Am I the only one who thinks Gemma is the older sister all of us needed!? Love to watch all the videos even if I 'm not pregnant, I'm single and I' m not going to buy my own flat for another couple of years... So helpful, relaxing and cozy videos.. 😻Thanks for sharing bits of your life with us, Gemma. 💜
Her videos relax me like so much. I look forward to seeing them every week.
Or younger sister in my case! ❤️
Yes!! I love her
the baby is going to have such a beautiful life! i’m so so so unbelievably excited for you gemma!! 🤍🤍
@@katykent8195 ???
Me too👍❤
you're so pretty
I had my baby boy last Thursday 😍 finally he’s here 🙏🏼
Congrats 🎊🍼
Congratulations
Congratulations 🎉
My son is 14 now and the fear of them growing up too fast never goes, but its such a privilege to watch 💕
I'd definitely pack some more sleepsuits and vests, little boys have a tenancy to soak absolutely everything, I went through three outfits in one change for wee and 💩(nerves and inexperience, I look back and smile to myself now) in the end I found a large cotton pad worked well when changing him, I'd always pop it over him just incase, saved alot of accidents.... Even if it's warm they still need to be quiet well wrapped up, I always used to worry about this and packed cool outfits but they never got used, I had a June baby and I had to wrap him in a swaddle and two blankets because he really felt the cold. Highly recommend taking a swaddle blanket and swaddling him, I swear by these my little boy slept so well, he loved being snug and cosy!!! Be prepared for the newborn to still bury him, I was shocked having a 6lb 15 oz baby how big they still seemed on him, I'd pack some little cardigans aswell personally, a little knitted one over his sleepsuit works well, like I say they feel the cold. Lots more muslins aswell, you'll know what I mean when he's here. Definitely pack more big pads aswell!! Enjoy every second it goes so quickly ❤️❤️
My baby girl loved being swaddled aswell. The sleeping bags were a pretty new thing & I never considered putting her in one, even though my friend bought me one trying to convince me to use it! We used a blanket that was handmade by her great gran&I've still got it. xx
Totally agree👍🏻I went through so many clothes when I had my two boys, especially when I was changing their nappy🙈😂
Swaddles are amazing arnt they, but a nice blanket does the trick aswell haha think it's just about making them feel cosy and safe isn't it. Oh I miss those days seeing him so tiny in his crib 😍
And definitely, I ways think with boys, when you think you have enough spare outfits always pack more... My little one still catches me out even now, you'd think I'd got the hang of it by now lol x
What I love about you Gemma, is that you take nothing for granted. You are truly blessed to have this baby boy and he's truly blessed to have you as his Mum. All your overwhelming feelings are normal xx
You're doing an absolute amazing job at this whole momma/baby journey! It's so nice to see all your things for each of you and his nursery, etc.
Gemma you are GLOWING!!! I’ve watched you for so long and can’t believe baby boy is almost here!! Take as long as you need before/after baby and we will all be here waiting for you ❤️❤️❤️
I just found out I’m having a little boy too 💙Ive been loving watching all your videos and following your journey as it has made my pregnancy journey so much better you’re going to be an amazing mum and I can’t wait for him to get here 🥰
@@R.M01 Thankyou so much !!❤️
Absolutely loved watching your journey, you have took me back 6 months to when I was due and brought back so many lovely memories for me. I loved being pregnant so much and I've loved watching todays video, so thank you 💗 so unbelievably happy and excited for you xxx
Great relaxing vlog as usual Gemma, even though I haven't got any children I'm so excited for you both !! Your going to be such lovely caring parents for your baby boy when he arrives, I can't believe how quick it's gone either. Happy Sunday to you all !! 💕😊💕
So excited for you and your little family! I can just sense the excitement you have right now. It is something you won't experience until you are in that point in your life 🥰. I wish you all the best with the rest of the pregnancy and the birth of your little baby boy💫.
