STARTING A FAMILY + A RAINY DAY AT RH ENGLAND // Fashion Mumblr Vlogs

[@katstella8930]

I completely understand Josi. I was told that I couldn’t have children which broke my heart (about 8 years ago). After many years of making peace with that and healing my body to the best it could be, my now fiancé and I have been blessed with our six month old baby girl. I understand the heartache of people asking questions, seeing friends progress in their lives which is both wonderful yet painful. Focusing on where you and Charlie are in your lives now, blocking out the white noise and nourish your body will help immensely. Sending love to you both x

[@LisaGregory]

Hello, Josie! It’s also even more of a delicate conversation for us ladies with endometriosis, isn’t it. I am glad that you have approached the conversation in the way that you have - my husband and I had ivf at age 34 to get our little miracle. We wish you every continued success for your futures together xx

[@alanjones9742]

Hi my wonderful josie we love all your videos they are so colourful and your garden is amazing my lovely your house what yr was it builtmay i ask its fantastic we agree with you on the baby matter you and charlie will make great parents can you tell us was the pond there when you moved in do they call the pond free standing much love josie and charlie😊❤😊😊

It is not a miracle. This is a innocent human being you are deciding to put in a broken world hoping the world will be a better place one day, but scientist and facts say otherwise. Meanwhile, You all have kids just to put photos of on social medias to get praises and are against adopting all those abandonned kids. Most if not everyone I know with kids have secret affairs elsewhere or wish they hadn't had kids. Think. This is not about just you.

[@julieann9369]

I married at 35. Had baby girl at 38 , Baby boy at 41. Best thing I’ve ever done. Good luck to you!

[@--M--1111]

Smart. People want to rush into everything. All the ones I know who had kids under 35-38 complained about not being financially mentally and physically energetic enough. They conplain about their youth escaping them their freedom. I know many who had affairs and double secret lives due to not being fulfilled and "damaging" their freedom, career health and youth too young. DESPITE their social media posts of the perfect happy family. Social medias mean nothing. You have to think also about our broken world and climate change.

[@Dorlinedainwen]

i've been hearing this more and more. I'm 34 and ready to settle. The way society makes us feelt, we are used up by 30. I'm glad to hear other people can begin their journey later and that that isnt the case.

[@jennifersanta5057]

Got pregnant at 32. But prior was getting my body ready to hold a baby. Stopped drinking cut sugar and kept up with my gym sessions. Number 1 thing is trying not to stress which my doctor mentioned but it is so hard. So stay positive throughout your journey!! You will be blessed with beautiful children❤

[@gwtr9481]

Struggled 3 years. Many miscarriages. Went to a fertility acupuncture specialist, pregnant straight away our daughter just turned 1! ❤

I have just been talking to my Chiropractor about this!!

[@countylivinginstyle2830]

I just had a baby at 40 planning another one in January, my husband is a headteacher and babies born after sept do so much better in school. I had a baby at 19 and he’s now 21 i feel so much better having a baby at 40 my body bounced back as before but i’m more patient and present then i was back then. Being a mother at 40 just feels perfect ❤

Maybe in the English school system - we have a different intake in Scotland (beginning of February to end of following January) -so my August and September born babies did very well!

Hi Josie, thanks so much for being so sensitive and authentic when talking about fertility. As a married lady with no plans to have children I really appreciate you mentioning this as an option (and that I might not want to explain my choice to just anyone) ❤

[@Marie-lx3wg]

I agree Josie, people shouldn’t ask personal questions at all. It’s none of their business and it could be a sensitive topic. I cannot believe people have the hide to ask! I love your videos Josie! Your style in fashion/home/gardens is stunning. Thank you from Sydney 🇦🇺

[@Bogna1]

Yes, but if she decided to expose her private life on social media? What she was thinking?

[@MoominBetz]

Josie darling no-one absolutely no-one, should be asking you or Charlie when you're starting a family. Especially people who don't even actually know you. You share whatever you want when you're both good and ready even if everyone has guessed beforehand. However you decide and when you decide to have a baby, the important thing is that it will be right for the both of you and that child will be beyond loved!! Take care darling ❤

[@perle13930]

Absolutely

[@Bogna1]

true, but it's her decision to expose her privacy on social media then she should be aware of consequences.

