Baby's Coming! ☕ The Future Of My Channel & 3rd Trimester Update

[@midgarflowers]

I’m very happy you’re deciding not to do the typical “mommy vlogger” thing and are keeping baby off the internet. Kids deserve their privacy, and this is your channel, not his after all! Good luck with everything, I hope everyone stays happy and healthy!!

[@nartyteek]

Yeah, I feel so lucky everything I did in the 80s and 90s is under lock and key. My old home movies aren't even in a playable format anymore lol. Now no one will know how dumb I looked when I got head lice!

[@monicarosado5393]

Coincido contigo al 1000000% ❤❤❤

[@loissage3630]

I am so proud of you and your husband for making the decision to parent privately. I have enjoyed your pregnancy content and wish you the best for your little family.

[@BebeDaull]

I'm a little sad we won't ever get to meet baby, but at the same time, I fully understand the choice.

[@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I agree. Your child deserves privacy, as do you! ❤❤❤

[@parvanaturalia]

my daughter wants you to know that the baby is better when it's outside your belly, bc then it can smile. 4 yr olds are amazing.

[@racheljames7]

The baby is fine right now. It can't smile straight away, it takes a few months, so is the baby less a being before it can smile? This is why I don't get on with other women, they talk such waffle.

[@Marianne-F]

That is so cuute ♥ How children word things, and their sweetness and view of the world is just so precious and cool ♥

[@gbuireh6497]

​@@racheljames7 why are you criticising a 4 year old child for saying that? She is a child. I thought it was cute.

[@impposter560]

@@racheljames7 Considering you are critiquing the sweet words of a tiny child, I have a feeling you don't get along with children either. Which is a shame

[@uschilou]

​@racheljames7 Dude, calm down, let people enjoy things.

[@jmcmurrah]

Your decision to not share your baby on the internet is VERY VERY WISE. We will enjoy your baby through your own happiness and anecdotes. :)

[@impposter560]

Never been so happy to learn I will NOT see a baby. Not having your early life shared on the internet sometimes seems like an increasingly rare privilege for children, and its so good to hear that your child will be spared from that. Wishing you an easy, joyful birth!

[@InThisEssayIWill...]

Thank you so much for respecting your child's privacy. I know that sentence can look silly to some people but the INTERNET IS FOREVER! Literally anything and everything that you put on it will be here forever and the idea of having my every moment documented is terrifying. Jessica kelgren-fozard does a GREAT job of integrating her motherhood into her content without making it the focal point and without exposing her child to the world's gaze. It's a model I wish more parents would adopt. 💚

[@dees3179]

She does indeed. I’ve also noticed a lot of people recently who have a few videos when the baby is very young where they appear which’appeases’ the audience but as soon as they are more than a baby blob then stop showing them or do as Jessica does and just show their back or heavily blur them out if them come into shot. it’s quite uncomfortable watching some channels that feature their children heavily without these measures and to be honest I generally end up clicking away as I don’t think it is fair on the kids who can’t consent. So glad there are increasingly parents that are aware of this and prepared to take a stand on it.

[@courtneyandkavita7703]

It's such a wise and caring decision to keep your baby off the internet! Good luck and congratulations!

[@whatkatyread5166]

Much as I'd enjoy some loepsie parenting content, I think it's a very wise decision to keep baby off the internet.

[@MsBlulucky]

Please take all the time you and baby need! Even if that means you won't be able to make & upload new videos for a while. We'll be fine and we can always rewatch your older videos 💕

[@carole3680]

Lucy, the modern woman, full of inspiration, examples of the best of life in making this new little one. Your family of three, be it all or no, fills my heart with joy for having been a part of the journey thus far. Announced plans post partum are so sensible and prudent. As seen in neighboring countries, viewers can be overboard in demands for your time. Blessings for you, dad, baby and your extended family.

[@asuniqueasthespellingofmyn1124]

I have 7 blessings...on a childs birthday is the same day a parent is born. You will do great and remember you NEED to take care of you. Even if its something small-for you-something you dont have to share. It may feel impossible at times but do it anyway. Take care of you! Welcome to the club Superwoman❤🎉

[@sisterclp]

As many others I've been following you since the Arwen braid days. So exciting to see us growing up 🙂 Good luck with the delivery and all the best for your family ✨

[@vaniaduarte4412]

I wish you and the baby all the best. I'm glad you chose to parent outside the internet, this is definitely not a good place for children and they deserve the best. I hope you have a quick and safe birth.

[@icaro_andstuff]

Wooooooo, keep that baby out of the Internet!!!! Congrats!!!

