- Hello, lovely people.
- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Jessica.
And welcome to my channel
and this is my gorgeous wife, Claudia.
- and we're expecting a baby.
- We are, and really not very long.
In fact, as this video goes out,
I think it will be three weeks until the baby arrives.
Oh my gosh.
That's a little bit scary.
- Yeah, it's really quite terrifying
now that I said it out loud.
- We haven't even put together the like,
the side crib in our bedroom.
- Okay and here are sitting here making a video. Jesus.
- We haven't installed the car seat
- Oh my God.
No, the Isofix thing
which to be honest might take us three weeks.
- Very confusing
- That's why you fix it and then you leave it there.
- Mhm, yeah.
We're never moving that.
- People have continued to be surprised
when they find out we're having a baby
that I'm not the one carrying.
- Well until they see me.
And I'm clearly pregnant.
- No, I mean that they're surprised
I'm not the one who is pregnant.
- Obviously they know you're pregnant,
- Alright, yeah.
- got a watermelon strapped to your front.
- I mean
I'm going to do a bump update.
But it's literally just like,
- This entire video is
about your
massive belly.
This video is sponsored by Surfshark,
because babies are expensive.
So people most often expect me to be the one carrying
because I'm the
girly one
- Yeah, but she's really weird.
- in the couple.
which is really odd because your level of perceived
girliness
or not,
it doesn't actually say anything
about your ability to carry children.
- No.
- That's why now I think in a lot of maternity wards,
they say pregnant person,
- Indeed
- not pregnant woman.
- Indeed it does
Sadly though. It doesn't, it's not quite reflected
in what's out though, when it comes to maternity fashion,
there are still some,
some shockingly floaty pink dresses out there.
God has had to look quite hard to find things
that she deems acceptable.
- Even as a pregnant person
who's been living like this for eight months.
If you mention a pregnant woman,
I imagine someone in a polka dot floaty dress.
- Oh
- I feel like I should be living that.
- Oh
- It just doesn't feel like me.
- I can't imagine you.
I've got like imposter syndrome as a pregnant person.
Like I'm not living the pregnancy
- The floaty dress dream.
- Yeah
The like, image.
- So, if you too are not a particularly girly person,
but you're also pregnant or you're thinking of becoming so
or, you're into maternity fashion for some other reason.
- Or maybe you're considering whether to be pregnant or not
because you can't bring yourself to buy a polka dot dress.
Now you don't need to, if you want a baby,
you just have that baby, wear what you want.
- Exactly
This video is for you.
So please enjoy six of excellent fashion choices
put together by Claudia.
- Yes.
And I'm gonna link in the description where you can get
some of the items.
Um,
Some of them we couldn't find,
they are just
granddad jumpers that she's had knocking around.
- (Claudia) I've actually had this shirt from
Malaysia
2018
pre-pregnancy.
Actually, even before that maybe.
it's a boyfriend cut shirt,
which I highly recommend for maternity clothing.
- (Jessica) I love that
you could still do that with your shirt.
You just have so many men's shirts.
You can still do them all.
These jeans however, are maternity jeans
they are from Jojo Maman Bebe
- (Claudia) Yeah. They're really comfortable. Actually.
A lot of the over the bump jeans can get quite tight around
this late stage of pregnancy.
But I found these ones are very nice.
I didn't realize you were filming this in slow mo.
(Jessica laughs)
- (Jessica) I didn't realize either.
- (Claudia) It's like, the wind looks very epic in my,
with my shirt.
- (Jessica) Damn.
Look how good you look.
Oh again, this is actually your t-shirt
from not pregnancy as well.
- (Claudia) Spandex.
That's the, that's the,
that's the answer to,
a growing bump.
Make sure your clothing has spandex in it.
So these shoes are a little bit more girly
than I'd normally go for with the lace finish.
But I actually chose them because
they're really easy to slip on
bending over when you're pregnant,
trying to get around your bump is a bit of a problem.
So these are nice go to's
and the sole of which are memory foam.