Gemma I'm so excited for you, you can feel even through the screen how loved your baby boy is already, I can't wait to find out his name.. You're doing so amazing.. I'm so glad you are feeling more chilled about everything ❤️❤️
Hey!! One thing I highly recommend for postpartum are the ‘always discreet pants’ so much better/comfier than knickers and a pad. So excited for you! 😬👶🏼✨
Yes! I used these for the first two days and they were life savers, especially in the night.
So excited for you Gemma! Watching this now at 35 weeks myself and it's really helping me get sorted for my baby boys arrival... feel like I've had someone with me along the way which is so cool! Exciting times 🥰 xx
The best advice I was given as a new mum many moons ago is do what feels right to you for you and baby 🙂❤️
Best advice I was given many moons ago was 'remember your breathing techniques', everything else will fall into place.
God bless you Gemma & Jamie as you welcome baby boy 🥰
Watching for years. Cannot believe a little boy is about to arrive. Honestly congrats, so much life change and it’s just beautiful
You are absolutely glowing! I’m so excited for baby to arrive, you and Jamie will be incredible parents! Great video ❤
I am so so excited for you guys! I am picturing you posting your video saying the baby is here and I will be a sobbing mess on my floor because I have been following you for a long time, so it feels like I have seen you grow into this amazing person, who is engaged to the man you love and about to have a baby! Nothing better than that!
Awww it all looks so lovely and I’m so excited for you and your new addition🌸
An hour with my Gemma is the best Sunday morning routine ever!!!. You look absolutely wonderful. Enjoy and relax. Love you girl and see you soon. 😘 😘😘
Gemma I’m not on instagram but i look forward to seeing you and meeting your new little bundle of joy when you vlog again. Enjoy the time spent with baby and Jamie.I wish you all the best and can’t wait to hear from you again.😘
It’s been a while since I was in hospital having my daughter but this brings back so many memories. So lovely to see you getting ready to bring your son into the world. I absolutely relate to feeling like they will grow up too soon…..and they do! If I can give you any advice, it’s soak up and enjoy every last moment with them. It goes by so quickly, blink and it’s gone! My daughter is now 19! It feels like yesterday I was holding her in my arms 🥰 Much love to you and Jamie xx
A WHOLE HOUR?! YES GEMMA 🤩💛
Oh Gemma I got so emotional and happy watching you in this video 😍 I'm also envious that you're going to be embarking on the most incredible time of your life and its all brand new for you, I have 3 kids now and becoming a mum for the very first time is magical, it's almost like life has just started but in a whole new way, you're going to make the most amazing parents and I'm soooo excited to watch your journey, incase that was the last video before baby arrives good luck and remember to take in every tiny moment, they're so precious xxx
Aww, I can’t wait until baby is here! He is going to have such amazing parents!! Congrats Gemma 💕
Watching your videos just make me so happy! Seeing how happy you are just makes my day
Cant wait to see your baby boy and find out his name. I’m so excited for you both🤍🤍🤍
Lollll, so cute! I did that for my first baby, but you learn you don't need that many clothes or hooded towels for the hospital. Can't wait to see your baby boy!!! So happy for you!!
This was so lovely to watch Gemma, I found myself smiling so much watching you pack your bags!! Not long to go now 🥰
Bernard’s was such a classic oh my bringing back childhood memories 🥺 you have got this Gemma it’s okay to feel this way and know that you are going to an amazing, loving mother to baby bear 🥰🤍
Relax and breathe, enjoy and savor every moment. You've got this girl !!!