[@keziarosedh]

Im grateful that you tackled the subject of not asking people when they are having babies, or making them justify why they arnt having babies. Im fed up of society looking at me as incomplete cause im not a mother, i have my fur baby, and she is all i need.

[@tinarobinson3265]

100% agree Josie. I’ve been married for 8 years and my husband and I always wanted kids, but also wanted to spend some of our married years just the two of us first. The most annoying question from Family and Friends was asking if we actually wanted them because we didn’t try straight away! We’re now expecting our first and the timing couldn’t have been more perfect for us x I’m also 32.

[@kirakjear9812]

Just watching my sweet baby sleeping in the monitor while watching this. We weren’t actively trying, but I decided to go off birth control and see what would happen. Got pregnant instantly after 15 years of marriage at age 37. I honestly thought it would be a struggle to get pregnant at my age, but apparently not. Sending baby dust your way ❤️ Looking forward to your mom content!

[@Breanna.HouseOfCorgis]

@kirakjear9812 This is really reassuring for me - I got married at 20, currently am 27 and feel like I want to wait another 10 years (which would make me 37) but I often worry about not being able to have a baby at that age. Love reading stories like yours makes my plan feel possible.

[@kirakjear9812]

@@Breanna.HouseOfCorgis Very possible! My friend has a 16 and 18 year old and is pregnant again at 38. Live your life and enjoy marriage!

[@kateforsyth1133]

Josie you couldn’t be more correct. Having had a very difficult time getting pregnant it was particularly painful. Then when we finally welcomed our child, people asked when I’d have another. Awful. Thanks for bringing it up.

[@MagLiz1988]

I had my little girl in January this year, I’m 34 and my husband is almost 40. Having babies in your mid 30s is the best. Good luck to you my dear x

[@thehouseofpie]

When and if you and Charlie decide to have children, you will undoubtedly be amazing parents. The love between the two of you and the life you live will create the most amazing home for a child…not to mention your baby will surely be absolutely adorable 🥰

[@chereeriggs7671]

I completely agree with u about the baby topic. The thing that gets me is the pressure by family & friends, especially the potential grandparents. Why would anyone think it’s ok to pressure someone to have a child?! It’s the biggest responsibility for anyone, to bring a human into the world & raise them. It’s ok to have a life time partner & not be married. It’s ok to not have children. As women we have the choice to conceive &/or marry. I find it rather rude when someone asks, “when’s the wedding?” “When are u having baby?” Once u have one child, people will literally ask u right after u’ve given birth in hospital healing, “so when’s the second one?” I’m married 17yrs with 1 child & he’s 16 now, I’m not having anymore.💖☺️

[@danishpastry6137]

I was lucky my parents have never asked when/ if I'm starting a family, maybe something to do with them being married 7 years before my sister came along - can you imagine this in the 60's with a large local extended family? My MIL did ask my husband when we were going to start a family(we'd been together for a couple of years, but weren't yet married). She then realised that the reason was maybe we couldn't, so it was a little inappropriate to keep asking and hasn't asked since. Although we don't know if we could have kids (never a given), it was an active choice not to, and not one that we've regretted.

[@angelal7141]

I’m clearly invested in you and your blogs Josie as the thought of you having a baby brings me great joy! I’m now 35 and have a 2 year old. It’s the most amazing thing. He is my little gardening buddy. Wishing you all the best on this journey! X

Check out the book It Starts with the Egg by Rebecca Fett. Sperm quality and egg quality are BOTH factors when it comes to falling pregnant. I saw testimonials of people who did IVF but then fell pregnant after taking the tips in the book. Just thought I would share. It does also help with IVF success.

[@LN-rd4hf]

Thank you for showing us RH England- what a remarkable place! I love the way you are increasingly adding music in your vlogs. They come across as very slick and stylish. Also the way the vlogs end with the zooming to your house, the church and your beautiful lawn is quintessentially british and looks like the backdrop of an Agatha Christie novel!

