I can't believe how rude the midwife was to you! It was your first child, therefore you have never been in that much pain before. She should have treated you with respect and tried to calm you down by reassuring you not being ignorant! It makes me worry that a lot of these doctors/ midwives are in the job for wrong reasons!! (money)! Anyway congratulations! Your son is sooo adorable!
They are not paid well, it's not about money. Just a terrible personality.
Really? wow! If she isn't in it for the money she must enjoy doing what she's doing and she should know how to treat others with respect and to meet their needs. It's sickening that she didn't treat you in a caring manor Kate :(
I think they just see births so many times and have such knowledge on it that they become desensitized and forget that it IS the worst pain to YOU from the beginning and that in your eyes its the fear of the unknown too
It certainly isn't the money. I'm a nurse and the pay is not good for the job I do lol xx
I qualified as a midwife. They aren't in it for the money - they are in it because they want to help women. However, due to many job pressures (lack of funding in the NHS, ward politics, stress) on top of issues everyone goes through (stress in other life areas/illness/family etc) everyone has bad days. Plus, many older midwives were trained in a different, less woman-centred way a few decades ago.
Although I am not pregnant your video was very helpful and honest. Everyone just keeps telling me horror stories about Labour and it just terrified me and puts me off, as I am a massive whimp and have NO pain threshold! I love seeing videos about little Archie, lifestyle and beauty/fashion videos. Love A x
I hate that people want to scare you when you're pregnant, it's the worst thing ever. I tried to be honest in this video as there's no point in me saying it was like going on holiday! Haha but it really wasn't that bad and I think i've probably got a low pain threshold too! x
Thanks... Love you videos keep them coming xxx
Google 'tell me a good birth story' :)
I'm 34 weeks pregnant and watching this has put my mind at rest a bit. I really don't like people telling you how horrendous it is, sits like a competition of who had the worst labour. You've really made me feel better x
Ahh that's good to hear! you'll be fine! :) Don't let anyone scare you, it's really not that bad! x
I agree, it's not that bad, it hurts, but it's over quickly and you forget straight after, and it's no where near as bad as what you imagine. X
@melba Newman Don't worry too much. The pain is only there when you're having a contraction. Once your baby us in your arms you'll forget about the pain. It may not seem like it at the time but you'll be fine. If you have time don't be afraid to ask for some pain relief do you can get some rest. Good luck xx
I just try and think if it was so terrible would so many people have more than one child? So the pain must be worth it :-)
Good luck!! Hope all goes well :)
This is probably the best labor and delivery story I've ever heard. You coming into the hospital at 9 cm dilated, having no pain medicine and still say that it's possible to do. I'm due in June so I've been searching videos like this on CZcams and I'm glad I found yours. Thank you for encouragement! :)
This feels so weird, because I've been following you since years and I can't believe you just had a baby! I'm so so soooo so proud of you! Look at the person you've become.. The most amazing, beautiful mummy and woman! I'd really love to see other Archie-related videos! I love you and your little family so much xxx
Very heartbreaking that you got such a midwife! I love how you managed to see past it and focus on your beautiful baby; and your kind words of encouragement are wonderful and much appreciated. I have wondered about the kind of pain as well. I think this was very valuable to talk about, because hardly anyone I know wants to talk openly about their labour story which makes it a scary topic altogether.
I love how real this birth story was. It wasn't sugar coated or anything. I'm just over 17 weeks pregnant and this put my mind at ease; I don't expect it to be easy at all, but I'm not dreading it!
Kate thank you so much for being honest but not at all scary. I am 36 weeks now and utterly terrified of labour, you're right, all everyone tells you is the worst of everything, so it's lovely to hear your very un-scary story. Also makes me feel better about not having a very solid birth plan because I don't see how these things can go to any kind of plan! xx
I'm so happy for you Kate! It's been so amazing to watch you go from being pregnant to seeing Archie become part of your family. Would love to see monthly updates, he's adorable! xx
Ever since watching a video in sex education many years ago. The thought of even just becoming pregnant and then having to give birth has petrified me. I'm now 25 and some of my friends have children. This video has made me realise that everyone is different and has settled my mind a bit about having children in the future. I have really enjoyed watching your journey from the very beginning and now to see you with a little family is just lovely. Thank you for your honesty in your videos and I hope you continue to do them xxx
let me just say Kate,because they turned you away at the hospital and you were on your feet and gravity was in your favor you were much further along on arrival at the hospital. Well done for enduring. I had four natural births, 2 at home and learned that when you are new to it, you just want to get to the hospital and you don't realise that it's going to get much more intense. Much of the time you arrive and are 4 or 5 cm and they lay you down and you want medicine and everything slows down after that. I know it's different for all, but you did amazing!!
