So sad to hear you say “no one likes us two too much” families can be so difficult. You are glowing and you have a lovely family keep your head up and don’t worry about the ones who don’t actually matter in this little one’s life ❤️
Im new to your channel. Im in Irish mum in her 30s with six kids. It's a gift from God . Im a stay at home. The best job ever, my husband works hard so. Love seeing other mums same like me. ❤
Hi Laurien, thank you for this video. You are being very open and honest about your feelings. Don’t say you aren’t pretty - you are beautiful, both inside and out. Enjoy your pregnancy and take care of yourself and your lovely family.xxxx
Your glowing , so envious of your tummy you would never say your on your 6 pregnancy you look amazing , shows that the food you buy and cook are paying off ,well done you ❤❤❤
I've had fertility issues myself but when people don't I don't get upset. Everyone has different issues in life and I happy for people that don't or didn't struggle ❤ I don't find what you say thoughtless. It's your experience and that's fine for you to express the way you do ❤
So lovely to see your beautiful face and Flossy is so cute. Great video. Don’t say you don’t feel pretty because you are absolutely gorgeous everyday of your life! My love to you all! ❤
I also am 100% with you on medication approach, I've always instinctively known out immune systems and body are made to protect us if we eat well. Diet is everything!! Hence my similar shopping habits to you xx
I have always wondered about women with multiple children: "do they not experience pain?". I am considering having kids one day (I'm at that age now), and the pain of labour is a big thing that is always on my mind. And don't worry too much about not getting big reactions from family. The fact that each one of your kids are here, means they have a purpose in life ❤
I chose to give birth to my children naturally, without pain meds. Is it painful.. definitely but I found it more exhausting than painful. I was very tired , however I got to hold beautiful mushy babies at the end, to which I am eternally grateful 🙏 Also there are options you can choose..for pain management or pain relief, it's up to you, what you include in your birth plan. Don't let the fear of the birthing process interfere with your decision of wanting or not want children. As mentioned; How you birth is up to you.😊
Exactly as Kerry says I couldn't have said it better. It is painful but I think you know the end is just going to be so amazing and nothing in the world compared to the moment you meet your baby, it's an incredible experience so I think that helps. I'd do it again with each of mine just to meet them again ❤️
I've never known anyone else have the same issue with family. I was always terrified to tell anyone about any of my 4 because no one was happy or bothered. It certrainly wasn't like you seen on yt or tv that's for sure. I find it hurtful and just can't understand it. When my friends tell me their pregnant I'm genuinely happy for them and cry. I've never had that response so keep a lot to myself as ppl seem to struggle to share joy. I feel our values are so similar, my little family is everything and always get questions about the way i choose to live because it conflicts with society's new norms. I guess I'm fairly traditional and a stay at home mum. I feel grateful every day to be with them and raise them 🙏 xx
Yes! I always wait for them to think here we go again so it's easier to just not tell anyone. My family are better than my husbands though. I agree we are so similar it's always so lovely to hear from you ❤️
Soooo exciting, Laurien!! ❤ I am so looking forward to all of your updates. You look amazing!! We didn't get the vaccinations in pregnancy either and our crew are just fine x x
Hello Laurien ❤. You look and sound wonderful! Don’t worry about your family. They will love your new baby just as they love your other kids. Regardless, the new baby will have the very best parents, brothers and sisters. Take good care of you ❤
So thrilled for you both ! You look amazing! This baby will be so so loved ! Please don’t listen to negative comments, you have the most wonderful family ! Love watching you all and your journey ! Take care xx
What a nice video. I like your honesty, your very respectful of others, you have your opinions which you say are just your opinions. You've done your research into things & again your not trying to influence others or change their views, it's just what you think / do. I think that is so respectful. Families, well that wasn't very nice thing to say to Curtis, but just rise above those comments not worth getting upset about. And who cares about the lighting , your not in a studio & your just a lovely lady who does some great videos so don't put yourself down about looking unprofessional or comparing yourself to other you tubers. A lot of them too false for my liking/ content Is rubbish & their presentation is not good. So carry on with the videos, laurien
That's nice of you thank you very much Karen! No Curtis always feels so awkward to tell them because we just know the outcome haha but it doesn't matter theyre barely around for the kids anyway. Thank you so much ❤️