[@hannah50353]

We struggled for years before we went to a fertility clinic for assistance, I have PCOS. All those years of stressing myself silly that I could fall pregnant only to find out that the chances were very slim 🤦‍♀️ but it worked out for us and best of luck on your journey 👍

Just recently found out that I'm expecting my second, I'm 36, and had my first one at 33. My biggest advice if I'm allowed, besides your "public" life, just keep it for yourself as much as possible, the more information you share the more pressure you're putting on it and for this journey you need 0 stress. It will happen when it has to happen and we will be happy once you're able to announce it. Meanwhile, good luck!

Of course PLEASE only share what you are comfortable with, but I'm sure lots of people would appreciate you sharing the good the bad and the ugly of it all!

Thank you for another beautiful vlog x

[@weronikalinda4917]

Thank you for your approach to asking (or not asking, rather) people about having children. I completely agree! It's such an intimate and important subject, and I'm saying that as both someone who personally doesn't want kids, and someone who has loved ones who really wanted to be parents and struggled for a long time. Thank you for sharing this with us! Best of luck on your journey ❤

[@gretchenhejazi9463]

I do not believe in asking or even hinting to someone about starting a family. In my opinion, it is extremely rude, and honestly, no one’s business. I was raised to respect certain subject matters, and not overstep those boundaries. You should never have to explain yourself. Love your channel. Never boring and always informative.

[@jacquelineb8183]

I’m always horrified when people openly ask questions about having children. It’s not only rude but falls into very deep seeded patriarchal roles. It should not be expected that a woman or a couple wants to have children - nor anyone’s business but their own. The only aspect of aging I’m looking forward to is the cessation of the comments and questions which usually come from people who are near strangers.

[@bethangillard2538]

All the best with your fertility journey my lovely. And well done for speaking up! I was 35 when we started trying, 36 when we started having tests, and I will be 37 when we start IVF. Unfortunately we found out that we both have issues and our only chance of conceiving is with IVF. It’s a really difficult journey and one that should not be taboo, but unfortunately is. So pleased you are being open about it. Lots of luck to you in your journey xxx

Had our 1 and only child at age 35 after 4 1/2 years of trying. What bothers me now is when people ask why we didn't give our son a sibling, even knowing that we had fertility struggles. I always want to snap back and ask if they would've paid for our fertility treatments.

[@ummuhancelikel8238]

I had a miscarriage last year and it was the most painful experience to go through I always was sensitive about having kids and since that day I can’t even explain how it hurts when people say “oh you have been married for 5 years” or “ you won’t get any younger you should hurry”

[@danishpastry6137]

This is totally the point! Strangers/ casual acquaintances/ distant aunts are not always privy to painful experiences like miscarriages, so they really shouldn't ask - its just being unnecessarily nosey!

I was very fortunate that when we did decide, at 30, I got pregnant immediately. Pregnancy was difficult. I got pregnant again quickly with twins and lost them at 5 months. Waited and had my third pregnancy at 36 and that was it for me. Pregnancies we horrid….but the end result was the greatest gift. I feel women don’t talk about difficult pregnancies it’s all fairy dust and roses 🥀

soooo true! I dislike that you have to learn all about the hardships on the go, where fueled with hormones you are not thinking straight - and this amplifies any bad experiences. I noticed i was depressed for a about a year after birth of my son, and as soon as i stopped pumping milk, i changed over night and returned to my normal self. I was shocked to notice the difference so quickly while before i just had no idea what was happening.

I have to say Josie that it is completely up to you and Charlie whether you have a family or not and as far as I am concerned none of our business. I would rather you were relaxed and enjoyed life and we don't need to know as long as you are happy. Charlie looked so relaxed on that sofa and the fire so cosy. I don't have a fire but do have a cast iron electric stove that is lovely and in 5 weeks we will get cooler morns and eves and it is fine - seasons change and we enjoy them.