I agree! I think that's why Rik made me stay at home for so long as he knew I would be better there than sitting at the hospital for hours! x
Im 15 weeks pregnant and your video is so uplifting! I love watching happy experiences, so glad your labour and delivery went so smoothly. Shame the midwife was so horrid, but she did what she needed to get your little boy there in the end 😊 xxx
I'm fifteen weeks pregnant and this labour story has helped get rid of some of my fears for the birth, so thank you! Congratulations on your beautiful family xxx
I think you little man is adorable! He favors his dad and seems like such a happy soul! Hope to see regular baby updates, all you normal vlogs and hopefully wedding planning (maybe)?
Your natural hair growing in looks beautiful and really compliments and softens your face. I remember my mum telling me that labour feels like you really need to go to the toilet. When she got to the hospital she went into the shower and refused to leave - she almost had me in a shower! May explain my love of water. Thanks for sharing your story with us! Beautiful family.
Kate, thank you for sharing your experience. I don't yet have any children but your story has reassured me that when the time is right that pain is a natural process for gaining your child and experiencing a love unlike any other xx
This is probably one of the best labor and delivery videos I've seen so far! I'm around 35 weeks pregnant with my first and like you, I'm a bit nervous about the labor and the actual delivery pain- what it'll feel like. Thank you for explaining it so well and for the encouragement that other women can get through it! I'm planning on a birth center birth with no interventions or medications, so this was truly helpful. Thank you again!
Kate, I'm so proud of you and Rick for making your beautiful baby archie❤️ thanks for being so honest in this video. Lots of love and best wishes x
Wow what a great labour and delivery story so quick in the end which mine went like that! There so worth it :) you look lovely in this video xxxx
Ah thanks hun, I know you had a tough time! They're really are worth it though, you're right :) x
I'm 38+6 weeks today and I am so glad I just watched this! You have really helped me believe I can do this! Back to bouncing on my birthing ball to try and get labour started, you have given me a massive burst of energy to get this baby out!
He has a beautiful head of hair. What a glorious baby boy. He's wonderful. Congrats!
hi Kate. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and am SO scared about the upcoming labour. I had an appt with a midwife today who told me there's a 30% chance I won't get an epidural because the hospital might be busy that day. This has really messed me up. I've avoided all labour videos but for some reason I clicked on yours. You've made me feel much better so I just wanted to send you a big thank you for that.
Was so good to hear a labour and delivery story that wasn't a horror story! I won't be having a baby for a good few years but whenever I tell someone I'm 100% not having an epidural in the future no one ever believes me because of how bad it is, so I'm really glad you've shared this to show people you can do it without any painkillers :) monthly updates on Archie would be super cute, he has so much hair already!!
Thank you for sharing your birth story Kate and being so honest. I'm 29 weeks pregnant this week and the amount of horror stories I've been told regarding labour really scares me. I suppose it's the fear of the unknown. I just hope I can deal with the pain. Congratulations to you both, Archie is adorable xx
God i could relate to your story so much! My baby girl is 5 weeks old and I do not forget the birth at all! My midwife was horrid, I went into the hospital for sickness like yourself a week before I gave birth and she was horrid and just didn't know why I came. When she came in the room to deliver my baby I could of screamed GET OUT! ( I know its horrid to say ) anyway, she refused to check me as I was only 2cm a couple of hours before, and refused to give me any pain relief ( including gas and air ) the pain was unbearable, and finally when she checked me after having a breakdown and trying everything I was 9cm and ready to push! I pushed like there was no tomorrow! And she was born half a hour later!