I have a 7 month old baby and she’s the best thing that ever happened to me! So excited for you to start your motherhood journey 🥰
Good luck Gemma, you’ve got this! Your go with the flow plan sounds perfect! Can’t wait to see your baby boy! X
I am a mum of 3, I turned 27 last week, my babies are 7, 4 and 3 on Friday. They are growing up soon quickly. Enjoy every moment and soak it all up because its so true, it does fly by so quickly especially the more babies you have. I loved labour, I had my second two at home and it was amazing, but I have a very very high pain threshold so I do quite enjoy the pain of labour weirdly! But it's such a magical experience for you and Jamie and I'm sending you so much love ❤️xxx
I've finally watched this video. My first baby was a preterm baby, she was born at 23 weeks and is now 5. Babies are unbelievably strong. I'm currently pregnant with baby number 2, this time I'm currently 34 weeks. I got the same test as you, I feel your pain with the torch 😂 motherhood, your dignity goes straight out the window. You and baby will be all good and not long until your baby boy will be in your arms x
Sending so much love and positivity to you and baby 🤍
Loved this video. Personally I sacked off the disposable pants and got the advice of your other half’s old boxer trunks! I loved this, they were super comfy, covered everything I needed and held the pads in well.
Aww Gemma you are literally blooming 😍 I can’t believe how quick this journey has gone watching your vlogs has been so homely and comforting I can’t wait to have a little glimpse of your little man and you are Jamie are gonna be the cutest parents ever 🥰
You will be the best parents in this world and your baby will be lucky to have parents who love him❤️ You are like a part of my family
Gemma your going to be an amazing mum I’m so excited for you ❤️
Super excited for both of you! He's going to be a very lucky little fella!! Best of Luck with everything! Enjoy ur last few weeks! U will be an amazing Mom!!
It's been an amazing journey so far and we can't wait to see baby!
Take care of yourself and the little one and we'll see you soon!💙🤰
congratulations Gemma I hope you guys are OK and cannot wait for this next step of motherhood. you and Jamie are doing so well . I love you all ❤ 💛
Oh gemma, so happy to live a lil part this with you. God bless your labor 💗

Time does go so fast ….i blinked and my little man is 15 years old… cherish every moment big and small. I am teary just typing this . Sending love and hugs from phoenix Arizona.❤️❤️
😂🥺 your whole pregnancy journey has been the sweetest, most adorable thing. Thank you so so so much for sharing you and your amazing family with the world 🌍
My first child was born 39wks the pains and feelings you mentioned was exactly how my labour started and it got stronger. My waters never broke. Wishing you all the best my lovely. I'm sure the hospital have emergency supply of things if you haven't got them with you xxx
This is so exciting!! You and Jamie are going to be great parents. I would pack some more socks and bodysuits, boys get wee everywhere! And poo 🤪 Just take blankets for sleeping, the hospital provide you with them typically though. No need for sleeping bags or swaddles xx
You are 100% right about doing what works for you - everybody seems to have what they think is helpful advice but you'd go mad if you tried to follow it all! Great attitude, very best wishes to you xx
Please try to relax and enjoy this final point. Pretty amazing how your body will just know what to do when the time comes. Everyone's experience is different but the most important thing is that you and baby are well. Big hugs xx
When I was pregnant with the twins h&m was good for maturity stuff Bras, clothes but it wasn't much then that was 10 yrs ago so seeing how good it is now is amazing
OMG Gemma! I can't believe Ive watched and listened to you the hole video with some tears in my eyes😭 Actually, Im not pregnant and already in my 40s but you make me remember how I felt and how I lived my 2 pregnancies. Send you all my love for you and your baby😘💝
You’re doing the right thing not having a detailed plan because you don’t know how you’re body is going to cope with birth. I ended up having an emergency section and because it didn’t go to plan, I had post natal depression. With my second, I went with the flow and things were so much better. Birth wasn’t ideal, but I had no expectations going into it. You go with the flow girl!!! X
Excited for this not long now till baby boy is here can't wait to meet him💙xx
your videos are making me more and more broody, excited to watch this 🥰🤍
Gemma ur going to be such an amazing mum, i hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and your birth! 🤍