Pregnancy has definitely been tough on me and i have such horrific heart burn and panic attacks for the first time in my life ! obviously its a blessing being able to get pregnant so quickly but i don't think people talk about how hard pregnancy really truly can be and the fact you don't know what symptoms you'll get until you go through it ! wishing you all the absolute best as always my darling

Hi Josie! I know very well what the drizzle is. In my country, Uruguay, it is a quite frequent climatic phenomenon in the coldest months of the year. And not to mention, how disgusting it is, if it is accompanied by wind. Changing the subject: I totally agree with you regarding the questions about your decision to be parents. I went through the same thing while I was married. It is a very delicate subject and sometimes the answer is difficult to formulate. I send you all my love

[@bethan3355]

This is so important, I had so much pressure and we had so many questions from everyone and we were suffering with infertility for two years and every comment hurt. Thanks for being vulnerable, please should leave you alone and wishing you the best for it to happen when you wish 💕

[@JenParker-xn6ju]

I just love your videos Josie 🥰 so many topics I love. Normally I don't comment but felt a bit compelled on with the subject of people asking personal questions around starting a family. I totally agree it is a very sensitive area for many and should be treated carefully. If and when you and Charlie decide to become parents you will be amazing. Sounds like you have a fantastic approach which is to take the pressure off, keep healthy & happy, what better way to go into this fertility journey. Our journey has been extremely difficult, 12 years of fertility treatment, several painful miscarriages (I really feel for the ladies here who have experienced this) and after a lot of soul searching we decided to stop persuing fertility treatment and we're now looking at fostering. The mental health side of fertility is often overlooked, so take care of your self talk and be kind to yourself lovely lady x

[@francescaluciacamarda]

Hi Josie, you are right, It's important to take folate, folic acid, for at least two months before trying for a baby, it's the time that takes for your body to be able to incorporate that into the embryo, doing it right before the pregnancy hasn't the same level of benefits, another thing you might consider is professional teeth cleaning, because pregnancy can cause changes the microbiome and sugar metabolism, which makes the body more prone to cavities. PS. Love your sunset fuchsia flowers, they look incredible❤ ❤

[@alisonsneed3707]

I’m so glad to have warning before you’re ‘suddenly’ pregnant. I hope you’ll still do fun things unrelated to childbearing once that time comes. It might be time for me to drift away when you enter that stage of life. Sort of like real life when people couple up then have children, we happily single women are no longer energetically compatible with them. You’re a joy to watch now.

I had endometriosis and had been told there would be no children . After homeopathy treatment I surprised every medical specialist and fell pregnant. This was 26 years ago ❤ I wish wild nutrition had been around then and it had been widely spoken about . Lovely vlog as normal

[@katiethriveshine]

Yes! This is wonderful. Homeopathy and herbal medicine, as well as nutrition can work wonders for supporting fertility naturally! Through my holistic health and herbalist practice I’ve seen many lovely clients naturally conceive, even after being diagnosed as clinically infertile. Even my sister with PCOS used my herbal recommendations and lifestyle changes and her baby boy turns 2 next month!

[@danishpastry6137]

I also think that talking to a psychologist can help, as being unwillingly child-less is extremely hard mentally - there are studies that show that couples about to start ivf can really benefit, it increases the chances of ivf being successful, and there were a significant number got pregnant without the help of ivf. I also personally know three couples who needed ivf first time around, and the second pregnancy was unplanned, and I'm convinced that it was to do with them being in a better state of mind!

[@katiethriveshine]

@@danishpastry6137 hypnosis is also wonderful for that. Therapy is wonderful but hypnosis goes right into the subconscious mind and programs it from there. It’s definitely a pursuit of mind body and spirit.

[@trudiegordon6327]

Great opener. Garden is glorious. I was married and my husband 10 years older and I wanted a family and he was not bothered so in quite a loveless marriage I was shocked to get pregnant easily twice. I used to joke that it was immaculate conception. I was nervous to have a second child after having pre-eclampsia and my daughter arriving 2 weeks early after being rushed into hospital with protein in my urine but my second came along and I decided no more babies. I had 3.5 years apart and that was perfect. What is meant to be is meant to be is my philosophy and I had no sickness just tiredness and luckily 2 healthy girls.

Drizzle. That is something that I get every year where I live in Southern CA. Although it is pleasant but there is something about hearing rain against the ground and against the window. I'd rather have rain but drizzle is so gentle for your garden. Enjoy it!

I live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon in the United States, we have drizzle, misting, sprinkle, showers and downpour. So many ways to describe rain. Our summers are quite dry though.

What a beautiful building! What an interior dream!