- (Jessica) Ooo.
- (Claudia) Ooo Yeah,
so good for that flat footed, heavy pregnancy foot
- (Jessica) Ooo. Nice with the little thing in your hair.
- (Claudia) Thanks.
Yeah, it's become my like make it a bit more dressy look.
That is definitely filmed in slow mo, my love.
I must say it was a nice breezy day
to capture all these like closeup slow mos, my love.
With the shirt blowing in the wind.
So this is the jacket I was talking about
It's actually a men's extra small jacket from Superdry,
that Jessie bought me for Christmas
and I don't think it looks that weird,
that I clearly can't do it up.
It looks intentional.
- (Jessica) You look amazing. This is Parisian aviator chic.
- (Claudia) Oh, wow.
- (Jessica) Sexy sunglass putting on there.
- (Claudia) Obligatory, obviously. For any look book.
So this stripey
sort of Navy blue and white shirt
is from Jojo Maman Bebe.
- (Jessica) Jojo Maman Bebe.
(Claudia laughs)
- (Claudia) They do say horizontal lines
make a person look wider but,
I think at this point in my life,
it's all about showing off the bump.
These are a pair of skinnier jeans,
again, over the bump.
They're a little bit tighter.
They were really good at the beginning of pregnancy
but not so comfortable to wear throughout like a whole day
in this late end of pregnancy. - (Jessica) No, I've had to
drag them off you a couple of times.
- (Claudia) They're from Topshop and I do recommend them.
My go to shoes are a pair of converse.
I can still wear them even though they're usually made for
a sort of a narrower footage person.
My feet haven't become so flat and wide
that I can't get them on... yet
- (Jessica) Oh yeah.
Sexy, slow mo hair flip.
- (Claudia) I never actually ever carry my jacket like this,
but you know,
I think when you feel like you're doing a fashion shoot,
it's just like the go-to.
- (Jessica) What a amazing face as well.
- (Claudia) Oh, thank you, darling.
- (Jessica) Oh, you're so welcome
- (Claudia) Oh and there's my best friend staring intently
or whatever it is we're both looking at.
- (Jessica) I am very excited for this look
because this t-shirt is
basically the exact same as another t-shirt
that Claudia has
That's non maternity that I think she looks amazing in
and there she is holding the shovel.
- (Claudia) And you might think,
ah, she's just using that as a prop.
But kid me not.
I have been digging holes with that shovel even bigger than
I am in this look, book.
- (Jessica) Five weeks to go now
until this baby comes out and she's
still digging holes in the garden.
- (Claudia) What is Walter eating in the background?
- (Jessica) I don't want to know
A plant we probably just put in.
Rotty dog.
Oh,
there we are.
My girls.
- (Claudia) This is not an advert for new horizon compost,
(Jessica laughs)
which is, I should add,
a peat free compost
because everyone should use peat free-
- (Jessica) Only use peat free in your garden.
Whoa, that's a good thick waistband.
Ooh, yeah
- (Claudia) I find these ones particularly comfortable.
They're really good at staying up and they've got pockets.
The joggers are from H&M.
I got them in this sort of Chino color.
And I think I really love them.
- (Jessica) You also have them in gray.
- (Claudia) I do.
- (Jessica) You're wearing them right now.
- (Claudia) I am.
Bobs
- Which are from Sketchers, memory foam soles.
Very comfortable.
Don't have to have assistance to put your shoes on.
Which is great when you need to leave the house in a hurry
- (Jessica) Oh, pregnant people.
If you haven't invested in a shoe horn yet
now is the time.
- (Claudia) Yes. Do it
We got ours from Ikea.
- (Jessica ) And Lena and Clara gave us the tip
before pregnancy and we've never looked back.
- (Claudia) If the t-shirt doesn't feel quite
tomboyish enough for you,
roll up the sleeves.
Add that classic tomboy look obviously.
- (Jessica) Whoa, you are very attractive.
- (Claudia) Well, thank you, Darling.
It sounded really genuine.
The only problem with this t-shirt and the wind
is you can really see everything underneath it.
- (Jessica) I can really see your belly button
- (Claudia) I think this one was a new look.
- (Jessica) Oh, it's very thin.
- (Claudia) It's very thin,
but on a hot summer's day it's exactly what you need.
- And now for the advert,

