I’m just so impressed with Rich, the extent to which he understands that Grey and your pregnancy are equally his responsibility. I wish all men were like that, my ex husband certainly wasn’t!
Bessie Stone we both loved this comment, thanks. I agree with the below that it’s annoying men get so much praise when they do care, like “he’s so good with her” or “daddy day care” which is just a ridiculous saying BUT we’ve gotta start somewhere and I think people talking more about dads being more involved is always a positive. He’s really passionate about it now and has convinced many of our friends to get more involved with hypno birthing etc and not leaving it all to the woman. I’m very proud of him 😌
Lily Pebbles couldn’t agree more with you and with M’s comment above. We shouldn’t be praising, it should be totally normal. In my experience it isn’t, but I hope I’m in the minority, particularly these days.
I would love if you could do a collab video with Fleur, now you both are mothers! You are both so mature and down to earth and I would love to see a discussion between you about becoming a mother, and how it affects you as a woman, how it affects your job and generally your view on things and priorities!
I'd love you and Anna to do a collaboration of how to be supportive of each other when one of you has had a baby, but the other is happy in their choice not to at that point. I'm not interested in having kids at the moment, but I love my friends who have and it can be hard how it can change relationships after. It'd be great to hear practical tips about how both sides can make it work.
Video Idea: Now that your a mom (your still Lilly, but now also have experience of a mom) do u notice certain things about society or yourself that you didn't notice before? I love these life talk videos, thank u for sharing with all of us!✨💗
How about a what to expect after c-section video? My first was a c-section and I had no clue what to expect. No body told me anything.. which is surprising. And I know every c-section is different but maybe touch on afterwards and how you controlled the pain, recovery and postpartum contractions 😣 how your scar is healing, any tips on clothing to wear and underpants you used. I just feel like c-sections are more common, but still not being talked about and I would have loved to watch a few videos just as a heads up.
Leave it to Anna to *technically* know nothing about what to take in labor...yet still somehow know what to take in labor 😆 Also, I'm quite impressed with the amount of stuff that you actually used! 👏
PLEASE READ IF YOU’RE FEELING OVERWHELMED. Just a little tip for any first time Mums feeling overwhelmed by the amount of things to take to hospital. It’s a great idea having a pre and post labour bag and a separate on for baby. You can buy big duffel bags with two sides rather than taking two separate ones. Take photos of EVERYTHING you THINK you will need and have them in a room in your house in sight. Take the basics to hospital (LED lights lol) and if you need anything from home, send a photo of it to someone with a key and ask them to get it to you. As much as women want to feel at home in hospital, the rooms / wards simply aren’t big enough for each woman to take this much stuff in with them. Midwives will work around you but it makes their jobs difficult having to clamber over luggage all the time. You will not feel disappointed if you didn’t get to light a candle or have a diffuser with scents spray the room. I don’t mean that to sound judgmental at all and we want our birth to feel perfect and magical but this isn’t prom night. Birth is magical and wonderful and in years down the line you will not remember the led lights or special sprays. You will remember the joy of seeing your baby for the first time. Make that the focus. Basics for clothes and toiletries. Hospitals have pads and disposable knickers and sick bags and birthing balls. If you want your own particular brand after birth, someone can get it for you afterwards.
Aaaaah I just squeaked when I saw that you posted! I am packing my bags these days, week 32 🙌🏻 and I followed your every step of the journey. SO happy to be able to hear what you took with you!
Yey! So excited to see another video from you! ❤️Is it too early to ask for a vlog yet? Yeah, it probably is. Well, then "Current Favorites" would be a great starter I think. It will be somewhere in the middle between baby staff and 'old you' beauty/fashion/lifestyle staff. Well, anything that is comfortable for you to film will be perfect anyway. Welcome baaaaack! We love you! ❤️❤️❤️
Would love to see how you are coping with the changes in your body and how your fashion has changed since giving birth. Are there clothes you like now, post baby that you have never liked pre baby
Video idea: have you noticed any changes/reactions to makeup or products you used before pregnancy? Any hormonal changes? Things you used to love that don't work anymore? Have you found an expedited hair/makeup routine for new mothers?
