❤ MORE ABOUT ME ❤
Q: How old are you?
A: I am now 30 years-old! Argh!
Q: Tell us about your family?
A: I have a son called, Bill, and I am no longer with his dad, as we split mutually when he was a baby. I never imagined my life as it is now, with children to different partners, but I am so happy it is my life. I met Mark in the summer of 2013, and we became firm friends. We fell in love when I became single and we’ve never looked back. We have a daughter, called Daisy, born April 2016, and I’m due our third baby - a boy - in March 2018!
Q: What is your job?
A: I am a trained journalist and former business magazine editor, I then moved into content creation at an agency in Manchester (where I met Mark!) and since Daisy was born, I am now a full-time UA-camr. Yes, it sounds weird to me too! I work around the kids and try my best to make it work!
Q: What camera/software/lighting/music do you use to make your videos?
A: I film my videos with the Canon G7X Mark II (I love it!) and I have a Neweer Ring Light. I use iMovie to edit, PicMonkey for thumbnails, and I use Epidemic Sound, BenSound and the UA-cam library for music!

First time baby and I find you have help me go through so much of my pregnancy. I absolutely love you and thank you for your videos!

I took my makeup when I had my little girl too. It’s something that usually makes me feel better so I thought why not! My hair was an absolute mess but at least I had eyebrows 😂 x
Girl I know what you mean if I'm going any where over night i have to bring my makeup i have the same eye brow ordeal 😅😄I'm thinking of even bringing my flat iron lol I did with my first baby I felt so much better after getting pretty😊
Love that you're reusing products and clothing items. I see heaps of videos of people buying all new stuff, including a bag and I just wonder how sustainable that is and if they really know the products their purchasing. Thank you.
I love that you haven't gone and bought all the expensive versions of things. You've got reasonable prices and splurged on a few lovely things. Just makes you come across like such a normal person and relatable. I'm 17+4 and watching your videos is making me excited to meet my little one and confident to explore hypnobirthing. Thanks so much! God bless you and your family xx
Charlotte!!! I’m so happy to finally be at 34 weeks. I’m getting my hospital bag ready and I love your advice! I like how down to earth and knowledgeable you are. Thank you! I really liked the ziplock bag idea to put underwear. Wish me luck! I’m hoping to get to full term with my baby due to my gestational diabetes.
I took a pair of hotel slippers and just threw them in the bin before coming home! I ended up staying 3 days unexpectedly so it was nice to have some sort of footwear without making my normal pair germy! all the best with your delivery!
I took my make up. I know alot of women sort of turn their nose up at it. Like you say though, anything to make you feel good. I never used make up on the ward but i put on some foundation and powder ready to go home. It made me feel like me.
Sandwhich bag idea is amazing and I will be doing this next time 🏆
Makeup always made me feel more human after giving birth....that and a good shower 🥰
this honestly helps so much! my first was so unorganized!! my second one is due in 2 months!!! haha and can i just say... .as an American.... "hair bubble" was the CUTEST thing ive EVER heard!!!! love your videos thank you!!
I have watched many many pregnancy videos, and for some reason I always find yours to be the most helpful. You are very thorough and I feel so much more prepared to start packing my hospital bag when the time comes 💕
Charlotte you are such a veteran at the hosp bag! You def can tell that u have done it a few times so have included all the right things and none of the wrong unnecessary things! Well done at least it's all done and you're all set to go. I'm 16 weeks with 3rd baby so not quite at stage that I'm seriously thinking about this stuff yet, but still lovely to see all ur prep! Good luck! X
I’ve packed similar things for my hospital bag although I’m not as organised with sectioning the different things off! Great use of sandwich bags! Xx
I’m due a week before you with my 1st baby and I found this really helpful! 🙂 I’m also going to try Hypnobirthing and water.
I love your voice! Watching all through my daughter’s pregnancy. 30 weeks now.
Dear Charlotte, thank you! Im due just one week exactly after you and your videos are so helpful as Im a first time mom plus an immigrant from Portugal!
Filipa Marques good luck with your birth!
Brilliant video Charlotte 😊 I’ve just watched this and written a long list, (over half of which I hadn’t thought of at all 🙈) I’m only 25 weeks so have a while to go but at least I now have an idea so can pack quickly once I need to, thank you 😊 xx
I'm pregnant with baby #5, I'm due March 9th, so we are very close to being the same gestation, but I will be induced within the next 2 weeks.
I've noticed that we more experienced Moms pack totally different than the newer Moms, haha! We don't focus as much on the pretty birthing gowns and things of that sort......we realize that you never know what will happen and labor will go it's own way. However, I've noticed we do pack more aftercare and personal items. I have always taken makeup, skincare, and special luxury treats for making me feel great. I think we realize that you really do bounce back quicker than most new Moms think they will.....I'm always up, showered, dressed and spending time with my family as soon as possible, I need my beauty items to feel put together! Good luck, I hope all goes beautifully when you meet your new little bundle of joy :)
