for spreading good positive vibes 👍🏻💕
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So sweet!!
You're so kind! Sending love and light to you xo
I had my first baby three months ago, my suggestions would be more zip onesies (it’s bloody hard dressing a newborn!), more nappies (it’s actually about 10 a day), some coconut water will save you during labor and don’t forget to wash all of babies clothes before you leave ☺️ Good luck!!! ❤️❤️
Thanks for the tips!! xxx
My hospital provides baby care items, including nappies
I love how authentic you are Ellie. You seem so comfortable in your own skin and don’t seem to be trying to be anything else. Loving your vlogs 🌼✨ best wishes for baby ❤️
Aw thank you so much 🥰🥰
So true! I got the same feeling! You are such a nice example of women!
Yayyy loved this! So exciting how soon it’s happening! Can’t wait for baba to arrive ❤️xx
I love love love the colour palette!! Ugh so beautiful! Your baby is going to have the best outfits and parents! Soo cute! xx
I think it’s so cute to how close you are with your sister💜can’t wait to see the little Bub 💙💙💜💜
Straw cup is handy too. Good luck with everything. First baby is so special xxx
This makes me so excited to have a baby. Ellie is just the chillest pregnant woman ever!!
I’m so excited for you both! Thanks for sharing- also recently bought your first cookbook and it’s so good! Been making the jam dots heaps! 💖
Yay loved this video😍So excited it's going to happen so soon ah! Btw that lilac color looks AMAZING on you❤️
you packing snacks for Alex in your hospital bag is so cute:) I’m so excited for you🥰
I’m so excited for you’re baby. Wishing you all the best🥺🤲💓
Hey love, how exciting baby almost here! Maybe also throw in a pair of old flipflops for showering, floors might be a little yucky .. all the best for delivery and labor!
That Prada bag 😍😍😍 such a nice treat for yourself you deserve it!
Yay I’ve been waiting for this!!!
So cute! Excited for you and chickpea😍
Love your videos!! Can’t wait to meet this little baby 😍
you are honestly the cutest! I love all your videos and the calmness you spread :)
You get even more beautiful with each week! Pregnancy suits you so well! Best wishes and prayers for you and your family!
Your videos are amazing Ellie!
that purple knitted set looks so lush 😍
such an exciting video, i love all your vlogs
All the best 😍 had our little boy in January and the KEY players for us were perinial relief spray, adult diapers, & microfibre breast pads!!! So excited for you - this is the most exciting time xx
Ahhh cant wait to be preggo myself to read "Zen Mamas" !!! Loooove the actresses 🙈
I think our due dates are very close !! If you are delivery on the Gold Coast they have oil diffuser in each room already and I’ve been told to not being clary sage as it can diffuse into the ward which isn’t safe for women earlier in their pregnancy’s ! Very excited for you and watching this video as I’m 38 and still haven’t done mine haha
Another vote for elimination communication 🥰 It’s such a wonderful way to support and connect with your baby. Andrea Olsen’s resources are excellent🌟
Yeee so exciting!! ✨✨
Omg this is so exciting 😍🥰
so excited for lil chickpea!!!!!!
Oh and lip balm is a must!
I have a two months old baby! You definitely need more onsies (i had to change him 4 times the second night because he peed them all😅) and definitely more nappies, at least 10 per day! During delivery just focus on breathing and inner sensations, don’t care too much about oils and music, just listen to your body and it will be a wonderful experience! I couldn’t have my husband with me ( Milan, april, covid period) but I had a wonderful experience and no epidural at all (first baby)! sending all the love!
I love the Prada baby bag 😍😍😍 #treatyoself
I started to watch your videos to improve my English skill ☺️
Your English is so clearly and speaking speed is perfect 🙆♀️
Wishing you a peaceful and calm birth experience lovely one! I hope you get the time to wrap yourself up in your new life space with your bubba and Alex and Lauren and little Oat. Your positive vibes about the birth process is such a great example for future mamas. I bet finding out the gender will be a tiny bit like when you cut in to a cake and it has a secret filling like smarties or blueberries. Yay excited for you !💓
Aww thank you for your kind wishes xxxx
I’m so happy for you!! ❤️ you are going to be na amazing mom. Btw wich filters do you use for your videos?