This is by far the best What's In My Hospital Bag video. it is very realistic, minimal, but also with options. not too crazy, but there are bits you could use if you wanted to. the thing is, you never know what kind of birth scenario you'll have. you might be in there for days, and you might want the essential oils afterwards, for example. I don't find it is hilarious to be mindful and wanting to have nice surroundings when in labour. if it makes the experience that much easier, just pack it. a very nice notice from you was that the birth partner should know what's were and why and when to use, without asking. if they don't know you likely won't even open the bag, because I can imagine that you just don't have the mental capacity to even think about such things. I created a playlist for myself and added this video there. I'm not pregnant, but we're planning to. I had a miscarriage in april and I'm not ready yet. I feel very anxious right now, so I'm trying to prepare myself with knowledge.
Loved this style video. Your videos have changed so much over the last 7 years that I’ve watched you and that’s what I like about you channel it has grown with you. Now you’re in motherhood mode and I love that. For me I would love to see some vlogs because these are the videos I loved watching before grey. And maybe a video about what to wear post pregnancy. I really struggled! Xx
I'm looking forward to all of you videos! I feel like filming when it's possible is a great idea. And obviously sharing your tasks as parents is great and should be normal so you can be an example!
I am currently packing my hospital bag and have picked up lots of useful tips from this video. Thank you so much Lily and I wish you the best for your new chapter as a mommy xxx
I love how different people are! With both my kids all I took was car seat, nappies, onesies/pjs for them and a blanket. For me, pads (down there and bra) clean underwear and sports bra, make up and an outfit to wear home. First born in the pool, second laboured in water but birthed out. I personally could not be bothered to take all of that ...
Sharon privated her video 😭 (and loads of others too I think 🥺) it was my favourite to share with other new mums.. but so glad I've found you doing this too!
So wonderful to see you back Lily, you're absolutely glowing and the new hair is lovely! I have watched you for years so whatever content you post, I will watch as soon as I get the notification! One of the very few 'youtubers' (bleugh vom but influencer is even worse!) who has stayed true to themselves always and I so admire how necessarily modern you and Rich are approaching parenthood! Would be lovely to see a day in the life with a newborn but whatever you're happy and comfortable with is all that matters :)
Aw love seeing you so happy with baby life. I love watching your baby videos, even though I don’t have a baby 🙈, maybe it would be good to see quick makeup routines when you don’t have a lot of time. Xxx
RE LED lights! I 100% loved them! I'd done all hypnobirthing prep but ended up having heavy bleed at 36 weeks and was in hospital for 4 days then had a section. In the days leading up to the section and when I didnt really know what was going to happen, these weirdly made such a difference - my hubs dotted them around the room and it made it so much more homely as we were there a week. I also used them in our bedroom in the early days as it is a good level of light for night feeds but not blinding or disruptive to sleep
Happy to watch Mummy and baby stuff. Day in the life vlogs with you, Rich and Grey. Haul/dressing your post baby body (although I can understand if that's a bit much) updated morning routine including Grey...loving your IG stories so just more of that I guess! Thanks for this video x
I feel like I can relate to this soooo much!! By the time I was there I didn’t care about the room, I just focussed on getting my baby out. I had taken disposable pants and pads which ended up being rubbish, but then switched to the Tenna pants when I got home (I sent my partner for them) and they’ve been amazing!! The one thing I’m really glad I took was energy tables - they kept me going throughout as I wasn’t always drinking that much lucozade sport. 🙌
Very useful video! We're on baby no2 and what we took for both births was the same but we used different things. Each birth, person and baby are very different and can take different courses so it is useful to pack for all eventualities x
Hey Lily just wondering what the brand of your watch is? I've been looking at getting one in that style for a while but haven't found the right one yet! Great video! Loved Sharon's video when she posted it also ❤
some maternity units dont allow clary sage oil as it can obviously effect other mums (maybe pre-term) or pregnant midwives. its fine for at home though! x
Can’t wait to watch this! I am 21 weeks pregnant and getting nice and organised with all my lists - I know for sure I will be buying the Mama Mio room spray xx
The pants were a LIFE SAVER after a vaginal delivery too, it all escaped up the back of the giant pads - my biggest recommendations to my pregnant friends now 😂
Thank you so much for this video! I'm expecting my second and I ended up with a c section the first time around but am hoping for a natural birth this time. I totally understand the sadness behind all those things you didn't use like the spritz for bits xxx
This was so interesting to see what worked and what didn’t. I don’t have kids and I’m enjoying your mum content. Maybe an updated get ready with me for a day in London with Grey 💁🏻♀️ xx
So I had both my kids via c section ( emergency) . One in NZ and the next one in Singapore. In Singapore they wrapped my belly afterwards with an elastic band and it was amazing! I was up and about so quick and didn’t feel like things were going to fall out!!