I mean,
we should probably start with worrying about
identifying sharp objects on furniture and
whether all of our plants are safe.
If not recommended to consume before
we need to worry about whether our kid

- (Jessica) This is one of my favorite looks of yours.
This is generally what I wear non-pregnant,
well I am wearing a pair of maternity jeans.
- (Jessica) Are you?
- (Claudia) Yeah, of course.
I can't go and put normal jeans on.
Yeah, no, they're another lovely pair from Jojo Maman Bebe
and walking boots, might I add,
probably one of the most comfortable shoes you can add
you can wear whilst pregnant.
I mean, they might not be your go-to style,
but, I think they work in this particular look.
- (Jessica) But this is perfect
for people who don't want to change their style
when they become pregnant.
- (Claudia) That was my worry.
But I would definitely say that get a good pair of,
or a few good pairs of,
comfortable over the bump or under the bump,
whatever your preference is, maternity jeans and trousers.
And then just add your normal shirts
or get some larger oversized shirts.
And like a gilet or a jacket,
something you don't have to zip up,
but something that's still very much you.
This is the one that I bought myself
and ever since buying it,
Jessica has not taken it off.
- (Jessica) Ooh, this is a good look.
- (Claudia) So here I am wearing my black cons
Because you know, like I said,
you only need a white pair and a black pair,
and you're bloody pretty much sorted for every outfit.
And every situation,
like if I go to a slightly smarter event,
I wear my black cons.
If it's like a kind of daytime event,
I'll wear my white cons.
It's very easy.
You don't get too much decision fatigue,
you know.
- (Jessica) Can we just say that you are looking excellent
in these delightful dungarees from Jojo Maman Bebe.
- (Claudia) This is a maternity vest top
- (Jessica) Mmh
- (Claudia) And I think from H&M,
you must have spandex in it to really make it comfortable
and grow with your growing bump.
- (Jessica) Oh, your hair looks nice.
(indistinct)
- (Claudia) Thanks. I've got to redo my hair.
I've got an appointment, but just before the baby's due,
because I've been told once the baby's here,
I won't be able to do things like self care,
like wash my own hair
or go get it cut.
- (Jessica) I'll wash your hair for you
- (Claudia) Oh, thanks darling.
- (Jessica) You're welcome
- (Claudia) Who's gonna look after the baby
whilst you're washing my hair?
- (Jessica) Can't it just be in the bathroom with us?
- (Claudia) I don't know
- (Jessica) Someone answer below.
Can a baby just be in a bathroom?
- (Claudia) We can put it in the bathtub, yeah?
Can't escape
- (Jessica) Oh, I can see your belly.
- (Claudia) Yeah. This is actually a maternity vest top.
It's a bit weird
cause it just kind of hangs
in this weird like triangular ski slope sort of way.
- (Jessica) Yeah,
it's not doing a great job of covering your stomach
- (Claudia) I know but some people may be
like that look but,
I felt like I had to constantly pull up my trousers.
It wasn't really my thing.
That's why I think I felt like the need to do a silly dance.
Denim shirt is something I've always had. Again,
It's just something I've thrown over the top,
talking about, you know,
not having to rush out and get a new wardrobe.
These trousers are actually my sister's,
So I got them second hand.
So that's another good way of getting maternity clothes
without spending money.
If you've got friends or family
who have been pregnant before,
Just ask if you could maybe borrow some of their old
maternity clothes.
- (Jessica) Yeah.
- (Claudia) Wow, close up of my headband
- (Jessica) and your glasses
- (Claudia) because did you know,
headbands have to come in maternity size?
- (Jessica) Hey, accessories are important.
And here again, we see the white cons.
- (Claudia) Mhm.
At the end of the day,
when you're only wearing two pairs of shoes,
you know,
it's 50, 50 on whether it's going to work.
- There you go. Claudia looking absolutely stunning
in six, very different looks
- I would like to just add,
if you normally come to this channel
expecting to see very professionally modeled clothing,
you know,
- And actually good camera work
- Well done for making it through to this far.
- I am so sorry about my shaky camera skills.
I'm not as good as Claudia
- Yeah, and I'm sorry about my weird positioning with my leg
my arms.
I will never know what to do with my limbs
when someone's taking photos of me,
I'm like,
Jessica's like be natural.
I'm like, Oh God.
- I've tried to explaining to her
that the most important thing is just to look confident
just to believe that you look amazing.
- I was just working the bump, you know,
- Yeah you were.
looking stunning
My God, You were so sexy.
- Oh, thanks
- Your granddad fashion sense. It just does it for me
- It's the fleece gilet that you're particularly into
- It really is
Don't ask me why it is my niche.
- I'm letting my gilet love come out in full swing.
- We got really into gardening
Recently.
And there's just something about you
in your little hiking boots and your fleece gilet.
- I think it's like it is the garden is like uniform.
- Yeah.
- A fleece gilet,
could have your arms out, mobile, flexible.
Anyway.
- Lord help us.
- And It just sums up. I'm very practical in what I wear.
Unlike Jessica,
who decided that she's going to garden in
She was gardening the other day in a pink petticoat.
I should have gone out and taken a picture of you
you were so funny, just digging a hole
and all I could see was just like
layers and layers of pink
petticoat.
- (indistinct)
This is genuinely,
someone asked me this because I did a video where I was
like, I dress like a princess for a week.
And people in the comments were like,
don't you, every week?
I was like, I mean, yes, but not floor length.
That's why it's special
because yes, this is what I generally wear to garden
It's normal though. This is a day dress.
- Now just shove on a gilet and you're ready to go
- Exactly

the biggest change in our lives

it's going to be awful,
- Yeah.

I don't know why people do that.
- Yeah, we're calm, chill people.
So our baby will be calm and chill.
- Very calm,
baby will be calm.
Everything's going to be alright
Thank you so much for watching.
- (Jessica) Today's question from the
Kellgren-Fozard club member comes from LoGo.
She says, Jessica,
how do you work out how many days of the month there are?
This is because I have a weird little trick
that I do sometimes that I use my knuckles
to count out the months.
You start with January being on top of the knuckle,
Then February, in between a knuckle
and then March on top of a knuckle.
And you go like that.
And every month that is on top of an knuckle
is a month that has 31 days
and every month that is in an knuckle
does not have 31 days.
My goodness that's helped me so much through my life.
