I haven't got the impression from the thread that people think life ends after motherhood at all. Her mum is super successful and had Jess young. I think it's more that people think she will not do anything besides being a halfhearted influencer now - not because of the baby just because she's pretty lazy.

But she might be happy with what she's doing, and not feel like she's missing out on a career. And she is super privileged so doesn't have to worry about it like most do. Has she ever mentioned any career goals or things she wants to do in the future?
Jess always acts like she is super motivated I think, and a total perfectionist. And I do get the argument that her perfectionism in some ways contributes to her lack of output, but only to a point. She has only spoken about future career plans in a vague way like “I want to do this but also this and this etc”. I feel that was what I was like going my final year secondary school exams but by the end of uni you have more of an idea. And also for most of us (myself included) after you finish your studies you just have to get a job or go and do another course. Which is good as you will never be 100% sure what exact job you will suit, even if you know which field, unless you go and do it.

Life doesn’t end after motherhood of course but it does fundamentally and irrevocably change it, especially insofar as your priorities change and you will never again be the centre of your own universe. Of course, that can be a beautiful thing to care so much for something else, but it’s also something that shouldn‘t be taken lightly and you shouldn’t just assume youre going to be able to carry on as you were before. And it is women especially who give up a lot, both mentally and physically. Your youth goes quickly and your 20s ARE a part of that youth, with the ability to grow as an individual that have nothing to do with “Tinder” or whatever, I think it’s important that if you get the chance to make the choice, you are realizing what you’re doing.

I think it’s a disservice to women to pretend as though motherhood can just be a cool hobby to pick up in your 20s. If a young woman chooses to do it, more power to her, but at the same time I would hope it is done with full awareness of not just the joys she will enter into, but truly the deep sacrifice she is about to make. It doesn’t mean it’s “bad”, not at all, but I think any adult can recognize that it is the end of something you won’t get back— career aspirations or not. And that’s life, but we can also be honest about it.

Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but did Jess ever give any further updates on the house she bought/did they ever move in?

I believe they are still renovating. I think she mentioned it in her pregnancy announcement vid. She said they are going to stay with her mum for a little bit after the baby is born.

Thanks, I moved into a place that needed some work a month ago and people were on me every 2 days since Nov with 'when are you gonna move in, what are you doing' despite having a day job and doing alot of the painting/odd jobs myself :D. It's the pandemic, but with her kind of budget you can be sure builders are still working - although understandably these things take time.

They seem to really mull over decision too and if she has got her mum’s taste I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait too

They don't seem to be in a rush at all - it took her nearly a year to choose a dining room table 😂 she talked that to death.

I guess with the pandemic/her mum's illness/her pregnancy it was easier to not rush it.

Wow this vlog shows just how rich Jess and her family are 😳 I think she’s quite humble about her wealth but she recognises that she’s privileged. The bit that got me in the new vlog was Zack on a quad bike to go see some cows 🤣
I actually really like Jess, she makes me feel quite calm ha!
I agree with what everyone has said about her mum’s get interior decorating style!

This may not be a super popular opinion here - but it makes me kinda sad to see so many women still seeing getting pregnant as the end of your life and career and goals and dreams. Did your mothers lives end when you were born? Was it all over for them?

While I never saw her as particularly maternal Jess is closer to 30 than she is 20.

Not everyone wants to have a baby in their late 30s. While it seemed a bit surprising at first the more I think about it the more it makes sense for her. She’s in a much better position than most to have a child, and she has always been family Oriented. She’s traveled extensively and she has a very impressive education. She is clearly well off and no fool. I think she’s in a pretty good place to have a baby.

not everyone wants to spend their 20s nursing hangovers and getting ghosted by losers on tinder (lol)

imo this isn’t the end of anything for Jess, I think she will just fine.
I don't think anyone was implying that Jess having a child would be signalling the end of her life/dreams? But it's undoubtable that having a child does completely change your life and your priorities. Your life is not your own anymore and it never will be. You will always have someone else to think about which will govern every decision you make from then on, it's a huge responsibility.

She's definitely in a much better position than many to be able to raise a child, and if that's what she wants to do and is what will make her happy then that's wonderful.

Regardless of age, everyone does life at their own pace. But looking at things from an alternate perspective, Jess' decision to have a baby in her mid twenties might be considered confusing to some because they couldn't possibly imagine being ready to do that yet, despite being a similar age. And that's okay.

Regarding spending your twenties being hungover and on tinder, so what if that's what someone chooses to do? No one should get to act holier than thou just because they chose to become a mother

I can’t wait to see what their house will look like, especially if her mum plays a role in the interior design (which I hope she does! Jess seems to have very similar tastes). The library barn tour... my mouth was agape! The see through raised platform for the seating area was just GORGEOUS and I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Plus the snippets we have seen of their London home just looks stunning. So modern but very classy different but still feels homely. I selfishly wish Jess would do more house/farm tours, I don’t even care that her family probably have more wealth than I will ever have in my lifetime! Sometimes I feel like I live vicariously through her vlogs to imagine what it must be like to just live with no barriers. I know this is tattle and is more for gossiping but I just have to share that ahaha

I do genuinely wonder whether she has some other kind of part time work behind the scenes, like not just youtube, possibly in social media? Otherwise, I can not imagine what she fills her days with otherwise apart from reading. She's always been quite private and a lot of her vlogs do seem to be large sections of her talking to the camera rather than actually doing stuff so she can't be showing us her whole day? It would also maybe explain her income (apart from the ridiculous amounts influencers get paid for posting a picture plus her family's wealth). Idk I've personally struggled with depression and anxiety for years, in particular agoraphobia so her staying at home doing nothing does remind me of my lowest points which is a bit concerning. Obviously, this past year with her pregnancy and her mum's illness and lockdowns have probably prevented her from doing a lot though.

did she say if she was giving birth at a private hospital?
I don't think she did. She did mention going off the NHS packing lists but that could mean nothing of course.

Wouldn't it make sense for her to go private anyway? They have the money for it + would take the pressure off the NHS since it's so stretched atm

With the amount of money she either has or has access to...I think surely she Must have gone private. With the amount her mum looks after her financially I can't imagine during a pandemic her mum wouldn't encourage her to go private

Maybe given the location and she kept saying her birth plan (I don’t know if this is a new thing) I think they’re now going down the private route or surely she’d be back in London for where she’ll have been having midwife appointments