Hi Lily! Loving these videos. I’m in my second trimester. I’m loving the baby content - I loved baby content well before I was pregnant. I’d love to hear what newborn products you have used and haven’t used. We are forming our registry now so I’m all ears!
This video is so useful, I’m pregnant with my second child (there will be a eight year age gap between them and my first) and I remember under-packing and with having a c section, it just made the experience even worse ! Thank you
Would love to see a video about your experience about going abroad with a baby! Any tips and tricks to make it easier? I’ve got a ten month old and going on a plane with him gives me anxiety xx
Wow..all I could remember how tied and stressful I felt for the first time mum with c section and crying baby all night (didn’t use anything I packed even my face wipe ) i didn’t even think how I look or wear apart from hospital gown,so classy.lol
Loooved this video!! Super useful for expectant mothers (not me yet, it eventually will be though :) ). I would love to see any type of content from you, I have always loved watching your videos. Xxxx
When I had my daughter I packed a huge bag. Even a CD player ( this was 20 years ago 😂) I packed a lot of stuff and found out I needed almost nothing. All I needed was my toiletries , my dressing gown and my flip flops and the going home outfit for my baby and the car seat😂😂 I was induced and had strong contractions for 36 hours and didn’t care about anything. Everything else the hospital gave me. Cold cloths for my for-head during labor. During labor I was so hot that I was completely naked. The hospital provided a starter pack for the baby with wet wipes, diapers, lotions and the rest of what the baby needed. They had clothes the baby were supposed to wear while in hospital ( with the hospital name on for safety) and blankets . For me they provided all the shower stuff and sanitary pads and wipes . During labor I was so ill, I didn’t care about anything but getting the baby out.. the music, lighting and make up all seemed just ridiculous .. She was born in the evening and we went home the next day , my milk hadn’t even come in yet so I didn’t even need a nursing bra. Jumped in my track suit I came in in and dressed her in the beautiful home-knitted by grandma going home outfit , put her in the car seat and went home. Your really don’t need a lot of stuff, it’s a total waste!
I’m guessing you didn’t give birth in an NHS hospital in the UK? Here they give you nothing. No “baby starter pack”. No shower stuff or maternity pads. Maybe something to bare in mind when offering advice. No all hospitals are the same and in the UK we are told we have to bring everything Mum and baby will need. Everything.
I actually think it'd be so interesting to see your post baby fashion struggles type thing (i know you've been putting it on insta a lot but its just not really talked about!)
i've heard childbirth changes a person's skin as well in terms of texture etc and if that's the case for you, itd be great to see your new skincare routine to accommodate that!!
