    Honestly you have no idea how refreshing it is to hear you talk about how your feeling right now. I’ve been watching all your recent vlogs after giving birth and thinking how is she doing it? How are you (seemingly) carrying on as normal as if the baby has barely affected your life and honestly it has made me feel a little down thinking why can’t I be like you and be on top of everything so Thankyou for your honestly Gemma it’s comforting to hear I’m not the only one going through this right now ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I have an 11 month old, and I suffered badly at the beginning of her life, in thd newborn days up to 3 months old. I struggled badly with baby blues/postpartum anxiety, for absolutely no reason, I'd just get overwhelming feelings of dread, worry, and dreaded the nights because lack of sleep was the trigger for my anxiety, it was hard! I struggled to clean the house, cook, do myself up, go out, everything was just so overwhelming to do and navigate life was just in general horrible. Fast forward to when she was 6 months it calmed down and as she got older and bigger and slept better my feelings and hormones wore off. I really take my hats off to you for even having the energy to even set up, film, edit and then upload. I myself upload a few videos here and there but since having baby I just haven't had thr time as well as working 😭 to see you say that you were having a bad day with these similar feelings. Made me feel less alone, because do you know what…. NOONE ever speaks about it?? Like everyone that's had a baby on YouTube (everyone now) atleast all the girls I watch anyways… all seem like their life is hunky dory and makes me feel like I'm not normal for feeling this way, why are they not feeling these feelings? How comes they just popped a baby and their life doesn't seem affected at all? Is it all just for the camera? I don't know but I honestly struggled so much but it helped to speak about it to friends and family. So thank you for being relatable 🤍😭

    Thank you for being so open about your feelings. I've had the feeling you describe for seven years and it got even worse with my second child. It just feels like you're never done. It's like having an endless to-do list and never being able to rest and relax 😩.

    Motherhood definitely isn't all rainbows and roses. 😬 Such a massive change. took me so long to settle in and get used to it. Didn't seem real for a long time. For me I think it was a huge shock. But I love my son so much unconditionally and have done seen day 1. He's taught me so much and helped me grow as a person xx

    It is soooo hard when they’re teething! Theirs honestly nothing really you can do than just ride it out. I swapped from calpol and nurofen. Also used teething granules etc. And honestly your right, everyone has bad days. Just do whatever you need to do to get through them days. Get some ready meals in for them days and don’t put to much pressure on yourself xx

    Gemma, don’t ever apologise for feeling like a bad mum, we are all different and thank goodness we are, never worry about things that can’t happen, your philosophy is, if it’s meant to be it will be, and not being able to breast feed is one of them, you are healthy and so is Noah, love your vlogs, been following you for over 7 years now and believe me you were the first person I ever watched on YouTube that got me hooked so you are doing things right babe xxxx

    As a fellow cat mom, I can empathize so much with how you’re feeling. You would do absolutely anything for them, so it’s hard when we don’t have a clear direction of how to go about it 😔 I’ve worked in a specialty pet food store for years, and I’ve seen so many people have great success for pain management using CBD oil (pet grade, of course). A lot of older dogs use it for hip and joint pain, so I think it could be worth trying with Tilly if she’s okay otherwise! There are lots of different brands here in Canada, but I’m not sure about other areas. Sending you and Tilly lots of love ❤️

    Aw Gemma I totally relate to you I was the exact same when I had my little one. And it is very normal. Don't feel you have to be positive and have to shake it off if you can't do a day then curl up on the sofa with noah or when he gets to sleep and watch what you love somthing that brings joy to you. I'm sure you already know but my little one loved the cold teething rings with the water in them. Your doing a great job 😊 xx

    Hi Gemma thank you for opening up about your breastfeeding journey. It’s a sensitive topic for me but after 4 babies I want to advise you about some of the points you made. Firstly, I’m sorry they gave the first feed as a bottle as this usually leads to baby rejecting the breast after. The nurses really should have waited for you to return from theatre to get him onto your breast.
    Secondly nipple pain is very normal and getting a good latch can take many many days. If you persist with breastfeeding and endure the pain, it becomes easier after about 10 days, because your nipples need some time to ‘toughen up’. And lastly, milk doesn’t come in late, it comes in about the 5th day after birth, so baby is only feeding on tiny amounts of milk until then.
    I made all these mistakes with my first baby and felt really like a failure and guiltily for why I couldn’t breastfeed.
    It came down to me not having the right support from the hospital staff as they never demonstrated to me how I could achieve a latch and didn’t give me any advice about the pain I would feel or facts about how long it takes for milk to come in.
    It’s all good we all have to do our best to keep our babies happy and happy and if that means formula, then that’s fine 😊

    I’m quite new to your channel Gemma, I just want to say I love your vlogs, I find them very relaxing , and love how down to earth you are, and your honesty on how difficult being a parent can be, but so rewarding. My baby will be 30 in November, where have those years gone!? Enjoy every minute with your gorgeous little boy, and thank you for sharing xx