[@pinkcloud888]

I never comment on your videos but I have followed you for years, since your beginnings 😊 I hope your birth goes great and you greatly enjoy your new stage with your baby. I wish your family a long and happy life 💜

[@ginkgophytale]

So happy and excited for you!! Please take your time to heal and enjoy baby ❤

[@CapucineAbadie]

Good 👏 for 👏 you 👏 keeping baby off the internet! Great decision, I'm sure almost all of us totally support you there! ❤ Wishing you allll the very best as you prepare for your little one's birth and I hope you have the most lovely blessed maternity leave 💮🌻

[@estefania3090]

I hope you have a safe delivery and all the happiness in this new stage in your life. ❤

[@minounah]

Wishing you a beautiful, joyous birthing !! You should know: I've been vegetarian for decades, but had been too lazy to completely cut out dairy products. Learning about your (mostly) vegan pregnancy made it very clear to me that I have no good excuse not to do so myself and I have now made the transition and It feels so good to live in complete alignment with my values. Your content has literally changed my life for the better. Hear that youtube!! We want to be notified of Loepsie's uploads!! 🥰

[@lindalou83]

Please dont put yourself under pressure to be back to any kind of normal too quickly! You will find a new normal when baby is here 😊 enjoy this precious time with your little one ❤

[@Melissa-fz9tk]

Have you seen the belly support band/belt products...that might help with the belly pain. Praying all goes well with the labor and delivery! So excited for you, your husband, and family... these are the sweetest of moments that fly by too quickly! ❤

[@Peggythepebble]

Best wishes for your delivery! Very good decision to keep your little one off the internet. My family all live abroad (and dad's side are also abroad) but since he turned 6m we stopped doing any face pictures of our little one on our social medias (which are all private and very tight security settings anyway). Best decision ever!

[@Huitasunna]

I have been following you for sooo many years (since the longhair days) it is so unreal how we have both changed over the years and now we are both pregnant at the same time! Wishing you a healthy and easy birth and a wonderful time with your newborn

[@crazilious]

Same, we're so different but she's such a part of my life

[@strawberry1025]

Wishing you a very happy and healthy delivery for you and babe. ❤ I remember the bruised ribs, l'd forgotten! And the glorious emotional equanimity of the middle trimester. My normally anxious self calmed right. down.

[@janabreazeale3184]

Aww Lucy! I’ve been watching you from almost the beginning. I’m so excited for you! Becoming a parent is so wonderful. Not always easy but definitely one of the most rewarding things you can do. I have 2 sons and being a boy mom has been so sweet. I’ll be praying you have a smooth delivery and recovery and a healthy baby. Y’all will do great!

[@aoifemcgee-of8ve]

Hoping your home birth goes as planned and that baby is born happy and healthy, wishing you love and happiness with everything. Postpartum is forever so please rest, hydrate, eat nourrishing foods and dont be afraid to ask for help from your husband or loved ones! Remember this is your special time!

[@MrsBrit1]

If you've got some stretchy fabric, or even a stretchy baby carrier, fashion yourself a belly sling for the last few weeks, especially when you know you're going to be up and about more. I remember pregnancy causes "round ligament pain", but they're lower down, but this sounds similar, just in a different area. Having the weight of baby carrier by the sling should help alleviate some of your discomfort.

[@LornaKelso]

Best wishes for your baby's birth Lucy! Looking forward to seeing you again when you are ready.

[@justathumb]

so so excited for you Loepsie :') you're in for the most incredible journey. just know that it's OKAY to not enjoy every day 😅 it's very much a long game with babies and kids - u can feel frustrated for days/months, and then suddenly they change and grow and amaze you! it's the most worthwhile effort you'll ever make ❤ congrats! 🌿✨

[@eva303]

Thank you Lucy!! I was so afraid that you would turn into a mommy vlogging channel. Thank you for respecting your baby's privacy. Best of luck mama, and happy birthday baby!

[@keeperofthedomus7654]

I'm 34 weeks now! You're doing great! Prayers for a safe and easy delivery for you! My husband is very tall and 1/4 Dutch. Our first baby was a boy. He was a giant compared to the rest of his siblings! He was also very late, so hopefully your little one will be more punctual 😂

[@theardentarcher]

My son was breech so I didn’t get the rib kicks, but I did get kicks so low that it felt like he was going to kick his way out! Not a great feeling 😂 I’m so excited for you that your pregnancy has gone so well and that your placenta previa is gone. 😊

[@kellimbt]

Best wishes Lucy! I hope everything goes well and that you have plenty of time to rest and enjoy your family!