It is a very interesting format, very useful as well! Can't wait for more videos, Lily! all I want is VLOGS. and a little vlogmas confirmation (which I kinda know you are not bothered to do anyway x)
Hey Lily, would you be willing to share your birth playlist with us? I’m having trouble finding relaxing music that doesn’t feel cheesy for our playlist
Great video, I think you did really well with what you packed. I’d love to see a skincare video - what has changed, have you reduced your routine due to how much time you have? Does breast feeding (I can’t remember if you are - sorry) changed your skin in any way..... etc 💕 xxx
I’m just so impressed with Rich, the extent to which he understands that Grey and your pregnancy are equally his responsibility. I wish all men were like that, my ex husband certainly wasn’t!
Bessie Stone no wonder why he is an ex 🙌🏽
Kinda sad that we have to ''applaud'' men for doing what they should do and what (most of) women do naturally everyday for years.
Bessie Stone we both loved this comment, thanks. I agree with the below that it’s annoying men get so much praise when they do care, like “he’s so good with her” or “daddy day care” which is just a ridiculous saying BUT we’ve gotta start somewhere and I think people talking more about dads being more involved is always a positive.

Eloisa Bernal ha, quite! Solo parenting is hard but has lots of benefits, not dealing with an arsehole man is one of them 😊
I would love if you could do a collab video with Fleur, now you both are mothers! You are both so mature and down to earth and I would love to see a discussion between you about becoming a mother, and how it affects you as a woman, how it affects your job and generally your view on things and priorities!
Lily - i'm not pregnant, but I love these videos! I don't mind the mommy videos, actually think I prefer them to makeup videos :)
I'm not planing nor wanting to have a baby but still keep watching all your baby-related videos :D ps. shorter hair looks amazing on you! :)
Exactly what she said, I 100% agree and am the same xx
Same! Simply proof that Lily is down to earth and genuine ♡
It's nice to see Ladies helping ladies with ideas. Strong ladies Strong Mother's Strong country.
I'd love you and Anna to do a collaboration of how to be supportive of each other when one of you has had a baby, but the other is happy in their choice not to at that point. I'm not interested in having kids at the moment, but I love my friends who have and it can be hard how it can change relationships after. It'd be great to hear practical tips about how both sides can make it work.
YES! I don't want kids at all but would love to know how to help a friend
Maybe Anna isn’t comfortable with discussing her choices on the matter?
Video Idea: Now that your a mom (your still Lilly, but now also have experience of a mom) do u notice certain things about society or yourself that you didn't notice before?
I love these life talk videos, thank u for sharing with all of us!✨💗
Loved this video!! Could you do a video of best baby products or products you regret buying?! Welcome back Lily! Your family is do gorgeous
Lily, you are such a brilliant mom. Absolutely incredible ❤❤❤

38 weeks and our bags are all packed, loved this video and you've made me feel a little more prepared ❤️
This was SO useful, thanks so much for doing the reflection part. I've just added a few things to my hospital bag list from your recommendations!
Would love to see how you are coping with the changes in your body and how your fashion has changed since giving birth. Are there clothes you like now, post baby that you have never liked pre baby
Missed you starting my Sunday mornings!!
Video idea: have you noticed any changes/reactions to makeup or products you used before pregnancy?
Any hormonal changes? Things you used to love that don't work anymore?
Have you found an expedited hair/makeup routine for new mothers?
I would love to see a haul of the clothes you bought post baby. You look radiant and I love your new haircut x

Timi Sterr Wishing you strength and all the best - take the time you need 😘
have been so excited to watch this!! x
I’d love to see a DITL from a day with either or two with you and then Rich.
Loved this style video. Your videos have changed so much over the last 7 years that I’ve watched you and that’s what I like about you channel it has grown with you.

I’m due in September so I’m so glad this video is out before I have to pack my bag!

Girl your hair looks so good right now!
Love that your back I will watch anything you decide to film
Also would LOVE to hear Rich sit down talk about delivery and now that Greys here. If he will!!!