Super exciting, Laurien! I can’t wait to hear the name of the new baby. I love all of your children’s names because they really suit each one of them perfectly. ♥️
Sorry to hear that no one is happy for you, families are weird! Anyway you are pretty so don't ever think your not. Your a great mum with beautiful children, take care xxx
I waited with all mine until they were 3 and really ready, because it was so much easier and we had less accidents, even though a few family members were like 'he should be potty trained now' I just ignored it all and did what I thought was right for mine x
How do you find that many names you like😂 I always struggle for names so bad 🙈 Do you give your babies their immunisations? It’s so sad when you get negative reactions about something as amazing as having a baby especially from family but don’t let them get you down. The family you have created is all you’ll ever need. Xx
Haha so do I I just use Google loads haha. No I don't. I did with the boys but stopped after Roo and I'd looked into it. He only had them up to a year I think. Xx
Hi Laurien, you and Curtis are brilliant parents and this new little one is going to be so lucky and have the best brothers and sisters. You look wonderful Laurien and you’re still pretty!! Families are complicated aren’t they, I only have a brother he is 18 months older than me and we don’t get on at all I hardly ever see him and has never been supportive of me when I was going through a lot with mental health issues he has never been there for me I’m just so greatful I have my parents who have really helped me through everything!! I’m so excited for you all with the new baby. Take care Laurien and lots of love xxx 😍😘💗
Hi Louise, aw thank you soo much. I'm sorry you went through mental health issues in the first place and then that you didn't have support from your brother. I hope you're ok now. Lovely to hear you have such kind parents though. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Margaret. I'm so sorry its a horrible thing to go through when there's no explanation for it. It's lovely you've been married so long 🥰❤️xxx
A couple of family members weren't obviously overjoyed with the news that we were pregnant when we told them..but i think they just don't show emotions like that, and they also don't think where we live is 'suitable'. Its a shame that house size is the marker of success in society, and not how happy and loved your family is... My mum was always happy, although she thought i was mad when i got pregnant with my 3rd 😂
Hi Laurien Why don’t you have a virtual shower so that people can send things for the baby and you could do unboxing on your channel.Love from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.🌟🌟😀👍❤️❤️
It is so much more exciting when you don’t know the sex , I didn’t find out for any of mine and the anticipation is lovely of when the midwife, says it’s a boy/girl. I didn’t want to work until my kids were older too. I started working in a pharmacy when my youngest was at nursery and that was only a Saturday, just to get into working again and some time for me, adult interaction etc. It was really good for me, as my youngest child was very challenging so it was just a little break. I started working school hrs after that part time, 10 til 2 which fitted in with the kids. I felt a bit guilty if I wasn’t free to go to assembly’s or anything with my youngest, (as with the older two, I wasn’t working and could go to every one they had) but as I only worked 3 days a week, I was often still able to. I stayed working in the pharmacy, and am still there and my youngest is now 21. You’ll know when you are ready/if you want to go back to work, in the meantime stay home and enjoy your children. I loved being a stay at home mum, other people used to say, oh I had to go back to work so we could run 2 cars, have holidays abroad etc, but I was just like, look we aren’t well off by any means but we get by, and whilst we can afford to have one wage coming in, I’m going to make the most of it, because you never get that time back and I think it benefits the children greatly. Who cares about 2 cars, holidays abroad, the latest gadgets, the best sofa ,or whatever it was. My kids were happy and so was I being with them ❤xx
Aww how lovely that you started that job and you're still there now, I think that's so lovely. I agree I love to be there for everything they need but when the time is right I will see what I'd like to do! ❤️
Its so exciting Laurien,another Cute Baby otw ,☺️🥰 its so nice to not know the Sex of the baby,😊it will be a great surprise, 🥰your amazing Beautiful, Kindest ,loving and caring mom ,🥰🥰
Do you vaccinate your children? The only vaccines we haven't given our kids are the covid vaccines...and our pharmacist even said he wasn't getting the covid boosters, so I was like, well if the pharmacist won't take, neither will I lol. I do get the flu jab though, pregnant or not. I also got my two youngest the chickenpox vaccine, as my youngest suffered so badly with her chest as a baby, the dr advised it due to the complications that can arise from having chickenpox (I saw that with my eldest when he had chickenpox and he got prety poorly with his chest afterwards and ended up in the high dependency unit in hospital) so i didn't want anything like that happening again. I'm not judging, just asking out of curiosity 🙂 xx
