4 WEEKS PREGNANT - SURPRISE PREGNANCY, THIRD BABY & EARLY PREGNANCY SYMPTOMS

Hi everyone! So, I didn't think I'd be making a video like this for a very long time. But it just goes to show that sometimes everything doesn't go to plan. This is my 4 weeks pregnant pregnancy update, with baby number three. I filmed this on 4th July 2017 when I had just found out. Can you believe it!? I'm having a baby!? I hope you'll stick around and follow me on this journey. I'm excited and nervous and I can't wait to meet him or her already. xx

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 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.

Hi everyone! Because I am an absolute bum hair, I messed the scheduling up! So the 'how I found out' video will be up next! It's baby brain I swear! xx

[UktiJuma]

It's so lovely how you are dealing with this news and how much appreciation and gratefulness you are showing for being blessed with a baby, even though it is a shock. All the best with the pregnancy. Can't wait until you share the news with your children!

[emmathomson]

I watched all your previous pregnancy videos (and still watch channel mum once a week) when I found out I was pregnant. I'm now 23 weeks and love that you'll be going through this with me, and other mums-to-be, live! I can imagine the shock but you guys are a strong little unit and you'll get through whatever the next 9 months bring! We'll all be here with you as well! 😘

[SirAxolotlTheWise]

My third pregnancy was planned but I still felt a lot of anxiety. I was happy to be pregnant but worried how I can manage three little ones... Now my baby is nearly one and I am thinking maybe one more :-) All the best to you! I hope your pregnancy goes well and the baby is one happy healthy bundle of joy! Xx

Good for you Charlotte for being so honest and open, I'm sure after the shock settles you will feel much happier about this pregnancy.💙

Congratulations Charlotte! I completely understand that shock feeling! It's ok to feel shocked. My baby boy (whose 6 months now! How time flies!) was a surprise! I felt completely blessed that had got pregnant, but the shock of it all did last a while. It took a lot to get excited in the beginning. After feeling lots of guilt at the beginning because of this but now realise that not being excited straight away and being a bit shocked is ok. We are all in different situations and it doesn't take away the fact that we still know our baby is a gift. You feel the two things at the same time.
Everything happens for a reason.
It's time for you to be a mummy again to another beautiful baby and it's all going to be fine xxx lots of well wishes to you all xxx

Hi. congratulations.
My third pregnancy was a surprise. It took me until 14 weeks before I told anybody other than my husband. I was very scared and in all honestly wasn't sure I wanted to go through with it. I suffered with prenatal depression/anxiety with my second and was terrified that would happen again. It did get better as the weeks went on and now he's an amazing little 16 month old and he really was the best surprise. Hope you can enjoy the journey xxxx

Hey Charlotte! I'm also pregnant with my first baby and due on 3rd Feb 2018! Our baby came as a surprise but none the less we will love it with all our heart when baby arrives just as much as I love the baby now :). I'm so excited and very happy for you ... I wish you all the best in you're pregnancy and to all the other mums to be out there :) x

[flipper]

I really appreciate how honest you have been in this video. It's so refreshing to see on YouTube! Congratulations x

[katiebird]

Aww such a lovely honest video! I kind of get where you are at though. Don't feel bad for feeling anxious/shocked! I am turning 29 weeks tomorrow Hun and I just wanted to tell you about my situation in the hope you feel a bit better. We have had a genetic problem and lost a little girl at 23 weeks pregnant to patau syndrome I then was blessed with a planned pregnancy which was my son who is now six. We then tried and tried and tried and unfortunately had 4 very early miscarriages! After the fourth I decided to put a hold on operation baby as I wanted some time to heal. I lost a lot of weight and started to enjoy being me again and then bam in march one huge surprise bfp! I was floored yes like you I had always planned to have another just not yet! The first trimester was a world wind of worry joy panic excitement and fear that this baby might be ill. Yes you are blessed to be pregnant and yes you want this baby but you are human and we all worry especially when your path with daisy was so up and down. The good news is the shock will subside and you will be excited and when you have that little bundle here none of the initial fear you felt will matter at all! So be kind to yourself get through it the way that works best for you and remember your not alone there are many women going through the same you are so brave opening yourself up to YouTube and you are a strong woman with a big heart and not only are you blessed but so is your baby. Take care hunny xxx

I was pregnant with my little boy the same time as you were with Daisy (he was born May 2016) and now I'm due with number 2 February 28th.

I'm excited to follow your journey again and can totally relate to your shock and the emotions you'd be experiencing with the baby being a surprise (my first was a complete surprise!).

Can't wait for your updates x

[lahadaway]

Congratulations! I am 30 weeks pregnant tomorrow with our first. Every week I watch your pregnancy update on Channel Mum and it has really helped me through!
I hope everything goes well for you and baby! X

[featherandbow]

Congratulations Charlotte and family! I know it is a shock, but you are an incredible mum! I'm currently 28 wks pregnant with my first. I've really been enjoying watching your videos. Looking forward to following your journey xx

[DearBeautiful]

Awww, all those surprised feelings you describe are taking me right back... it's weird to feel like your body has some how done something that you didn't plan or agree to. I'm so thrilled for you and Mark, and the kids. It's so so lovely. x

[MissNatalie]

My fiancé and I are currently trying. If anything your videos are such a comfort. I love them. We discovered you recently on channel mum. You're lovely and congratulations 💐

[meagnplunkett]

Absolutely delighted for you Charlotte, you are an amazing inspiration. I found out I am 4weeks +2 pregnant yesterday and both my self and my partner are in absolute shock. We were planning to try next year, but somehow it's happened now. We are happy though and feeling blessed. It will be lovely to follow a journey with you xxx

[tjx]

You found out the day before I did. And I'm due on the 11th March. Crazy. Will definitely be following your journey to help me out since its first baby! Congratulations to you and your family x

[zarahoddle]

Congratulations! I totally get all of your worries and anxiety around finding out...my little boy shares the same birthday as Daisy I think and I'd feel the same BUT how exciting for you!! Sometimes things don't 'go to plan' but this little gift has been sent and you'll be an amazing mum to three... try and go with the flow and trust that this is meant to be! Xx

[allaboutlove]

This is all so lovely, ...I still can't believe I was right (I had such strong feelings) 😃😃😃 I'm beyond excited for all of
Love💛 & Blessings⛪

[lifewithanegg]

Bless you Charlotte, I get everything you are saying, you are both brave and wonderful for being so honest. Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy xxx
