WHO AM I?
I'm Charlotte.
I'm 28, love carbs, rubbish 90's music, Prosecco and baths without finding a bath toy stuck under my bum.
I have a little boy called Bill (born June 2012) and a little girl called Daisy (born April 2016).
I am, very recently, a full-time vlogger and blogger (the stuff dreams are made of), but I am also a trained journalist, former magazine editor, and content lead.
I'm also part of Channel Mum - which is really worth checking out if you're a mama like me and want to find videos to make you laugh, cry, nod, or get advice. / channelmum
I was a single mum, just me and Bill. But then I had a bit of a fairytale moment when I met Mark (he's a bit lovely) and things are better than I could have hoped for now. Daisy was born with Stickler Syndrome, and a cleft palate like me. Her start has been rocky but she'll be fine. She's got a family who adore her after all.
I know that all mums are different in their own way, but I hope you enjoy seeing snippets of my life, all the same.

Aww I have most of the same symptoms. Vivid dreams, peeing at all times of the night... Which causes me to feel tired or flat during the day. I haven't felt my baby yet and am slightly jealous of all the moms who have at this stage already. Thanks for the great videos Charlotte!!
I promise you will feel those kicks and wiggles soon Michelle! It might just be due to where your placenta is! You must be so excited! Wishing you and baby lots of love! xx
Love your videos, information and sense of humor! I look forward to watching your video every week! Thanks so much for validating the crazy feelings. I definitely had a few unexpected outbursts that felt unusual but now I know that is totally normal!
You are looking fabulous Hun. Really enjoying your bump updates! ❤️
2022 and 18 weeks pregnant... A paranoid new mum... Just hoping for the best ❤️❤️❤️
hi charlotte! I'm 18 weeks+2 today. love watching your updates....makes me feel I'm not alone. don't have many friends and even less who have had a baby so nice to hear from someone who can share their experience. I'm due the 20th march :)
You are glowing Charlotte! Looking wonderful as always, love hearing how this pregnancy is different to Bill and Daisy's. Keep Rocking Mama 👍🏼
+Harriet Wiley Oh thank you Harriet! I am really starting to enjoy being pregnant now. I can’t believe how different this little boy is - I can’t wait to meet him! xx
I am 17 +2 with baby#2 so love watching your videos as I can see what might happen the next week with baby etc :)
I love your videos. I'm 18 weeks and 3 days. I've literally been following your videos weekly since I was like 6 weeks along. Thank you for your informational videos.
Aaaaw I am also 18 weeks currently and I really feel fat... First pregnancy and its so hard not fitting in things anymore. You are so right. I also find my hair is drier. You are looking great!
I love watching your videos. Thank you so much
I love your videos so much!
due March 20th, also feeling very chill despite that I'm usually also a very sensitive and emotional girl. I enjoy your videos so much and impatiently waiting to feel my baby girl move, so jealous!
I’m 18 weeks and a half and the dreams are literally insanely real.. it takes me a minute to wake up and get back into reality with things.. and the best part is feeling the baby move around 😍 baby’s getting so strong now 😭❤️ only two more weeks until the gender reveal 😩
Aaeaea
Due March the 17th and loving these videos!xxx
Also wired dreams too, I noticed I'm sicker in second trimester then my first.
Definetly the weird dream too , so strange , love being able to relate to your Vids 😀
I'm 18 weeks pregnant 🤰! I have the same vivid dream thing going on where I still feel as if I'm in the dream. We get to find out for sure the gender in 19 days! Love your videos!
Lmao "sore achy crotch" hilarious but know what you mean! I love how you give it to us so real, it's so hard watching blogs where they play down symptoms x
Yep, I’ve had weird dreams too! I’m due Jan 17th 2020 :)
Aliya Mathiesen me too !
Aliya Mathiesen Me too.. I dreamed one night that our entire house was cover in Rats, I was pretty creep out. When I woke up I was more then glad it was only a dream🤣
That’s my birthday!!!!! 😆
Hi Charlotte. Just wanted to say hi. I'm a new subscriber living in Ireland who is 19 weeks pregnant with baby number #3. I'm originally from Stockport so like watching your vlogs as you remind me of a lot of my friends back home. Congrats on the pregnancy. I can relate on the dreams, lack of sleep and back pain that you're feeling at the moment.
