Am I pregnant? No. Am I planning on being pregnant any time soon? No. Am I still totally invested in this video? Yes. 😂 Sending you so much love and good vibes for the birth of this babe! ❤️
I am in shock that River is already 4.5 years old. Wow…I remember following your pregnancy with her years ago…it’s amazing how time just flies by. I am so happy for you guys…hope everything goes smoothly…sending lots of love!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how consistent you are with the designs/patterns you like. Whenever I see something with stars, I’m reminded of your obsession. All the best with your delivery, looking forward to the videos and the birth announcement!
I gave birth to baby #1 about a month ago - I am still nostalgic of my delivery, it went so well - I wish you the same Fleur and same for all the mamas reading this ♥
I just love this content. It's wonderful to see you so happy. As a nurse, I recommend you take your medications in their original packaging as the staff won't be able to administer if don't have their label and expiry etc.
I’m so incredibly excited for you! I always wanted children but, alas, wasn’t blessed. So, with a laughing and a crying eye, I shall live vicariously through you. I hope everything goes well and you’ll have a healthy, and may I say, very lucky little man, to take home with you.
All the best for baby number two 💙🥰. So happy for you, Mike and big sister River 💕! Thanks for filming this video for us - really enjoyed watching 🤗. Love that little baby boy gets to wear star-themed outfits too 🌟.
Fleur, I pray that your little bundle of joy, baby baby comes at just the right time for him and that you are all well and safe during the birth. Sending lots of love from South Africa 🙏🏻❤️
Wishing You a Safe and Healthy delivery on your little boy, I had a 9lb 8oz first baby, natural birth, he’s now almost 43 years young, I literally pushed through it, c-sections weren’t such a choice back then unless the baby was in distress, so 12 hours later and 36 stitches he finally made his way into the world and when he was born he didn’t look like a big baby at all, he fitted into all the new born clothes I had purchased for him not knowing what gender I was having till he was born. Best Wishes to You, Mike and little Riv, she’s going to be an adorable big sister to her little brother, just the right age difference to be of help to you. Can’t wait to see little man and what you name him, I love the name River. All the Best from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺💖💖💙💙
Currently 32w4 days pregnant with second baby and haven’t started on hospital bag yet so this perfect timing! All the best for baby number 2 Fleur!!! Xxx
perfect timing! I'm 35 weeks with my second child (after a 5 year gap!) and need to get a wriggle on with packing my hospital bag! 😂 in my defense I have bought most things I just haven't done that final step of packing it all!
So happy for you Fleur, I've been watching foreverrrr, before your wedding even. Just wanted to say my brother is 4.5 years older than me and I love it! Just enough that we never had to share (or fight over) too many toys, we felt like our own people so could just enjoy being friends. Wishing you peace and smooth days!
OMG Fleur I cant believe it’s almost that time and so happy to hear there will be more before the day.........I’m so thrilled for you ,Mike and River...it’s been a long time coming.....will look forward to the next vlog......stay well..........Donna in Toronto
You look so well. Best of luck with your delivery, cannot wait to see a pic of River with that new baby, they’re always my favorites photos. Also looking forward to a nursery tour…that wallpaper is gorgeous 😍
I am not pregnant and don't plan to be any time soon but we are the same age and I have grown up with you. You have been my favorite RU-vidr since the beginning and I love your videos. It's like catching up with a friend! So excited for you and your family and can't wait to meet baby boy when the time is is right 💙
I'm due on Monday, my first baby. I've had my bags packed for the last couple of weeks but came here for some further inspiration. I've followed you for such a long time, over 10 years! Crazy how quickly time has gone. Good luck for your delivery, we haven't found out what we're having although now I wish we had 😂
Thanks for this, Fleur! Currently almost 39 weeks pregnant (also with a baby boy), but with my first - so this is super helpful! As you say, can't really tell when he's going to come, so all that's left is to (not so patiently) wait 🥰 xx
I love watching these… although I took one small bag with all my and baby #2‘s things. I know some hospitals don’t supply as much, we didn’t need anything for our stay in hospital. I only took my toiletries, a change of clothes, slippers & one baby outfit for baby to go home in. Wishing you all the best for the rest of your pregnancy & birth!