Came back to this exact video after 3 years from my first hospital bag packing. Thank you Charlotte!
Perfumes aren’t good as it stops baby smelling you and is very overwhelming for them as their smell is the most developed when born. I’ve kept my perfumes out of the hospital bag.
So useful Charlotte! Thanks for sharing, will definitely pinch the sandwich bag idea! :)xx
I’m so pleased it helped lovely! xx
I just love you- so down to earth and sweet. Thank you for your videos. God bless!!
I think you are an amazing person, I have a 10 month old baby and 1 on the way in February I have watched your videos and find them very helpful. I followed your advice on the what to put in my hospital bag and fort u helped so much thank you
Oh my goodness I wish I had the luxury of packing my own hospital bag. My advise to anyone is pack one early just in case! I had a smooth pregnancy until 7 months. We went for our 29 week scan and was kept in hospital. I had pre eclampsia and my placenta wasn't functioning properly. Had an emergency c section and my little boy is currently in nicu as he is 10 weeks early. I had my husband and Mum run ragged getting me nighties etc as I had nothing organised. Thankfully my little boy is doing well and getting stronger by the day.
Good advice on the pants for covering c section wound! Did not think I needed larger pants! Not nice to discover this fact when u don't have what u need 😞.
FYI - it’s worth checking with your midwives in your pregnancy appointments whether you need to bring bottles/milk with you. At QMC in Nottingham we were told not to bring bottles with us due to them being unable to sterilise them and we were provided with ready-made milk (cow & gate, aptamil etc) that had little teet’s that screw onto the bottles. However at Derby Hospital my sister was advised to bring milk with her (though she later found out they did stock it). I think they have to stock it Incase baby/Mum doesn’t take to breastfeeding so don’t be afraid to ask X
I love sandwich bags! They are the ultimate organisation tool 😁
They are fab aren’t they? I had to restrain myself a bit from putting everything in one! xx
Brilliant video! Thank you Charlotte. I have 13 weeks to go with my first so this is SO helpful 😊👍🏻💕
Expecting my first a girl in May this year, and I’ll definitely be showing my partner this so he knows what to make sure I’ve got.
I am so glad you mentioned about the bottles and formula, most of the hospital bag videos I have watched (and I have watched a lot..) No one mentioned about those and as I am planning to do whatever feels right at the time it would be very beneficial to take those too!! Thank you!xx
Too funny my birthday is the end of January (29th) and I I due in March! Like you! Granted it'd 2022 and not 2018 anymore.... but I've really enjoyed your past videos and your channel mom videos this pregnancy! (My 4th) and just thought it was funny we were due around the same time... and our birthdays are around the same time as well!
And I had to come back and add because I see that you named him Stanley, and that is the middle name I chose for this baby too! It was gonna be the first name, but I decided on the middle name! I am in the US and Stanley is virtually unheard of as a name in the last 50 years.... bit I love it and just thought it was crazy that we chose the same name! That is such a rare name on this "side of the pond".
Thanks a lot. I am due in october for my first baby.
I love to watch these videos even though I’m not pregnant!
Great tips thank you 😊 I’m due my first baby in July x
Squueeeee I’m so excited for you to go into labour!! Haha I was 7 weeks behind with my first pregnancy when you were expecting Daisy and I’m 6 weeks behind with my 2nd baby boy this time! So since I still feel like I have ages to go, I’m living vicariously through you. Fingers crossed I get to watch your lovely, calm, drama-free labour and delivery story/vlog before my Bub arrives. (Positive thoughts for you!!)
Hy Charlotte.
First of all I'm so happy to know more about you my friend. I'm here in Pakistan. And pregnant for my 1st baby.. it's a girl. And due in end of March 2018.
Am following you since I expected this baby . Really happy that all the videos I saw always are so helpful....
Stay blessed.. you and your family..
Lots of love.
Preska Sylvester Bhatti
This is really helpful to encourage me to pack the right things! I’m more nervous about not having what I need packed rather than the birth itself if I’m honest, and when it comes to packing mine (next couple weeks hopefully!) I can follow this video through. Thank you! 🥰
This is my first baby, so I’m REALLY nervous 😥
I love watching your videos they are so fun and educational😚i wish you all the best with baby number 3. Lots of love and well wishes to you and your family
Thank you so much lovely! I am so glad you enjoy them. xx
Hi Charlotte, thank you so much for your updates. They have been really helpful
My pleasure Esther! Good luck with your pregnancy! xx
Could you please tell me what name of the Hypnobirthing app you used? Great video so helpful! (i'm 35 weeks)
Thank you so much. I used to watch your weekly pregnancy videos. I already have my baby boy he is 5 months now🥺🥺🥺

