Top Mummy YouTubers & Why You Should Watch Them! - 2020
There is no denying it, there is some weird stuff on YouTube.
Besides the usual cat videos, over the last few years the world has been taken by storm by children watching other children open and play with toys, the latest dance crazes and tweenagers falling in love with YouTubers just like we did with pop stars.
If you think Youtube is just for either children or learning how to chop a pineapple though, you are very wrong!
Mum (and dad!) vloggers are taking to YouTube in force, sharing the ups and downs of pregnancy, children and family life.
After a Youtuber baby boom back in 2017/2018, things have slowed down a little but there are a few new little ones on the scene and we’re enjoying watching some of the previous babies grow up and hearing about their family life.
Here are a few of my top Youtubers who are currently pregnant, have babies or have young children.
Currently Pregnant
Melanie is 30 years old and lives in Ireland.
After her dream wedding had to be postponed due to COVID19 they had a small intimate ceremony and then announced that after worries she may struggle to conceive, she was actually pregnant!
Her channel is currently packed full of her pregnancy journey as well as open and honest conversations about sex, relationships and life in general.
This is a new channel to me and I can’t remember how I found her (Channel Mum possibly) but as she is currently pregnant I thought I’d add her to the list for you guys to check out.
With a Baby Under 2 Years
I was so excited when Lily announced she was pregnant back in November 2018. Her little girl Grey has just turned 1 and Lilly’s youtube channel is full of parenting content as well as videos about beauty, style and lifestyle.
With Children over 2 Years
Sarah works full time while balancing life with her daughter Isla and son Lochlan.
What makes this channel even more special is that her husband is in the Royal Navy and she makes the videos so that he can stay up to date while he is away. The vlogs where they have to say goodbye for long periods of time are just heartbreaking!
She was really very open about everything during and after her last pregnancy so I would definitely suggest going back through the archives and watching her videos.
Mrs Meldrum is a mum of three, up in Scotland who shares her life with us via vlogs, hauls, home life and more. Her husband works off shore for weeks at a time to she shares the ups and downs of lone parenting and the joy whenever he is home.
She did weekly updates throughout her last pregnancy, which are definitely worth a watch if you’re pregnant right now or you can just enjoy her current family antics.
SJ is a new Youtuber to me but she comes highly recommended by some of the other ladies I’ve mentioned.
Living with her Swedish husband and three children in Surrey she vlogs about motherhood and also has an ongoing series with Channel mum on baby names.
Katie is a down to earth, normal mum who kills her plants (by mistake I should add…) and gets excited about bathroom tiles and diet coke.
She has three children and loves to go on holiday so I live vicariously through her beautiful travel vlogs.
Louise is mum to Darcy (9) and Pearl (2) and makes videos about motherhood and life in general.
She’s one of more well known Youtubers out there with books and clothing collections but in my opinion she’s stayed very down to earth and a joy to watch.
If none of those channels float your boat, DON'T GIVE UP YET!
There are so many YouTubers going through every walk of life out there that there WILL be someone that you can relate to. I guarantee it.
A good place to start to find out more is the Channel Mum Youtube Channel. This channel is made up of a selection of mum-tubers all with advice, stories, regrets - everything mum related.
Another great thing about Channel Mum is that it can be the perfect gateway to finding a YouTuber that YOU connect with and you can continue to follow their journey as their little ones grow up.
I really hope that this blog has helped you see the love, support and information you can get through simply watching and following someone's experiences on youtube. Who knows, maybe it's even inspired you to start your own channel so that you can share your experiences with other people.