i had my daughter 3.5 years ago and just had my son almost 3 months ago now and i could not remember what i needed and what i used with my first lol i basically overpacked the second time around just to be safe haha wishing you a healthy delivery with baby boy💙
Watching and you said you’re having a blow dry the day before baby comes and you had a blow dry yesterday so today may be the day. So so so excited and happy for you. Like others I won’t be having a baby as I’m in my 50’s but love your videos and that you’re back xxx
Really helpful, expecting our first in January so winter baby, trying to get as organised as possible while about to go into my final year of nursing. So I have found your videos really helpful and just lovely to watch.
My little boy was 8lb 15 and the jojo newborn has fitted him for about 8 weeks. They are fairly big, you’re right, also he’s been in next up to 1 month for about two months. Good luck with baby, I’m looking forward to some more baby videos! Have a nearly four year old girl and 14 week old.. you’re in for a wild ride!! Xxx
I’m due a baby at the end of august! A planned c-section hopefully so this video is so helpful as my eldest is 4 at the end of July soo it’s been a while! My first was 9lbs 5oz and this baby is set to be a big baby too so I’ve not really bought much and I’ve just bought some different 0-3 baby grows! My first lived in short sleeved vests for the first few weeks of his life as it was so hot in the July!
I’m expecting my first and I’m trying to take so many tips 🤣🤣 made up you’re back doing some videos! Good luck with baby no 2! All the love to you all 🥰🥰🤍xx
Can you do a video comparing your first few months experience with your new baby and if/how it differed from Rivs first few months? :) would be interesting to hear about any noticeable differences that you find this time round Xxx
Our due dates must be so close together ❤️ im due baby number 2 20th July. My bags are all packed too. I definitely packed less this time round. Wishing you all the best for your delivery of baby boy. Can't wait to see pictures and the introduction video 😍 xx
I had a baby in December 2020 (so fairly heavy covid restrictions in the hospital) but we packed a big bag of food/snacks, just to be sure we/I had something to eat that wasn't necessarily hospital food or from a vending machine, that would be my only additional recommendation, but I don't know what restrictions are in place now, my husband had to leave after 2 or 3 hours and wasn't allowed back until he was picking me up (12 hours later) Good luck! 💙
For sleepers, I recommend Little Sleepies. Double zip and although the legs and arms a re long it’s purposely done. And it’s open feet but you can fold it over to cover it. Arms are fold-over as well. Makes me wish I thought of it….
Thank you for this video. Currently 35 weeks with my second and absolutely no motivation to get anything organised. 🤣🤣 at least it’s a good reminder of what I should pack 🤪
I had my son 4 years ago, and they were monitoring him monthly because of some kidney issue during gestation. They told me that he would be nearly 10 lb, because they were measuring his femur or something. And I had a scheduled C-section because of that. Turns out, he was only 8 lb. He was just very long because his father and I are very tall people. Just something to take into consideration because my next baby is going to probably be a vbac knowing this
Everything is gorgeous, Fleur! Your taste is impeccable! Love Next clothes - I found their popper onesies smaller in size than the zipper ones, very confusing. Best of luck, mumma!
I had a baby boy 2 weeks ago- he measured 7lb/ 8lb and he ended up being 10lb 🙈 none of the baby clothes I packed fit him.. he's in up to 1 month babygrows from Next and they are tight!! They recommend that baby wear a hat for the first 24hours. Good luck with the planned c section and recovery- hope all goes well.
Good luck, I also enjoyed my planned section. It was very calm. The best nappy cream is the yellow metanium :) Edit: I wouldn’t take a dressing gown either because it’s booking in hospital and I had mine in October. Would be worse in July!