Well done on such an honest video. I'm a midwife and mummy of two (in Ireland) and horrified by how you were treated, you should be so proud of yourself for arriving in 9cm and bringing your gorgeous boy into the world so beautifully xx
So glad I watched this video, im due in 2 weeks and up to now I have been so nervous and terrified of the whole labour and delivery process. I think it's the fear of the unknown and like you also mentioned not knowing what type of pain you will be faced with. Thanks Kate this has really helped me feel more relaxed and Archie is just adorable :)
I'm not pregnant, but like this video and every other video of you with the baby and seeing him smile and everything, it's been really wonderful to see! Thanks for sharing your story, I'm really happy you re so happy x
Sounds like you were actually quite good with the pain considering you thought it wasnt late stages of labour! I am applying to do midwifery at uni and what you said about the midwife you saw made me angry. A midwife should have sympathy and understand that you were in a lot of pain, perhaps she'd had a bad day but that was no excuse, you should have felt supported by the midwives during all stages of your labour. Archie is absolutely gorgeous and you should be so proud :)
He is gorgeous Kate and it's obvious how much of a good mumma you are :-) Motherhood suits you! Definitely looking forward to seeing more of Archie videos! xx
Kate you are so adorable! Im 37 weeks pregnant and can totally relate to what you said about being afraid of the labor. Thanx for sharing your story!
Wow! You are so brave. I had gas and air with my second daughter and I remember as the effect of the gas and air was wearing off and I was coming round I was thinking "Oh my God, who is screaming like that?!" and then I realised "Oh my God, it's ME screaming!". LOL! So glad you had a safe delivery and you are not too traumatised! Archie is an angel! xx
I hated waiting for my baby to come. I only found out I was pregnant at 18 weeks - I don't know how people wait a whole pregnancy. Rhys was born 1 day early but I was still down and fed up by the end waiting to meet him xxx lovely story - babies are the best thing in the world they are a blessing - Archie is beautiful (I know I am late because I have only just found your videos) xxx
I'd love to see Archie`s mainly update. I'm due for delivery next month and it would be nice to know what to expect from the baby every month. Archie is lucky to have you as a mum x
Thank you so much for sharing such a reassuring story. As a FTM at 39 weeks I am definitely nervous about birth an labour - I really appreciate your encouragement - thank you!
I love both your beauty videos and the vlogs with Archie and Ricky! Would love to see you do the monthly updates and great vid, thanks for being so truthful and sharing your experience x
You should do monthly updates until Archie turns one. You could include all the new things he is learning like sitting up, first teeth, first solid food, and things like that:)
I love all your videos!!!
I 100% agree with you it is painful but its nowhere near as bad as everyone told me. My story was fairly similar to yours. I went to the hospital at 9.30pm sent home at 11.30 without being checked I went back to hospital because my fiance forced me got there at 5.40am was 10cms and he was born at 5.56am. I also had about 4 days of various pains. I wish I had made a video like this so lovely to look back on. Congratulations you make a lovely and very beautifil mummy xxxx
And was also told too late for any sort of pain killers! Bummer that we didn't get to try the gas and air haha xxx
It makes me so sad hearing that you had a rude midwife. Im applying for uni to be a midwife, and knowing some midwives treat women with no respect when it's their most important day of their life just makes me so sad. Least I know I'll make a good impact on women's and their families lives unlike some midwives!!
What a beautiful story! Can't wait to have a natural birth of my own. You are so much more patient than i would have been with that nurse. My goodness, what an attitude. I would have told her to take a hike!
Lovely video! My little boy is 1 and i totally agree what you said about the pain level but as soon as my little one was placed on me the pain was forgotten. Please do monthly updates. Archie is beautiful :-) x
I am 38 weeks pregnant, quite young and scared! I really enjoy watching videos to do with baby Archie! He's beautiful by the way! Well done :) x
As a student Children's nurse I would love to see updates on Archie's progress through his early years! It's the time when the most change occurs and it can be the most exciting!
Also I'm sure it would be nice for yourself to be able to look back and watch him grow and develop into a proper little man
A monthly update would be really nice. Congratulations on Archie he's gorgeous. Xx
Thanks for sharing...even the TMI. I would love seeing the once a month videos of Archie as he grows and changes. I love the person videos that you share of you and your family. Thanks for your time and allowing me to share it!
I ended up having my baby boy on August 17th instead of the 18th. And I agree, the pain is not as bad like others think. You can tolerate it by breathing well :) the key is to focus and breathe.
Archie is the cutest baby boy ive ever seen! Hes gorgeous just like you Kate 💖 Love watching your vlogs and everything with him in it hehe. Youre such an inspiration! Love you x
its so lovely to hear your story Kate and really admirable that you're sending a reassuring message to women. Congratulations again!
