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. 💜

you're so pretty
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.
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

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
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💫.
You are absolutely glowing! I’m so excited for baby to arrive, you and Jamie will be incredible parents! Great video ❤
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
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 ❤️❤️❤️
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. 😘 😘😘
Awww it all looks so lovely and I’m so excited for you and your new addition🌸

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
Watching your videos just make me so happy! Seeing how happy you are just makes my day
This was so lovely to watch Gemma, I found myself smiling so much watching you pack your bags!! Not long to go now 🥰
loved the longer video !! can’t wait for little baby at christmas time ik it’s going to be so cute i’ve watched you for years now gemma and i’ve never been more excited for someone 🥰🥰
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
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 ❤️❤️
My son is 14 now and the fear of them growing up too fast never goes, but its such a privilege to watch 💕
Aww, I can’t wait until baby is here! He is going to have such amazing parents!! Congrats Gemma 💕
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.😘
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!!
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.
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!!
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.
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 🥰

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!
Oh gemma, so happy to live a lil part this with you. God bless your labor 💗
Watching for years. Cannot believe a little boy is about to arrive. Honestly congrats, so much life change and it’s just beautiful
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 🥰🤍
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
Cant wait to see your baby boy and find out his name. I’m so excited for you both🤍🤍🤍
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
Relax and breathe, enjoy and savor every moment. You've got this girl !!!
gemma treasure every moment because they grow so fast. you will have your hard days and yhen better ones but its sll worth to have this special human being in your life. may your lifes be full of happiness laugh and love
I can’t wait to see the bringing home vlog, it has gone so quick, you are amazing thank you for these videos xx
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.
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 🥰
Sending so much love and positivity to you and baby 🤍
😂🥺 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 🌍
Gemma your going to be an amazing mum I’m so excited for you ❤️
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 ❤ 💛
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
Gemma ur going to be such an amazing mum, i hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and your birth! 🤍
What a lovely little family you will be congrats and hope everything goes well for you both when your little one arrives xx
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!💙🤰
your videos are making me more and more broody, excited to watch this 🥰🤍
Really loving watching you get ready for baby boy’s arrival! I had my little boy in September and would definitely recommend the Always Discreet Boutique pants. And definitely pack more pads than you think you need! 😅
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
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
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
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
I am so proud of you being a new mum and I wish you and your little family lots of love
You’re so so so sweet, hope everything goes well, and enjoy every moment baby 🍃🥺🤍
I hope everything goes well for you and baby when he decides to come, and even though it stings a bit lol, enjoy the journey, it’s amazing! Much love to you all!💕
I thoroughly enjoyed this longer informative but FUN video! Thanks Gemma!
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 🥰
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
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
Oh I do love your videos! You are so inspirational. Good luck, you are both going to be amazing parents. One very lucky little boy he will be 💙
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
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 🥰
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🥰👶
Good luck I’m so excited for u!!! I added a tens machine, swim top, chocs for nurses, and for baby newborn ready made bottled formula in case he don’t take to nipple. Also take some dummy’s, sudocream, cotton wall balls, baby sponge and baby nail file kit xxxx
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
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😘💝
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
Good luck Gemma! You look amazing ❤️ Jamie is a very lucky man 🤭 your going to do amazingly xx
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
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.❤️❤️
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
Wish you a happy and easy time with the baby delivery! ❤️
A WHOLE HOUR?! YES GEMMA 🤩💛
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
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
Excited for this not long now till baby boy is here can't wait to meet him💙xx
I’m so happy for you and love all that natural color around you it’s gorgeous . 💞
Bernard’s stop watch was THE BEST show!! Loved watching this for when my girl is due xxxx
Can't wait to see a baby boy.You look amazing Gemma.😊🌺💛
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
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
Ur looking amazing Gemma try to keep calm and relax doll and enjoy the rest of ur pregnancy you and Jamie are going to be great parents 💕💕
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!
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. ❤️
So glad you said handheld fan as my sister said that was her saving grace as she was melting in the hospital x
Hi gemma ☺️ this was a lovely video its nice to hear about your baby journey ❤️ glad your mind was put at ease at the hospital 🏥 love the cot and jamie practicing 😊.take care and relax xx👍🌞💕🐈⬛🐈⬛
Love seeing your excitement getting everything ready, such a special time!! I would say you might need a couple more bodysuits (we call those vests!!) as they go under all the sleepsuits and quite often get stained with leaks from the cord and nappies! But hopefully you won't have to stay in too long so won't need too many outfits. I would take a swaddle but not ever needed a baby towel for any of mine until you get home. Enjoy these last few exciting weeks before he arrives!! You're almost at one of the most incredible moments of your life! 😍
Wow Gemma you look Amazing and so glowing , Not long to go for you now before your baby boy will be making his appearance . Your baby clothes looks gorgeous, Good luck to you with your baby boy xx
I love you so much and am so excited for you, the nursery is just so beautiful and calm looking xxx
Awww ❤️ this was lovely you'll be an amazing mum and dad. One tip from my own experience is lots of vests and sleepsuits and in first size . The blanket you bring they will swaddle him in and maybe bring a spare Xxx
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
Good Sunday morning gem 🥰 Aww I'm so excited to meet babi ❤️
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😭🤍
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.
Such happy loving vibes. Defo pack more sleepsuits and vests little boys get wee everywhere, best to have to many than run out xx
Can’t believe how fast your pregnancy has gone… I love these video updates gorgeous- it’s such a positive start to the week ahead and so exciting Eep! 💕 Regarding pants- Bigger is definitely better! Also take more maternity pads than you think you’ll need as you might need to double up- especially if you are in overnight. Without being too graphic, this end will be doing all the hard work 🙈 You don’t need sleep bags or swaddles- his blanket and clothes are enough. Your midwife is right- most first labours are long - it can take several hours before you’re at pushing stage. I would designate a place in your bag to put all his mementoes e.g. your name bands, newspaper on the day he was born- in the flurry of delivery, and haze of gas and air, these can easily get lost. Sorry to hear you had a blip last week but you and bump are doing amazing! Thanks for sharing lovely 💕
hi Gemma, I had a water birth which was amazing for my youngest son, but for my eldest, I didn't and one thing I found useful (and he was born in June) was a pair of fluffy/warm socks! You don't really need vests if its hot you can just put him in the bodysuits or short sleeved bobysuits baby cant maintain their temperature intially so even if its hot you might need a couple of bits on , unless we have a proper heatwave ! x
Você é tão adorável. Amo o quão longo e cheio de detalhes são seus vídeos, obrigada por compartilhar essa jornada linda Gemma❤️