I'm in my seventies so why am I watching this video. Well I loved your u tube vlogs and really miss them. I am so excited about the new baby and looking forward to seeing him join your family. Good luck to you with the birth.
Quick side note the star 🌟 print baby grow my daughter when home in and she was 10lb 7 if you get stuck and nothing else fits that one should. I wasn't prepared for a big baby most grows do well but they won't last for long. Next size up will keep for longer. My daughter didn't put much weight on for a good few weeks. Good luck. Ps you'll be hospital famous the mid wife's love a big baby. X x x
I’m sure you’ve already thought of this, but just as a momma with a big baby - newborn diapers may not fit. My son wore 1 newborn diaper and then the hospital pediatrician was checking him out and immediately asked the nurse to get us size 1s (he was 8lbs11oz)
It’s so weird having your second baby in opposite weather isn’t it? My first was a summer baby in the tropics and second middle of winter in a cold climate. It really threw me when trying to prepare like what do I even dress them in? Don’t forget extra long phone charger so you can use your phone all night long for that awful day 3 night when they get confused and stay up until 3am. Best wishes with it Fleur :)
I’m also definitely taking some skin care & abit of make up with me this time as I didn’t last time and my skin was so dry after been in the hospital! Xx
Fleur. You look so beautiful!! Your videos are so relaxing and informative. You didn’t mention any slippers for you. I remember really wishing I had some. And socks!! Ohhh and body wipes for those crazy post partum sweats LOL 😘 best to you and your little man
Oh yes - slippers! I took some last time and didn’t wear them, this time I’m taking my flip flops/sliders, but again… they are on my last minute list cos I’m going to wash them first (I have ones you can put in the washing machine - so good 🙌🏻)
2nd pregnancy i feel you are more prepared. Also know what you need to pack. Also can reuse items from baby 1. I always prefer neutral colours so is handy for both genders. I was never a fan of baby pink and baby blue colours. I just bought one hand carrier for myself and a baby bag for the baby. For baby just the minimum essentials baby grows, vests, hats, mittens and blanket. Also a going home outfit. Nappies definitely is a tricky ones as it was hard to know the size the baby will wear. I did end up using some from the hospital. And they also have baby formula there too if you end up struggling with breast feeding. I didn’t bother with makeup rather when at home to take pictures. And no shower and wash hair since Chinese traditions you cannot shower and wash hair for a month or two. Just wipe down body. In hospital only for two nights normal birth. I tend to use old night gowns, pjs and slippers as dump them afterwards don’t keep stuff from hospital.
Wow I’m impressed you can stay in the hospital 2 nights in the UK! It’s super fantastic. I’m from Denmark and With my first baby they kicked us out after 3 hours from giving birth and for the next babies is even shorter. Maybe because you will have a c-section? Great video and good luck 💕
Usually if you have a section you stay in for a couple of days, natural birth can be much shorter depending on the time of day you deliver, some people are discharged the same day too x

Sometimes due to c sections Milk will be late.. my midwife told me to ask for a pump in the room.. to try pumping whilst baby slept ( second c section) ♥️♥️♥️
It’s so funny how the advice varies from midwife to midwife - I was told not to pump till feeding was established… I started quite early with the pumping and personally felt it got my supply up with river but on one of the home visits the midwife told me I shouldn’t be doing it… it’s hard to know sometimes when people give you conflicting advice!
Are you giving birth in a private hospital? I gave birth 10 weeks ago in an nhs hospital and we had to provide some of the things you mentioned you didn’t need to provide last time - like nappies, maternity pads. No shower gel in the showers!! Just so anyone watching knows to pack these if they’re giving birth in an nhs hospital x
That’s a good idea if you need dark to sleep! I sleep without curtains closed at home and with a light on if I am alone too so I never wear eye masks unless I’m on a plane