You look so well and radiant Kate- motherhood is clearly agreeing with you. Yes please do monthly updates on Archie, as well as your regular fashion and beauty hauls !! Also, the best places to buy baby clothes would be useful- although I don't have kids myself, many of my friends are parents now, so I find these kind of videos useful!!
archie is a teeny tiny version of riki! I'm so happy for you both, you are the cutest.
That sounds a lot like my third baby. All my deliveries were very different. Even though it hurt like hell it was an amazing experience. Archie is beautiful you both must be very proud xx
i can't believe the midwife told you you were in early labor before she even checked you! thank you for making labor not sound like the worst experience in the world. my mom was sort of the same- she always had such bad cramps with her period, she was actually having contractions for a long time before she realized they were real contractions- she thought they were going to be a lot more painful the whole time. i've also heard it described as "crapping out a bowling ball." haha! congrats on your baby boy and thank you for sharing your story!
Omg you didn't have pain relief at all? Such a trooper Kate I loved your delivery story :)
Congratulations! He's beautiful! 😘
Well done to you! I gave birth to my first son in august and had a very similar story to you. Waters breaking and being told to go home then Being 9 - 10 cm and still in the waiting room as they was convinced I was in 'early labour' I had to shout and demand a room and if I didn't get one in the end I would of had that baby in the waiting room full of other pregnant women. Horrible experience the nhs staff are horrible but well done for being so brave! It would have been nice for us to have a nice comfy room before all those horrible contractins began. But we got there! Your son is gorgeous xx
I just love your mommy and baby videos. A mommybowbow would be awesome. Archie is adorable.
I'm hoping to become a midwife so hearing about your experience with the midwife was really helpful for me! I hope I will remember that when I get to that stage and it reminds me to be polite and caring to all of the women! Archie is absolutely gorgeous as well :)
Kate, I cannot tell you how useful this video was! Thank you SO much for sharing your story. I'm due on Christmas Day and starting to really freak out about the birth but you've helped to put my mind at rest. Thanks again, from a nearby Kentish lass xx
Love your baby related videos it's nice to hear from someone my age and in a similar situation to me. You seem such a lovely down to earth girl and archie is gorgeous! I love Being a mummy its the best thing ever and I think is so rewarding. The love you feel from the moment they're born is so amazing like nothing you've ever felt before ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's really helpful to know what exactly these pains are like just the way you said. I am 33 weeks now and starting to get scared about these pains. I have heard from many how inhuman some of these midwives can be. Bless you and your little one.
Hi Katie! This is a fantastic video, I haven't watched other videos yet, but I really think you are a fantastic woman, with a great attitude! Tahnks so much for sharing this, I really appreciate it! It's wonderful to hear a non drama brith story, and the tidbits about what the pain feels like is really, really helpful. I would love to hear more!
Loved this! My hubby smirked when I was in labour, I smilled when you said Rikki was laughing. Archie is beautiful xx
I was 21 when I had my little boy (he's now 2) & I was terrified of giving birth. I ended up needing a ventouse delivery where a senior midwife was required & she was horrible, she took the gas & air away from me and kept telling me to be quiet, yes she delivered my baby safely for which I am grateful but she didn't have a caring bone in her body! However my other midwife and the student who was observing were absolutely lovely
They're deffo worth all the pain us ladies go through :). My 3rd little girl was due august 22nd but had her on 8th august! You always forget the pain after having them, I'm just glad I had all quick labours 1st 45 minutes, 2nd 90 minutes & 3rd 34 minutes as everyone tried scaring me with them all saying it would take hours or days lol, labour is deffinetly not as bad as some people make it out to be though x
aww bless you, you had a pretty rough week before the birth but its all worth it isn't it Archie is such a cutie. I like you arrived at hospital too late for pain medication but when friends ask me what its like i always say i won't lie its very painful but you forget the pain the moment they place your baby in your arms.
Congratulations Kate! This was very helpful! Thanks for sharing your story :) I feel the same with my midwife from the surgery and same with all the people from the hospital. I'm due this Friday and I'm a bit scared since it's my first and haven't got so far any good experience with the hospital or the surgery ... all so busy and cold, some even with an aggressive attitude, not caring at all. You were lucky you manage to dilate up to 9 cm. One of my friends managed only 4cm and they had to use the ventouse and it wasn't pretty at all - no painkillers, no nothing and also they had to do a surgical cut down there. This is another fear I have among others.... You sound like a great storyteller :) Keep it up! Maybe one day you could write a book ;)
Thanks so much for sharing your experience Kate. Like Melba I'm just a few weeks away from my due date and this has made me feel slightly less anxious about things. I've prepared myself for the worst of the worst I think so hopefully it will be a little less scary than I'm expecting!