+Tara December Oh Tara! Wow! Hello! I was born at Stepping Hill and know Stockport well! Do you know what you are having? Are you excited about having three? I’m a bit nervous but I can’t wait for our family to be complete too! xx
Small world isn't it. I was born at St Mary's and I think that's where you said your were going for your scan soon. Best of luck with it. Don't know the gender of my baby and won't find out till it's here but we have a boy and a girl already. Bit worried about coping with 3 kids but hopefully my little girl will be a help as she turns 3 at Xmas and just loves babies so long may it last. Love watching the vlogs keep up the good work x
I'm 33 weeks today! Only one more week of work before I go on maternity leave. Looking forward to it as it is starting to get quite hot in Australia (my work doesn't have air conditioning). Glad to hear all is going well for you, enjoying following your journey.
+featherandbow Oh well done you! I’m so pleased you get to relax a bit soon. It must be so tough being pregnant in that heat! What a champ you are! It’s usually quite chilly here! Do you know what you are having? xx
Charlotte Louise Taylor it has been a challenge, but I will also miss my students and friends when I go on leave. This is our first baby and we are having a girl!
Omg your bump ❤️🤗 you're pretty much half way there 🤗
+LifeasKaren It’s growing now! I love knowing he’s there with me all the time. I’m so excited to meet him. Hasn’t it flown! xx
I love your videos! I watch them everytime I change to a new week. I am due July 2019 and I am having the same crazy dreams and mad acne; however, I haven't felt the baby move. I'm hoping to feel baby soon. Thanks again for your support with these videos I always look forward to them! 💓
I'm 18 weeks today with my 4th and it sure is different every time! This pregnancy has been a shocker I found out at 16 wks vs 6 wks with my other three so it was definitely a shock I'm also just now showing. My back's in more pain and of course the gas pains lol also just now getting over the morning/afternoon sickness that started three weeks ago so that's good.
The bathroom visits 20xs a day and the intense thirst for water is insane for me too! I can't stand my pregnancy pillow so I have a pillow on my lower back and thighs from laying on one side all night! I also find the baby has moved up a little than last week.
Hi my names Antonia, I’ve watched your videos every week since finding out I was pregnant at 5 weeks. We are very similar in how are pregnancy has gone so far (I’m nearly 19 weeks now). Also from the UK and having a baby boy.
I'm 18week pregnant!!..it's very interesting to see baby movement but having abit difficult to sleep well at night,and you know what i love to sleep on the right
Me2
Ahhh I'm 22 weeks but my son was born the same week as Daisy! Love your updates xxx
+Holly Usher Ah we are technically bump buddies again Holly! Wow! Do you know what you are having this time? xx
+Charlotte Louise Taylor ahh yes a little girl this time! Eek! So exciting - we are v lucky X X
I'm 18 weeks with twins today i always have fun dreams too
I'm one day behind you 😊
I'm 18 weeks today I have them dreams too x
Mothers go through so much during pregnancy..that's why in my religion Islam, mothers are so revered that Paradise is considered under their feet (I.e. if you serve them well then one way ticket to Paradise)
I’m 18 weeks pregnant today with my first baby it’s a girl 👶🎀
Weird dreams too, heartburn, dizzy spells occasionally, drinking ice water all the time, a little tired too. Waiting for her to move, it’s making me nervous
Have had the craziest dreams ever on my pregnancy too am 15 weeks pregnant
You've GOT this mommy.😄 Loads of prayers & love being sent to you.💛💛💛
Remember to get your rest... Take time for you love.