I had my baby March 2, 2022, and the whole time i kept thinking she would come March 2nd, I even wrote it in my notes when I was 30 weeks pregnant and I was right! It was just a gut feeling, I was due March 5th! She is my pride and joy, I love being a mom🥰 so excited for you gem🥰
I can’t wait to see the bringing home vlog, it has gone so quick, you are amazing thank you for these videos xx
Wish you a happy and easy time with the baby delivery! ❤️
Ohh Gemma I'm sooo excited for you! Not long now 💙 I love watching your videos their so good. Love everything you've got for baby, you're going to be amazing! Enjoy every minute Xxx
You’re so so so sweet, hope everything goes well, and enjoy every moment baby 🍃🥺🤍
Omg gemma blossoming and becoming a mummy for the first time is just lovely it's so nice to see you sooo happy becoming a mum is the best thing in the world and you will always have those feelings and it's the best feeling ever and you are goin to be such a good mummy to your little boy I've been following you for few years now and loved every moment of your journey and you are just soo lovely seeing you go through the hardest times to where you are now it's just sooo lovely sooo happy for you ❤ xxx
The first pregnancy is very overwhelming ☺️ What helped me during labour is meditation. We were taught to meditate on our antenatal course and it helped me during labour. You think of somewhere really relaxing and put yourself there, it really helps to keep you grounded and calm. Just remember you have more control over your body than you think. The more tense you are the longer it will take for baby to arrive. Everything you is forgotten once you're holding your beautiful baby boy in your arms. Being a mother is an emotional rollercoaster 😘 I didn't have a birthing plan either. A water birth would have been nice but it didn't happen with either of my boys. I did however have a short labour with them. I wish you all the best Gemma🥰👶
Bernard’s stop watch was THE BEST show!! Loved watching this for when my girl is due xxxx
Incredibly excited for you both 💙💙
Gemma your so georgous this little boy is going to be soooooo loved I wish U and Jamie all the very best and all the luck and love in the world ❤️ for your new family can't wait to see him
I thoroughly enjoyed this longer informative but FUN video! Thanks Gemma!
So exciting, takes me right back to when I had my two boys who are 27 and 24 now. The pad and slider comparison so funny. Maybe worth getting Jamie trained up in putting your hair up for you for when you are in labour.
What a lovely little family you will be congrats and hope everything goes well for you both when your little one arrives xx
So glad you said handheld fan as my sister said that was her saving grace as she was melting in the hospital x
Omg gem as if I was nearly crying I’m so excited for you I can see your about to burst with excitement by the way your growing babe can’t wait to see your little boy see you already lol xxxx
Você é tão adorável. Amo o quão longo e cheio de detalhes são seus vídeos, obrigada por compartilhar essa jornada linda Gemma❤️
Can't wait to see a baby boy.You look amazing Gemma.😊🌺💛
So excited for baby boy to arrive 💙👼🏼
You seem to have grown so much as a person speaking about why you have bought the things you have. I've had 2 babies and over packed for both, advice I give my friends is make sure you and Jamie pack snacks and drinks for while in labour as you get hospital food often except meal times. I also packed energy drinks for the last push if its a long labour. Good luck xxx
Sending prayers for a safe healthy baby!🖤
Hey Gemma, I loved watching this video, I have a 4 year old little girl and I remember the excitement of getting her first outfits ready, one tip I would give is to pack double the clothes for the baby that you think you are going to need, because, from experience you can go through two or maybe three outfits a day because of accidents and such. I know you said you are very close to the birthing unit however it just saves a trip to bring a couple extra outfits in case. I'm so excited for you and your little family
Lovely Vlog Gemma😘
It makes me feel old
Everything is so different now!!
You are so happy & excited
Baby Boy will be so...loved💙
Its the... most strangest unknown feeling as its just a waiting game
It will all together x
I’m so happy for you and love all that natural color around you it’s gorgeous . 💞
Gem my little boy is 4 in September and time really does fly🥺 I’m pregnant with my second and I’m so ready to see him become a big brother, he’s so kind and gentle and I’ve been like you, cannot stop crying! (I was always emotional even before pregnancy too but I’m even worse now!) good luck on the birth of your little boy😭🤍
Yeahhhhhhhh.
I can't wait for this.
1 hour....how lucky are we.