I love this video so much. I've got a 4 year old and an 11 month old and I loved giving birth, might sound weird but they are such lovely memories to look back on. I just remember thinking, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, or some people liked scare me into thinking it would be! I'm lucky that both times my midwives were lovely and the whole experience was a good one! Congratulations to you and Ricky. Enjoy every minute! Xx
congrats again. baby archie is just so adorable and all the best for you and your little family.
This was such a lovely video! :) So lovely to meet you last week xx
Although I'm not pregnant this would of helped a lot of people as on some videos they say how awful it was and on this video you put it how it was and it's always best to be honest with everyone this surely has made me less scared hehe :) p.s your birth story was amazing ;)
You were 9cm's and she told you it was too late to even have gas and air or any painkillers? Is anyone else a midwife is this right?! Surely you should be allowed no matter how many cm's or how late it is! You sound like you did amazing! Congratulations x
I don't think pain killers would have kicked in before he was born but not sure about the gas and air? He was born within an hour so it wasn't too bad, I was more scared of having gas and air to be honest haha! x
No, I also arrived at 9cm dilated and was put straight on a bed like Kate, begged them for pain relief and both midwives said no sorry we need you alert now as your baby will be born within the next 10-20 minutes so no pain reliefs or gas & air.
So I had to just push him out exactly the same as Kate, with nothing but my own strength.
I arrived at the hosptial at 9cm they wouldnt give me anything even though I offered them money as I was in so much pain lol
Gas and air has instant effect - but maybe it wasn't available in that room as it wasn't a delivery suite? I don't know. My sister-in-law had her baby in an exam room after being in hospital 20 mins and was still given injected painkillers, but I guess different hospitals have different procedures. The main thing is that Kate and Archie are safe and sound - so happy for the three of you!
Pethidine wouldn't kick in in time BEFORE birth, but would kick in after, making the mother and baby sleepy, and increasing any risks/ chances of poor bonding.
Epidural takes 30 min from set up to actual pain relief, so 9 cm is definitely too late.
Gas and Air (Entonox) would be instant, but it's a much milder pain relief so to be honest wouldn't have much actual effect at this point - it would have just distracted her!
so happy for you and your family, i'm sure no matter how bad the pain it's worth it. if you can make a living thing and give a persona heartbeat. congratulations he's such a gorgeous little boy, with a lot of hair!! ( i was born bold and was bold for a long time)
Congratulations Archie is adorable. I hope when the day that I become a mummy comes my labour will be like yours. Kate you and your family are so gorgeous. Wish you all the best. XxX
I am a first soon to be mother and to be honest your video made me feel so much better about giving birth. Thank you so much for your honest opinion you're great ❤️
love watching you SOOO much! mommybowbow is the best! could listen to you talk for hours you just have the cutest personality!:-)
He's just so lovely, Kate - I subscribed years ago and I'm honestly so happy for you!
I cannot believe the midwife said that to you whilst in labour, absolutely ridiculous! I've just stated a pregnancy vlog and just found your page, subbed immediately. Baby no.3 on the way for me. xx
Amazing! Thank you for posting this. I love to hear from other mums and their birth stories. I'm glad you had a pretty straightforward one and quite a positive experience.
This video made me smile so much! I love how strong you've been and your advice must be so reassuring to other women! Honestly so happy for your family of your own and wish yous the best xx
You are amazing!!!! That is so similar to my labor story. I was told I was over reacting and that I would probably have to go home. Than I had my baby an hour later with no pain relief! Thanks for telling you story! Well done! Xxx
Wow, that midwife didn't sound too pleasant. As a healthcare student I can tell you that she did not mean it personally, you almost have to turn your emotions off to protect yourself, and if you weren't so far along in labour you could have definitely have asked for another midwife. So happy for you, congratulations xx
Why do I find this kind of videos so entertaining I'm not even planning on having a baby anytime soon
You could call the series MummyMidwife. I loved the video and it made me remember my brother when he was that age. He is soo cute and you are beautiful and you make a fantastic mum xxxx
Love you lots xxx
Thank you so much for sharing in such detail! My baby boy is due any day now :) I loved how honest you were too. Can't wait for baby updates!