#HormoneHairProblemsOhMy
I couldn't help lol on the "emotional" part. 😉 😁😄
Please stay lovely flower🌸💚
Love💌 & Blessings⛪
I’m due 21stMay!!💙💙
Still amazes me n can't believe am having my baby on my birthday
Feel like am carrying my own twin🤰🤰🤰
My hair was driving me mad as well !! I’m a dancer and had hair down to my boob and it was so unmanageable ... cut it into a shoulder length bob and I love it 😊 Shorter hair would really suit you 💕 Glad you’re feeling alright and congrats for 18 weeks xx
+Mia Nicholls Oh congratulations Mia! How many weeks are you now? I’ve had a good two inches cut off - had a hair cut yesterday - and it feels so much better and less limp! Yay! And thank you. I feel so much better than I did! xx
Charlotte Louise Taylor I’m not pregnant, not for a while lol ... I just thought I’d share how much short hair is so practical with day to day life ❤️❤️
+Mia Nicholls Oh bless you Mia! That’s my baby brain! I always want to go shorter but Mark loves mine long! Loving having a few inches off though. Do you dance in shows and things? That’s amazing! xx
Iam 18 week and 2 day I can't sleep coz of my bad dream I scare if my baby not fine I can't wait for my scan to see every thing fine and also gum bleeding so badly can't stop going to toilet same and when I turning at night I feel strong pain so low of my tummy like burning cramping I feel the baby is so low like I thing it coming out any minute Iam so worried what's wrong I just wait for scan on 17 of October wish u best luck and healthy baby and congratulations again good luck
Love your updates Charlotte. I’m 15 weeks today, I went to my first aquanatal class this week... it was fab! I’ve got my community midwife appointment on Wednesday, I hope she listens to the heartbeat, not heard it yet so desperate to. When did you start feeling your little boy wiggle? It’s my first so probably won’t be for another few weeks, but I’m really looking forward to that. 😀❤️ x
+Kelly Parker Oh amazing Kelly! Congratulations! Do you recommend aquanatal? I’d love to try something like that. I heard baby boy’s heartbeat at my 16 week appointment so you should be able to too! I felt him properly move around 16/17 weeks. Sometimes it can be a bit longer with your first, but I promise it won’t be long! xx
Charlotte Louise Taylor I would defiantly recommend Aquanatal, I live in Prestwich so went to one up in North Manchester but think they do them all over. It was led by a midwife (she was in the pool with us) and was nice to chat to other pregnant ladies.
Eeek so excited for the heartbeat and first movements!
Love the baby bump!
Ah thank you Valerie! xx
New subscriber, I am also 18 weeks pregnant :)
Oh congratulations Jasmine! I turned 19 weeks yesterday! xx
Can u add a link for your top please Charlotte 💕
I am 18weeks as well due same date and my dreams are mad too they have been very weird dreams. Xx
katharine clark awwww that's sooo nice I hope everything goes well.
+katharine clark Oh congratulations Katherine! We are bump buddies! My dreams are driving me crazy. I find some of them hilarious. And others are just so strange and so confusing! Why can’t I dream about Ryan Gosling eh? 😂 xx
18th weeks and 4 days 🙏
I’ve always been told I have fine hair but a lot of it too but mine is falling out in clumps at the moment. I thought that was supposed to happen after the birth 🙈 x
I had hair fall last year before even got preg in dec 2020 and it finally slow the fall out at 18 weeks
Since I got pregnant I have had extremely strange and vivid dreams. If I have thought or seen someone during the day it's almost guaranteed I will dream about them, also news, work and school will show up in my dreams. I am only 10 weeks today, I am so tired of dreams!
Oh bless you Susan! Me too! I sometimes end up waking up feeling tired, which is never very fun! I just don't seem to feel well-rested! Fingers crossed they go away soon for both of us! xx
I've had a ache second pregnancy, I finally had some relief yest at 18 week 4 days but then I was doing my normal leg workout at home on floor I got up wrong and hurt my ligaments so I freaked wrote nurse which she had been ignoring my emails dunnk why I am expecting and need help :( I know it says ligaments and that we cant really hurt baby unless get punch kick etc right not by liftig my self up wrong as sharp right to middle was 5 seconds or so and now ache some 15 min later just wish didnt be so cautious made me move that way on floor :( been having struggling as my new nurse ignores me
What u craving salty or sweet ?
Half a big ruler 😂
I still always use a school ruler in my head to quantify the length of things haha. X
Have you had Braxton Hicks yet? I’m 18 weeks and I have been getting them all the time
I’m trying to remember back, but I think I usually get them later on in pregnancy! Everyone is different though! You must be so excited! My baby is two now! xx
I'm 15 weeks and struggling with pain and bleeding. Doctor found babies heartbeat yesterday but I can't have a scan until Monday and I'm going out of my mind 😥
My dreams are also crazy and I can't sleep past 5:30 x
+Charlene Shepherd Oh Charlene. Bless you. I’m so sorry that you are in limbo. Is there any way you can get a quick private scan this weekend? Keep me posted. xx
Could twitches in lower abdomen once-twice a day be first baby movements? I have no idea what they are x
Me too, I was wondering what it was
Most likely that's how mines felt
Im 18 weeks with my first baby... but its so frustrating that i am not able to feel him move. :(
Don’t worry lovely. It can take a little longer to feel your first. I promise it will happen soon! And it will be the most amazing feeling when it does! XX
I was 18 weeks on Tuesday and I still can't really feel much.. I keep thinking I do then it's wind... FAB!! Xxx
I’m 18 weeks with my first baby too and still haven’t felt my little one yet either. It makes me nervous, but I guess all babies grow on their own pace. 🤷🏻♀️
Is anyone feeling contractions?! I'm 17weeks 4days and last night night i had several contractions! I feel worried, is it normal to have it at this stage??