Thank you for doing this. This is my 1st pregnancy and lots ideas of what to pack.
What where the bras mentioned...?
I'm struggling to get some affordable ones in my size ! X
I love watching these videos , I feel like you’ve held my hand for this pregnancy and from what I now know we do need a lot of support, I’m currently coming on my 33rd week yet began nesting so I figure now is a good time to start packing my hospital bag, but have no idea what should go in it. 💕
Thank you for this! Really helpful. Just ordered a cake maternity bra as I was in dire need of a good one. Thank you for the recommendation. Xx
My pleasure! I hope it helps! xx
Charlotte Louise Taylor aaah you replied to me! Thank you! Love your videos. You got me through my first pregnancy every week with the channel mum updates. Wish you and your family good health and happiness ❤️
Well you have touched my heart! How are you feeling? Are you due soon? I’m so excited for you! I bet you must be as giddy as a kipper! Wishing you and baby lots of love. xxx
Charlotte Louise Taylor I’m feeling nervous and excited at the same time. I’m due to have a C section on the 2nd of March because with my first baby I resulted in a 4th degree tear and episiotomy. I’m just starting to pack hospital bag for baby and me this week. That’s why I was watching your video and it really helped. Thank you once again xx
Thank u very much for this vid. It's really helpful 👍👍 first baby and using this as my guide. Also enjoyed your hypnobirthing vid.
Love the sandwich bags, such a good idea!!
I have the same maternity bra, it is soooo comfortable! I'd probably go for their nursing bra as well.
Absolutely love all of your videos! I’m due with number 1 June 10, 2018!
Congratulations sweetheart! That’s two days before Bill’s sixth birthday! June babies rock! xx
Love you and your videos. Not long now until we get to meet little baby
This is baby number 3 for me and when I think about it i kinda get a little nervous!😲
I did too! I think it's so normal. You're always a new mum again really - as every baby and birth is different. But you will be brilliant! I promise! xx
i love your videos due aug 19 3rd baby i have 2 boys hoping for a girl good luck

Which app do you use for the hypnobirthing tracks?
Fab video. Gave me ideas for a couple of things I need to add to my bag!
Hi charlotte I just subscribed to your channel. I love your videos
Thank you so much for subscribing! I am so touched! xx
Thank you for this Information i have found it useful
Unable to print the printable list on the write like no ones watching website!
Thank you! I forgot a few things. 😯
Great video. Does the hospital not supply the formula for the baby?
Dana Day I'm afraid they don't, they encourage breastfeeding always and if you can't or decide not to they expect you to get your own. Some do give the first few days especially if the mum is unwell (they always have some set aside, but are not encourage to give them out). Best to get your own so your not always arguing with them to provide some everytime!
I’m due on the 22nd March with my first child, this video helped loads x
where did u get the belly bandit from, and what would u recommend sizing wise
Thanks for youre tips !!!
I thought your lipbalm was a bath bomb I was like "she's got it all covered" 🛀🏼😂
🤣🤣🤣
is there any different brand for the postpartum famine products for the US?
Thanks for the tips, buts wheres the baby stuff? Like clothes etc. We are supposed to take them in the hospital right?
I’ve got a separate video for that! I thought it would be too long otherwise! xx
You cannot be that dense to think shes on her 3rd baby and didn't pack baby stuff???? Please tell me you are smarter than that??????
Very helpful!

I'll pack my bag when I'll b 8 months and half but not know 😃😃
Had anyone else gotten so wrapped up in babys hospital bag that they completely forgot about themselves? 😂
I loved the lanisoh breast pads, and the Medela lanolin
Snacks is a good one!😦😊
Did you wear makeup? I’m gonna take some but no idea if I will be in the mood or not lol
How many weeks pregnant were you when u packed your hospital bag?

I didn’t! I pack a separate bag for baby! I find it easier to keep things organised. xx