My excitement is building 😊. Newborn's legs can often be really skinny chicken legs lol so you might find the shorts styles aren't the most baby flattering. Lots of onesies. Onesies rock!. And Weleda nappy cream is my number 1 go to bottom cream. Used it with all my 'babies' - I'm a Maternity nanny 😊. Also you can put aloe vera gel on damp pads and freeze them as perineum soothes. Remember to take the gel beads out of the covers if you heat the breast soothers in the microwave. Such an adventure
thank you for the tips!! xx
Omg when you kept going on about monopoly deal on your insta stories I made it my mission to find it so I could play with my family too! I had to go to over 4 shops to find it and weirdly found it at woolies but thank you so much for recommending it, I love playing it now too!! xx
haha how good is it!!! xx
Love the amount of oils you’re taking 🤣 I wish I had thought of that hahaha
Hope everything goes well! 🤎🤎
Hahaha I want all them calming tools handy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
love it xoxo
You are absolutely glowing and your baby will be the most well dressed baby ever!! Ellen Fisher recently put out a vlog on postpartum care for after labor that may be helpful to you! and I recommend Alex and your sister to read a book called The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin that will them know the best ways to support you during labor. Sending lots of love and positivity to your fam xx
This is a helpful video!
One thing I would suggest is a small dimmable touch nightlight. Helps keep it nice and dim while breastfeeding at night :) You can find a few kinds on Amazon.
Anyone else hate the noise of hands scratching or swiping the bag 😩😩 but I'm very excited for you Ellie and ive been following your sisters quarantine in the hotel room so far and can't wait for y'all to reunite!
Pack some more zippy style outfits for bub. It's hard dressing a newborn when you're first starting out. Those just make your life easier. 😊
wonderful, thanks for the tips! xx
I wish you would link or list below everything you packed. It would be super helpful! THIS is the reason people watch because they have NO idea like me!
Cute 😍
Just a suggestion with your clothing after birth maybe would be practical picking something darker because you will bleed a lot and pads don't always catch everything. Also during labor you usually end up in a bra or just a tee as you get pretty sweaty.
Cool thank you!! xx
Hello! I loveddd this video - I am so clucky!! Where did you get the couch from that is in the baby room please? I love it! 🦋🦋🦋
Yay
I am currently pregnant ans getting lots of inspo from your socials - and was wondering if you would consider doing an update on what you actually used vs what you packed? As I'm finding it hard to know what to pack xxx
Midwife here- a lot of the breastfeeding products you brought are for when your milk is in, around day 2-4. Usually it’s day 3. The haaka isn’t useful until your milk is fully in because it can’t pull the colostrum out very well. While in the hospital you just need nipple cream and nursing bras or tops. You won’t really be leaking either- although rarely someone will leak colostrum but it’s not very much. The haaka is great though. Put it on the opposite side while you breastfeed on the other side and it will help to prevent engorgement (super full painful boobs) in the beginning. Again this is once your milk is fully in. As for the shield, I so rarely use them but when I do they are great. They are really only for flat nipples or if your breasts are so full on day 3/4 that the baby can’t latch properly. Otherwise they are usually not necessary and can lower your milk supply over time so best to avoid them if you can. The heating pads again will be useful when your milk is in and your breast are full. I recommend hiring a lactation consultant when you get home as that’s when things get harder. They are so helpful. Also, no need for that large bottle. If you do get anything out from pumping it will be maybe 1 mL. You can ask them for a syringe to store it inside the fridge. You’ll love having the comfortable loungewear/ PJs. Essential oils are great too. I also like those battery operated candles for labour. They make a big different in the atmosphere. Best of luck!
Thanks for the tips :)
Elsa's Wholesome Life no problem! Of course you will figure out what works for you and it may not be exactly what I shared. You’ll do so great!
Elsa's Wholesome Life Just to clarify you definitely will breastfeed while in the hospital but the purpose of the early feeds is to bring in the milk and also to give the baby the colostrum which, even though it is in small amounts, is so good for them :). You totally got this 🙌🏼
Hey where is your gold necklace from?OBSESSED😍
Where are the perfume rollers from? They look amazing
I recommend getting some witch hazel for perineum healing on your pads, all the best beautiful girl ❤️
Ah I've heard this! Thank you xx
Flip flops for the shower is a good idea and slippers. You don’t want to walk on the hospital floors. The ick factor is high!
Your outfit where is it from, love your style! So angelic 🤍
yaaaay soooo exciting!! where did you get the fluffy tracksuit set and the pink tracksuit set from!?!
The fluffy tracksuit is from Free People and the Pink one is from my store The Wholesome Store ;)
@@ElsasWholesomeLife LOVE THEM! Cheeky wee plug! ;) Hope you are enjoying these last few weeks!! Good luck!!!!
Loving your lavender lounge wear! Where can I find it? I’m 36 weeks as well and in total need for some comfy home attire. ✌🏼🌈🌸
The lullaby club
i thought it was her store the wholesome store
where did you get that purple jumpsuit?!!? Its amazing and looks so cute!
Its by Lullaby Club xx
The bonds ribed one do you no the proper name of them can’t find them on their website
Hi the jelly toy is really cute but correct me if I rong, I believe it has plastic eyes witch are not safe for newborn baby’s.