How did you go Doris ? Apparently braxton hicks can sometimes start that early.... hope all went well for you !
Some of the time it's constipation lol. Yesterday I was sat down and when I went to stand up I was in pain and couldn't walk straight. Then I went to the loo and immediately felt better 😅😂
I’m due March 18th with a little boy! 💕
Congratulations Bump Buddy! xx
Congratulations same but don't know gender yet lol
I'm having a boy as well! Round ligament pain has been intense. Thanks so much for posting - I can relate so much! Cheers 😉
I’m due July 20th, 2021!! I’m 18 weeks
Me too😘😘
Arent you supposed to avoid hair colouring during pregnancy?
This is the advice I followed - from the NHS in the UK! www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/pregnancy/is-it-safe-to-use-hair-dye-when-i-am-pregnant-or-breastfeeding/ xx
I’ve had those dreams - I’ve been waking my partner up every night.
lucky! i've got the achey crotch going right now im just 18 weeks now.
Melissa Hargiss oh no! I am also 18weeks and finding that gas is my biggest symptom at the moment... No matter what I eat.
ive just got to keep moving around more oftern and stretch more!
I'm 17.5 weeks pregnant. I'm going into my 18th week and my back pain is crazy. My butt pain if I eat something spicy my butt hole itches like crazy. I'm so sorry but it is what it is. I have a hard time sleeping. I'm tossing and turning in these weird dreams like I'm kissing someone but I don't know if I'm in the dream or not in the dream. It's so real like she said. But I haven't felt baby move at all like 15 or 16 weeks. I was feeling the quickening but now I'm not feeling anything. So I ordered the Doppler so I'm excited when that will come November 1 so I can hear a heartbeat and maybe that will help me with my paranoid anyways sleeping. I'm sleeping weird hours. I don't know if I'm preparing for baby or not but it's just weird. After work I'll go to sleep and then I'll wake up at like 12:00 a.m. and then I'll go back to sleep that maybe 2:00 a.m. or 3:00 and then get up again at 7:00 or 8:00? It's just weird but I was sleeping like that before I got pregnant also. So
I have to laugh at the constant peeing at night. I had that all the time with all 3 pregnancies...never had a solution to help that. I too am a mom of 3 with same order as you..B.G.B. And my girl is defined the wild one too. I just uploadeded my first ever CZcams video. Any tips would me amazing. Thanks!!
Oh well done Emily! I shall have to pop over and subscribe! Nice to meet someone with B, G, B too! I'm so excited to meet him and find it so funny that your daughter us your wild child too! xx
thank you for replying!! so nervous to start a channel but excited to learn the ins and out.
I'm 15 weeks and struggling with pain and bleeding. Doctor found babies heartbeat yesterday but I can't have a scan until Monday and I'm going out of my mind 😥
Charlotte ur my favourite youtuber u make me soo carm xXx
+Nora Omar Thank you so much Nora! I love your name! It’s beautiful! xx
Were you big at 18 weeks with your 1st?x
No! I was much smaller - every pregnancy you seem to pop a bit sooner as your body remembers what it's doing! xx
I'm nearly 18 weeks and I'm tiny xx
Don’t worry! I promise that tum will pop soon! xx
Wow I know it late but congrats!!😇 and it's really a girl? That are big and I'm 19 week pregnant🥰/5month I'm kinda plus-size but it really small, not like your, I knew all women are differents type🤰❤️ congrats to all women🤰
Did u find gender ?
i keep having dreams. I had a dream that I have birth 10 weeks early and I didn't know what the sex was until I changed its nappy and it was a boy. I also had another dream that I have birth and he nurse told me it was a girl but when she handed me my baby it a a boy. Felt so real haha 😀