Aw love seeing you so happy with baby life. I love watching your baby videos, even though I don’t have a baby 🙈, maybe it would be good to see quick makeup routines when you don’t have a lot of time. Xxx
Omg you took so much! 😂 I took the ‘ ‘capsule’ approach especially with my 2nd and I had two c sections. Congratulations!! Xx
33 weeks here and packing our bags, so helpful. I have been quite realistic too so I don't feel so bad!
Love the mummy baby videos 😊 Plus it’s a realistic look at your life right now which is what you seem to be all about 👍 xx
I am enjoying all the mother - baby videos. I super excited for this new period in your life so keep them coming ❤️❤️❤️
you look soo fresh now... with that short haircut and glowing.. recovering very well
I am so glad to see you here. Of course I follow your stories on insta. You look great! Grey is beyond precious 💕💕
Your hair looks fab by the way!

Very useful video! We're on baby no2 and what we took for both births was the same but we used different things. Each birth, person and baby are very different and can take different courses so it is useful to pack for all eventualities x
I have been waiting for this... 👯
Hey Lily just wondering what the brand of your watch is? I've been looking at getting one in that style for a while but haven't found the right one yet!
Great video! Loved Sharon's video when she posted it also ❤
I would like to know as well.
I don't know for sure but it looks like the Olivia Burton mesh watch :)
Please can you do an updated hair washing and hair styling routine and products you use! Xx
some maternity units dont allow clary sage oil as it can obviously effect other mums (maybe pre-term) or pregnant midwives. its fine for at home though! x
I love these videos. This has been really helpful, thanks Lily. My baby is due in 3 weeks and I need to still properly pack my bags.
Can’t wait to watch this! I am 21 weeks pregnant and getting nice and organised with all my lists - I know for sure I will be buying the Mama Mio room spray xx
Holiday + baby = a game changer 🙂.
Great video and so impressed with the way it was edited! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
The pants were a LIFE SAVER after a vaginal delivery too, it all escaped up the back of the giant pads - my biggest recommendations to my pregnant friends now 😂
Thank you so much for this video! I'm expecting my second and I ended up with a c section the first time around but am hoping for a natural birth this time. I totally understand the sadness behind all those things you didn't use like the spritz for bits xxx
Could we please see what you brought to the hospital for Grey? Would also love a quick mummy makeup routine ❤️
This was so interesting to see what worked and what didn’t. I don’t have kids and I’m enjoying your mum content. Maybe an updated get ready with me for a day in London with Grey 💁🏻♀️ xx
Interesting you said the hospitals are hot there. In the U.S they are ice cold all year round.
So I had both my kids via c section ( emergency) . One in NZ and the next one in Singapore. In Singapore they wrapped my belly afterwards with an elastic band and it was amazing! I was up and about so quick and didn’t feel like things were going to fall out!!
Loved this video! I’m not pregnant or wanting to but I’m just so happy to have new videos that I don’t mind the mom-baby content! 😍💛😍💛
Oh I loved this video! So helpful for me since I need to start packing my hospital bag 😊
Hi Lily! Loving these videos. I’m in my second trimester. I’m loving the baby content - I loved baby content well before I was pregnant. I’d love to hear what newborn products you have used and haven’t used. We are forming our registry now so I’m all ears!
Love seeing you back x
This video is so useful, I’m pregnant with my second child (there will be a eight year age gap between them and my first) and I remember under-packing and with having a c section, it just made the experience even worse ! Thank you
Would love to see a video about your experience about going abroad with a baby! Any tips and tricks to make it easier? I’ve got a ten month old and going on a plane with him gives me anxiety xx
Ive waited so long for this video 🥰 I'm due my first baby in 3 months and this is so helpful!
On another note... your hair looks swisshhh AF xxx
I'd just like to note that im 22 no where close to having a baby or desiring one, but love all this baby/new mom content!!
Also, please please do a “What’s in my nappy bag” video!!! I love watching those
Wow..all I could remember how tied and stressful I felt for the first time mum with c section and crying baby all night (didn’t use anything I packed even my face wipe ) i didn’t even think how I look or wear apart from hospital gown,so classy.lol
Would love videos on your jewelry connection n recommendations on styling clothes and jewelry
Welcome back!