Wishing you a safe and healthy delivery!!!! where abouts are the essential oil rollers from? cc
they're from Cleo collective xx
💗💗💗
Hi Elsa, our due dates were different by one day!! ... We had an early surprise this last weekend ..baby is here!! :)
Awww congrats!!
Hi! New viewer and expecting mama. Where is the set from you have on in this video??
I wish you a safe and healthy delivery :) have you ever heard of elimination communication? It's a method of potty training from newborn / very early on, and it's beneficial for both baby and the environment, you might be interested in it :)
took me forever to realise but you look like Owen wilson
ALSO CONGRATS AND THIS IS CUTE
Like the Male actor Owen Wilson? 🤣🤣🤣
Nice video friend, God bless you ❤️😊👍😘
Hey, just check if your allowed to take Clary Sage in to the birth suite/centre. It's not allowed in most birth wards. Good luck!
Kate E interesting 🧐 do you know why not?
I'll check! its a very small birthing suite (only 3 birth suites) so maybe its ok! but thanks for the heads up - if not ill just use it at home prior :)
My son loves that jelly cat takes him everywhere calls him bolt
Love the lavender lounge set! Where is it from? 💜🤰🏼
We stock it on our site www.thewholesome.store 💘
Does this make everyone as excited as me to have babies 😭😩
I wrote a list for my husband to help pack and leave the house for hospital and also for in hospital. When in labour you won’t be in your right mind to count out how many drops of essential oil needs to go into the diffuser etc so let your husband know how to do it all for you so you don’t have to think on the day xx
YES love this idea!
Elsa's Wholesome Life oh and husband to pack board shorts (if he ends up in the water with you) and a jumper and socks! It gets cold in the hospital 👍🏽 x best of luck it’s an amazing experience no matter how it goes. Mine totally didn’t go to ‘plan’ but at least I was empowered to make all the decisions and did the best I could.
Anyone know where she got her affirmation cards and where Lauren got hers? They’re gorgeous xo
They're calm birth affirmation cards - we are stocking them on my store soon! www.thewholesome.store
Elsa's Wholesome Life yyyayayayay can’t wait! x
Hey Ellie! Where are your birth affirmation cards from please??? Been searching and searching and can’t find them!
We've got some coming soon to The Wholesome Store!! theyre by seasons of mama
Where was the diffuser from?
I got it from Prae Store - unsure of the brand name but it’s a ceramic diffuser
I would suggest more practical clothing for Bub, more zippy onesies and not sure how cold it is for you guys it’s freezing in Melbourne Depending on the weather I would also recommend some kind of baby outerwear like a pram suit for Bub when leaving the hospital 🥶
haha we hardly get a winter here on the Gold Coast , its currently 22 degrees ;) but I've packed some blankets and extra onesies. Most of the cute outfits are just for those first photos inside the hospital :) xx
Yes the hospital is so cold for Bub! Beanie mittens blankets booties!
Just curious, how come you decided not to do cloth diapering?
We have reusable nappies too!! but I think we will leave that task until maybe a few weeks after birth. For first time parents those first few weeks are going to be a huge learning curve so we will leave the reusable nappies until we have the swing of things ;)
Is the love to dream newborn size(2.2-3.8kg) worth buying or it better to get from the start size small (3.5-6 kg) ?
I think so, we definitely used it for the first couple of weeks. I guess it also depends how big your baby is. So if you can wait until they’re born and send a family/friend to pick up the appropriate size that would make sense :)
First
Question what bottles are those
they're called quoddle bottles :)
i thought essential oils were dangerous for pregnant woman and newborn baby? correct me if i'm wrong xx
Kathleen • most of them can be very harmful for a pregnant woman but a few of them are safe and can be relaxing (if they are not too strong) also baby’s should never be exposed to such strong sense so you are correct. Xx
star jae thank you! xx
Is the bag vegan friendly babe?
Hello sweetie
LOL..Can tell its your first baby!! Lol
Baby you will need some very comfy nursing bras all you do is feed those hungry little bubs all the best you guys are Gorgeous 🦋
You're not going to need a pump, it takes a few days for your milk to come in.
What do you mean... Everything you own is designer! I don’t know anyone who can afford the things you own. All us commoners get hand me downs, second hand from Facebook marketplace and Kmart lol!
Hey! I would really love your opinion on vaccines since you live a wholesome life like myself! I was wondering if you saw “Vaxxed”. If you could research and let us know I would really appreciate it! Thanks love!
Vaccines are essential and save many lives. That’s all you need to know.
Hi Elsa. Will you be showing your child on your social media and your youtube channel once they are born? If so, how do you feel about their privacy being invaded and their inability to give consent for this?
You won’t need the bikini bottoms 😂 sorry just thought that it would be a good laugh.