[@lipstickcats2047]

Blessings for a safe, healthy, and peaceful delivery!! May your child's birth be full of love and joy. 💜And bless you for choosing to protect your baby's privacy- you are giving them a wonderful gift by allowing them the freedom to engage with the internet exclusively on their own terms when they are old enough to do so someday. Thank you as well for choosing to maintain your regular content. I've had to say good-bye to so many content creators whose work I loved because they became parents and suddenly every upload was about parenting and kid stuff. I love your videos and I look forward to continuing to enjoy them!

[@marissasimpson3849]

I love all your content and am happy to hear you are doing so well! I am just a few weeks behind you and am almost 39 weeks. I can't wait to see your new content!

[@ceslestrialfairy]

I follow a Canadian creator, who keeps her kids off her channel. You can hear them sometimes in the background but beyond an introduction of the little one when born, you never ever see the kids and it refreshing. Her stance was they can decide when they are old enough to understand, but my job isn’t their job and even the. I probably will still not allow their faces to show. So brava for your choice, kids should be able to grow up anonymous!

[@yasminceleste3844]

It’s crazy to think that I discovered your channel just before you got engaged and followed you since - through a wedding, house move and now pregnancy! Love following this journey, I hope everything goes well xx

[@bethanyhutchinson6714]

Wishing you a safe and easy delivery and a healthy baby boy! I think it’s great that you will be keeping your son private, but I hope you’ll choose to share his name with us! I love hearing the names people choose for their little ones! ❤

I hope everything goes well with the birth and baby arrives safe and sound, which I'm sure he will :) I fully respect your decision not to have baby on the internet, but I'd love a neck down picture of him in the lovely clothes you made for him if you feel so inclined :) but totally understand if you don't! Looking forward to hearing when he's born ❤

[@celestialskye1]

Can't wait to hear that baby 🍼 has arrived 🥳💖

[@linibellini]

First of all congratulations on your little boy, I saw on Instagram that he's already here for a few weeks now! 🥰 I'm watching this in the middle of my second trimester and I am already a bit impatient to be at the point you're at in this video. The first trimester I had extreme backpain and nausea and about zero energy, I couldn't work at all and was just stuck in bed most days. The second trimester is a tiny bit better so far but I have still only about 30% of my normal energy and am still on anti-nausea meds... I must admit, I'm always a bit envious when I hear others talk about how much energy or how little symptoms they had...😅

Wishing you a beautiful birth experience! Congratulations to you and Robbert on the upcoming birth of your son! :)

It's early days for me (13 weeks!) but I so appreciate everything you have shared about your pregnancy, Lucy! Thanks to your story, I was able to clock my "period" as implantation bleeding and find out about baby much sooner. I have also experienced such a dramatic uptick in my mental health, which would have been more confusing if you hadn't shared a similar experience. I've been watching since your early sewing content, and am so happy for you and Robbert as you welcome your precious new family member. Sending warm wishes of an easy birth, healthy baby, and comfortable recovery!

Very wise decision to keep your child off of the internet. We are visiting the Netherlands now (Utrecht and Efteling) and it seems like a great place to raise a child!

[@dottiewi661]

All the best wishes for the birth. May everything go to plan! Baby content: your channel, your decision! Other parents go back to their former jobs, also… though, if you ever felt inclined to create some “growing with baby” clothes, you’d have at least one person to watch that video.

It's your decision and you shouldnt be influenced by us, but just wanted to echo the people affirming your choice to keep Baby off the internet!

[@zingara76]

We’re pregnant at the same time. I’m also due in few days. Same had a great time in my 2, but the 3 trimester was little bit different. I think is good to not show baby on social media, however it could be nice to have some content about life experiences as a mom.

[@jenniferfleming9018]

Glad your placenta moved and that you've had an easy pregnancy and that you are grateful for it, hope birthing is just as wonderful! Water birth is amazing, I got to do an almost home birth in a birthing tub at a birthing center 5 minutes away from my house. No regrets choosing midwifery/natural birth (it does exist here in America if one looks for it/lucky enough to have it nearby!). Also I give you respect for your choice to leave baby out of your videos. In general I think people expect women to be overcome by motherhood and reform our identity to our children when we still really want to be ourselves too. Just like I don't want "mom" friends, I don't really watch mom creators either, I want to connect with people over mutual interests and values, outside of the fact that we have kids. However, it is so fun to see a favorite creator also happen to be a mom!