Well done Kate!
Considering it was your first time and what you had to go through. The way you were treated by that nurse is just not fair! That nurse deals with births everyday but for you of course you're not going to know what to going to feel and experience and people should be considerate of that! I know I wouldn't know how to cope!
Rant aside, well done! you made it all look so effortless in your vlog! x
Hi Kate, I had my little boy on the 29th September so he's not far behind Archie! Your birth was so quick, mine ended in forceps so was hard work but they are so worth it! I love watching your videos Kate and thank you for sharing your experiences, please do more mummy vids!! Xx
Hi Kate, I gave birth to my gorgeous little boy 4 weeks ago today. My labour was a little similar to yours. I was due the 26th September and went over by 2 days. My waters went at 4.20am that Sunday morning and my contractions started at 6am. My hospital told me to come up at 10am to be checked over. Unfortunately there wasn't a bed/room available until 11am. While waiting I was having a lot of pressure like I needed to poo as well. When they took me took me to the room the midwife examined me and told me I was 8cms. My baby boy then arrived at 12.45 weighing 7lb8oz. Like you said I expected atlot worse than it actually was. And going off his birth I would have another if it was the same lol. Xxx
I loved this video (Just stumbled across your channel this evening, and loving it), and congratulations on your beautiful baby! Its so interesting hearing this from your side of the story- I'm a final year student midwife in London, so its really sad to hear you didnt get the kind of midwife you had hoped for, maybe she was having a bad week.. (not really an excuse).
Although it must have been annoying being turned away from the hospital, women do so much better labouring at home, and you got to 9cm by yourself! thats amazing! anyway, congratulations and Im really looking forward to watching you're future videos! xx
Great video. Thank you Kate. I'm due at the end of Feb and you've really reassured me. Archie is gorgeous congratulations xx
When you do your Month update could you speak about losing baby weight? and the body feels after giving birth?:)
Thanks for doing this video. I am 19 weeks and have been very nervous for weeks about the birth and this has helped me. I might watch this video again when I'm 30-something weeks :) midwives can be so horrible :( my community midwife isn't the nicest but at my 16 weeks appointment she was on holiday and I had the nicest midwife from the neighbouring area and I wish I had her!! I love all your baby related videos keep them up :)
Archie is amazing, and so are you Kate, sounds like you did an amazing job! However that midwife has really got me angry! I am actually studying to be a midwife and the LAST thing we are supposed to do is supposed to do is tell you your feelings and opinions are invalid. That woman really needs to re-evaluate her career! Midwifery is a demanding and hard job and i guess sometimes that gets the worst out of people. But in a career where your job is to support and nurture mother and baby, there is no room for judgement and malice! And i just don't understand why she assumed you were in early labor before she even checked you!! I really am so upset by the ignorance, especially since i work with such amazing midwives every day. Hopefully babies in the future will be delivered by a different midwife!! It seems to me like you would really benefit from a homebirth or a birthing center birth (if they have birthing centers in the UK), they are much less stressful than being in a hospital, and if you are doing a homebirth you really can just stay at home and have the equipment and midwives come to you!! Best of luck, thanks for finding time to post these kinds of videos, i love them!!
Very well said! I'd of been so upset if I was Kate :( x
Yeah I qualified as a midwife - the midwife in this story did not go about her job in the right way. Luckily, most midwives I worked with were better than that. It's the womans experience, not the midwifes.
I'd love to see more videos like this kate! Archie is so adorable!!
I love these videos so much!! I'm only 15 but it gets me so excited to have a baby, all his clothes are adorable and you and Ricky are such lovely parents, was so heartwarming send my love to you all xx
I'm not even pregnant but this video made me cry lol! Good luck to you guys xxxxxxx
Your so pretty🎀love you🎀Archie's so cute with you and your husband❤️
He is her fiance
I love your hauls Kate :) this video bought back so many happy memories for me. I'm so sorry that you didn't feel you had a bond with your midwife. Some of them need some lessons is common courtesy xx
Thanks for sharing! I'm currently 35 weeks pregnant and trying to get some last minute advice ;)
I've just watched your hospital bag video. Would you consider writing a blog post about what you actually used out of it? I'm interested to hear what you did and didn't use in the end. I feel like I've overpacked but only want to take the essentials! x
Definitely should do a monthly update on Archie =) Do more mummy and baby ones =)
