Every time I read how many weeks pregnant you are I think ‘wow that can’t be right!’ because you’re 8 weeks ahead of me but sh** is starting to get real now! Love those hospital bags 🤍
I found your channel when you were pregnant with George because I was pregnant with my second baby. My second baby just turned 2, 2 days ago which is crazy. Your hospital bag videos made it so much easier for me packing my own ❤
I must have watched your hospital bag video with George more than 50 times when I was preparing my hospital bag! That was such a great video and also what you actually used! Can’t remember if this was in your original list but I would definitely recommend taking a small handheld fan, the hospital can be so hot! I also took a spray can of water which was so lovely and refreshing to spray on my face, then use the fan! So exciting that your baby is almost here! Wishing you all the very best Shan!
Aw yay! I love that, I deffo need to rewatch because that feels like a LIFETIME ago hahaa! I can’t remember you know if I had a fan or not!! But deffo sounds like a good one!! Xxxx
I sometimes get so jealous of these teeny babies! My girl measured in the 99th percentile and was 10lbs 7oz born at 36 weeks. Hoping all goes well! super excited for you!
Definitely an “extra” kind of item lol but I was absolutely OBSESSED with my eucalyptus essential oil after birth. The gas & air really bunged me up for days afterwards and I just used to put the essential oil all over my pillow, clothes, wrists, neck lol and it really helped me breathe straight after birth and that first night. Was a god send! Xx
I’m so glad i’m not the only one to renovations and pregnant with second! I feel you, 14 weeks to go and got no nursery either, drives you mad when all you want to do is get organised!
Highly suggest silver nursing cups for healing & lanolin while start breastfeeding… saved me. It’s a hard journey but well worth it. Research a lactation consultant so you are ready for any issues to start of. Best of luck!
I have started packing my hospital bag too, but I really don't know if I already want to buy a peri bottle, hazel pads and spritz and such yet. I'm aiming for a VBAC, but it might turn into another C Section again and I never used all of that last time and gave it away! (And my baby girl is still breech as I'm typing this at 33+2..... grrrr!) We will also have an entire bag pack filled with snacks, just like last time. Haha! I will go around Tesco and just grab whatever I fancy. I got the same Lucozade's in the cupboard already, and there will definitely be a big bag of M&Ms peanuts!
Ahh that’s a tricky one! I totally know what you mean, I guess you can always get witch hazel and all the rest of if after you’ve given birth if you need it - Amazon is our best friend haha xxxx
The anxiety I got looking at the path of destruction when you arrived back home 😂 only because I have the same when I come home to leaving the kids in daddy daycare! 🤯
Omg those bras!!! Mine got totally tatty by the time my daughter was actually born as I wore them from the first trimester onwards but all I was gonna say was take out the padding and cut a small hole at your nipples boom you have a pumping bra 🤷 just a tip for anyone like myself who doesn't want to pay the prices for all the different bras hope this helps someone or saves someone a little money x
Glad everything is ok with baby girl!! 😊 why don’t you put in double doors or something instead of a wall in the lounge? It would let more light though? It would be more expensive but you could maybe pick up second hand French doors?
I used my bags that my clothes came in from Shein instead of buying the packing bags you can buy. Meant I could separate all the things I needed for the hospital
Dont put pressure on yourself with breastfeeding. I have 3 children I bottle fed with my 2 and then my 3rd baby I tried to breastfeed I did it for 3 days it was painful, baby wouldn't latch properly, and my nipples bled so I gave him and formula fed. I felt extremely guilty for not being able to breastfeed and hit with hard for a while. Xx
I totally agree - not putting any pressure on it but I deffo want to give it a go this time. Equally, George absolutely thrives on formula from day one so I have no issue doing the same of BF doesn’t work out! ♥️
Love your videos so much Shan! They make me want to get pregnant again :P Weird question, where did you get your tv unit? The white cupboard unit? Looking for a new one since ours is too low and our toddler just smashed the tv with a toy!
I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone! Excited to see how your life changes when the baby girl comes.❤ Wish you all the best.🫶 I have been breastfeeding my baby boy for 17months and the biggest advice I have is doing some reasearch or classes before hand and if you need any help when you actually do it get some help from professionals.🫶

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you lovely! I went to Primark yesterday and picked some up! Yay! Xxx
Get the packing cubes! I had them last time and they were such a lifesaver keeping everything organised
I think i will!! Seems like I’ll love them too! Xxx
A water bottle with a straw and a mini fan are my hospital bag must haves!
I’m so glad i’m not the only one to renovations and pregnant with second! I feel you, 14 weeks to go and got no nursery either, drives you mad when all you want to do is get organised!
I feel this deep within my soul haha!! We’ll get there though and will all be worth it I’m sure 🙈😅
@@HomeWithShan i hope so 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I love your song choice whilst you were cleaning 🤣
A battery fan! Was super helpful for me.

Amazing! Thank you so much - deffo need all the BF tips!! 🫶🏼
My baby girl was 6.6lbs and she was on the 9th centile so you might be right x
I was so glad for my eye mask in hospital! I was induced and was in for 5 days and nights. Also hand cream and hair bands
It’s so bright in hosp too!! Agree on hair bands and hand cream - adding to my list!!
A portable fan from Amazon! I got one with bendy arms that could be held or attached to a bed etc if needed. So worth it xxx
This has come up a lot and I’m convinced I need one now! 👏🏼 thank you!!
@@HomeWithShan definitely, especially with a June babe! 🥰 you’re welcome!! Xx

Also those are top tier snacks!! 😅🫶🏼

Love that it’s always us tidying it up too 😅🤣 oh well 🙄😅
What lashes do you use?
I’m still laughing at sporadically 😂 baby brain is a real thing
It’s deffo a thing 😅😅😂

Haha! They’re so comfy aren’t they!! Maybe I’ll get a new pack of them for post partum days!!
That’s such a good money saving tip too!! 👏🏼
Glad everything is ok with baby girl!! 😊 why don’t you put in double doors or something instead of a wall in the lounge? It would let more light though? It would be more expensive but you could maybe pick up second hand French doors?
Never mind! Just realised it’s so you can have more cupboard space!! 😅
I used my bags that my clothes came in from Shein instead of buying the packing bags you can buy. Meant I could separate all the things I needed for the hospital
Yeah that’s such a good shout - cupshe clothes also come in those bags haha! Perfect!
Saves spending extra money if you already have these bags
Nice to see a living room lile mine! Haha. Interested though how long it took you to clean and tidy it? Sometimes I feel it takes me aaaaages
Tbh, I don’t know.. the amount of times I got interrupted by a toddler wanting snacks or to show me a bug… forever 😅🤣
Your vlogs make me really want to get pregnant again 😅 my husband isn't so enthusiastic yet unfortunately. 😂
Hahaha! You’ll wear him down one day haha!! 🙈

Sadly none of these links work for me. Would love just to know which brand of leggings these are please xx
Hey lovely! You will have to open the links in safari (no idea why haha!), but they’re from H&M 🤎
Love your videos so much Shan! They make me want to get pregnant again :P
Weird question, where did you get your tv unit? The white cupboard unit? Looking for a new one since ours is too low and our toddler just smashed the tv with a toy!
Oh no!! That’s one on the reasons we went for this one tbf - it’s from ikea, called the Havsta 🤍
Why is the house always an absolute STATE when dads look after the toddler for a few hours? 😂 I’m always like how? How did you let it get to this lol?