[@amyhodge2712]

Really bothers me when people ask! It’s personal and different for everyone. Love your videos - can tell you put so much effort into them! ♥️ xx

Our daughter had 5 or 6 miscarriages. It was a long and very hard time for her and husband. It took years to get the right doctor to help her be able have her 2 kids. She was not mentally healthy during that time. Her siblings were adding to their families durning her loses. Be careful how you talk to people💕

Honestly, I adore these rainy, drizzly day vlogs!! All I can think is "won't their garden look so amazing the next day!?" Here in the southern US, we've been baking all summer in a heatwave and drought, so I'll trade you the chilly drizzle for the suffocating heat when your plants die and you can't leave the house...?? Maybe? 😂

Josie I hope you and Charlie do have a family. I did IVF twice, and my husband were unable to get pregnant, but I hope to adopt. 💕💖💗

I completely agree that question can be so hurtful to many. We got married 10 years ago in November. We was always asked by someone about our plans for children. It was a knife to my heart every time. I have endometriosis and 1 ovary removed. We have been told we will never have children naturally and a very low chance conceiving with ivf. Unfortunately it’s no one’s fault and that’s the cards we have been dealt with. After nearly 18 years of trying for children it’s something I will never not wish for. However my expectations are realistic and that’s ok. We have finally come to terms with it all. We are starting our journey with adoption and giving a child our love. You are completely right the subject should be dealt with carefully. I also find there is not enough awareness or discussion for this in the uk. Exactly like you said my niece thought the same get married have children. I’ve taken the time to explain it in a way she can understand and it has really helped. I wish you all the best and luck in the journey to becoming parents ❤️❤️

Thanks for the lovely visit to RH. And thanks for the outro theme.

I’m a great believer in ‘meant to be ‘ Josie it will happen at the right time 💫🇵🇹🌞 much love from Portugal

I live in the US in Pennsylvania, and we have drizzle. Some people refer to it as mist. However, there is a difference between the two of them. As for the topic of having a baby, I am like you. There are some topics that are private and personal. I don't ask about religion, politics, marriage, and I don't ask about babies unless it is brought up by them. And yes, even if you avoid these topics, there are still plenty of things to talk about.

[@IsobelCeline]

It was lovely to hear about your thoughts on the baby journey. I really can't stop thinking about the Milton trick... Does this really work?...my baby is nearly 3, but I still love using these tablets to generally deep clean x

[@juliecahill7550]

That flowers you got for your mother in law is beautiful. 😊

Gosh - you Lydia and Amelia flogging the LilySilk stuff, especially the cashmere joggers!

[@fionamargaret6687]

Hehe drizzle. Here in Australia and Melbourne where I am, drizzle is definitely a thing. Melb is sooo temperamental the constant joke is 4 seasons in one day.

[@JulesMAu]

So true. How cold was it this morning? 5 degrees when I left for work 🥶 Brrrr.

[@christinepaley6149]

We have drizzle in Canada at many times of year, but sometimes we will say that at least it isn't snow!

[@dionnevoller2903]

I think asking couples when they are having children is a real “no no” - as you say - you have no idea if people want to it even are able to - I couldn’t have children - and the times (many years ago now) people would ask me - was awful !!!! I wish you and Charlie all the luck in the world when you decide to start ‘trying’ - having additional health issues isn’t going to make it easy - but I’m sure it will happen when your ready.

[@jessicamalfa9538]

So good Josie, to get healthy and when your time is right something very special will happen. 🧚‍♀🎠🧸I will quietly wait for you to share. xx♥

[@cherylparkinson6136]

My daughter & her husband had ivf aged 26 & had a baby girl . Fast forward 8 years & she fell pregnant 🤰 naturally totally unplanned & unexpected, twin boys , such a blessing ❤❤

[@danishpastry6137]

I know of three couples this happened to, I think the stress of not conceiving contributes, and once a child does arrive with the help of ivf the stress is reduced (that and the fact that couples who needed ivf first time around are less likely to use contraception).

[@cherylparkinson6136]

@@danishpastry6137 Yes 👍

[@annmariefiske8750]

Hyper nourish...green smoothies...big vitamix...75%kale, 2 tbsns cold pressed flax oil, 10 oz frozen mango, frozen banana. Used in the regular will help. ❤

Northern IL/Southern WI USA get drizzily days. Your wedding was my favorite wedding of all time! You and Charlie have great style.