Lily, where is your gorgeous watch from? The one you wear in the newer parts of the video?
Your hair looks lovely! Well done mummy x This video is so great!
That was such a good video reflecting back on what you used really clever and I’m not even pregnant
Loooved this video!! Super useful for expectant mothers (not me yet, it eventually will be though :) ). I would love to see any type of content from you, I have always loved watching your videos. Xxxx
Yayyy I was so excited for this! You look amazing btw xx
My legs went funny when you described how you felt after you c section - I had 2 so I totally get what you mean, it’s so hard to describe!
Lovely to see and hear you lily ♥️
When I had my daughter I packed a huge bag. Even a CD player ( this was 20 years ago 😂) I packed a lot of stuff and found out I needed almost nothing. All I needed was my toiletries , my dressing gown and my flip flops and the going home outfit for my baby and the car seat😂😂
I was induced and had strong contractions for 36 hours and didn’t care about anything. Everything else the hospital gave me. Cold cloths for my for-head during labor.
During labor I was so hot that I was completely naked. The hospital provided a starter pack for the baby with wet wipes, diapers, lotions and the rest of what the baby needed. They had clothes the baby were supposed to wear while in hospital ( with the hospital name on for safety) and blankets . For me they provided all the shower stuff and sanitary pads and wipes .
During labor I was so ill, I didn’t care about anything but getting the baby out.. the music, lighting and make up all seemed just ridiculous ..
She was born in the evening and we went home the next day , my milk hadn’t even come in yet so I didn’t even need a nursing bra. Jumped in my track suit I came in in and dressed her in the beautiful home-knitted by grandma going home outfit , put her in the car seat and went home.
Your really don’t need a lot of stuff, it’s a total waste!
I’m guessing you didn’t give birth in an NHS hospital in the UK? Here they give you nothing. No “baby starter pack”. No shower stuff or maternity pads. Maybe something to bare in mind when offering advice. No all hospitals are the same and in the UK we are told we have to bring everything Mum and baby will need. Everything.
Love the video so helpful. Would you recommend using a tens machine?
I actually think it'd be so interesting to see your post baby fashion struggles type thing (i know you've been putting it on insta a lot but its just not really talked about!)
i've heard childbirth changes a person's skin as well in terms of texture etc and if that's the case for you, itd be great to see your new skincare routine to accommodate that!!
Would love to see a day in the life! Or morning /evening routine with a baby xx
You look so well and I'm obsessed with your new haircut 😍
Bit off topic, but your hair looks so amazing Lily! 🤩💗
This is an AMAZING video, Lily. Cheers!
I would love a video on what you are enjoying wearing at the moment? A post baby Wardrobe video with Anna maybe?
Bloody hell it's a lot of stuff! Giving birth seems expensive....
having a baby is expensive full stop haha lol
I’m not pregnant nor do I have children but I’m thoroughly enjoying watching your baby-esk videos 😊💕
How was it carrying Grey and taking care of her just after a C-section? I'm sorry if you addressed this and I missed it.
It is a very interesting format, very useful as well! Can't wait for more videos, Lily! all I want is VLOGS. and a little vlogmas confirmation (which I kinda know you are not bothered to do anyway x)
Loving the fresh hair cut!
Your hair looks great! Beautiful, flattering cut on you. 👍😉
Hey Lily, would you be willing to share your birth playlist with us? I’m having trouble finding relaxing music that doesn’t feel cheesy for our playlist
Massive thank you!
Lily, you look gorgeous! Great hair ❤️
what an amazing video Lily! Thank you so much :)
Great video, I think you did really well with what you packed. I’d love to see a skincare video - what has changed, have you reduced your routine due to how much time you have? Does breast feeding (I can’t remember if you are - sorry) changed your skin in any way..... etc 💕 xxx