Thanks Gemma 😊
Bernard's stop watch was definitely a programme, i cannot wait to meet your baby boy
Morning Gemma😁💗 I have to say, after having 3 sons I tried every maternity pad on the market and found that using the 'Always' maxi flow pads were amazing! I found wearing the maternity pads was like wearing a nappy. You can see them under your trousers they are so bulky, and I always leaked!😟😱
Totally agree 👍
Omg yessss people tend to think it's like a period but by god its 10x worse I leaked all the time. I found that full bottom knickers worked best to keep the huge pad in place at least lol.
@@daniellethompson6619 yes...the leaking was a nightmare. The thing is with the maternity pads they are so thick, I found that they just pleated between my legs so I leaked out the sides. Or when I was sleeping I leaked out the back or the front. Not only that, the padding inside breaks into small pieces.
I was scared to use the Always brand, because they are wafer thin. But, by golly! they were a dream to wear in comparison, and super absorbent. When gemma held up her shoe next to that pad I nearly died laughing😂😂... they really are like wearing a nappy. Especially in jogging bottoms!! I felt like a sumo wrestler leaving that hospital.😳😱😂😂 Gemma if you're reading this do a trial run with the big pad and wear one for a couple of hours around the house.😉💗
@RachelB omg I no there a joke lol i was the same thinking the thicker nappy ones were going to be more absorbent, but yep the Always brand are shockingly more absorbent and much nicer to wear. As long as you buy the extra heavy ones you'll be great. Xx
Soo much more than I packed back in the day! And there was no birth plan, just went into hospital and gave birth. Didn’t have to worry bout chargers etc, in a way a lot simpler. I’m 57 but only seems like yesterday! Enjoy every moment Gemma you will be fine x
Emma I am soooooo excited for you guys!!!!!.. Wishing you well.. stay calm relax and happy love you both!!!❤
I suffer with anxiety and especially during this pregnancy. The best decision I ever made was to get a therapist who specialises in anxiety disorders. If you can get an appointment in (even if it’s just over the phone) before giving birth I think it would really help with techniques to cope. I wish I hadn’t put it off and done it sooner! It feels great to talk through things with them. But you’re going to be a great mum Gemma, you are far more organised than me! ☺️
Happy Sunday Jemma, just watching u get ready for baby, can't wait to meet him, but u will be way more excited then us lol. Your videos are so lovely xxxx
It's gone so fast! It all looks super lovely, I found I got rid of all the fluff very fast after baby was born because I just needed simple and effective but it sure does look pretty.
Good Sunday morning gem 🥰
Aww I'm so excited to meet babi ❤️
You are doing amazing! You got this girl! Yes there are horrorstories (mine wasnt nice either), but indeed dont listen to them, you can do it and will do it! I am very excited for you!
Loved this vlog! I’m also having another boy baby no 2 due In August ❤️❤️ and I remember those nerve racking feelings with my first baby especially when his heart rate dropped it’s a very scary time but remember the NHS are amazing and know what they are doing xx
Really enjoying watching your journey it’s so exciting also brings back lovely memories of when my girls were born😍 Enjoy every moment x
Im starting to pack my hospital bag for baby no.2 so loved watching this! I would say from my experience newborn babies have to stay warm and they struggle to keep warm- so put short sleeved vests under sleepsuits even for summer babies. I wouldn't worry about the romper for hospital or the hooded towel but pack more sleepsuits and vests to go under them. ❤️
You are going to feel the most overwhelming love for someone that you never felt possible 🥰 you will love him more than anything in the world and it will be magical ✨️ honestly just soak up every minute of it, I am so so happy and excited for you all 😘😁 he has the most beautiful, gorgeous, fun and amazing Mum ever!! I cannot wait for all the Christmas's, Birthdays, tent making, snacks .... OMG I am so excited to follow your journey with Bub ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 xxxxx
Excited for you both 💗 your doing so well and very organised. It's been 25 years since I gave birth to my boy and I found Sudocrem and baby lotion a godsend doing nappy changing. X
