  • Hi Myleene!!



    As a full-time working mum of two (beautiful) little girls, I sometimes feel guilty about leaving them to go to work - do you ever feel the same, and if so, do you have any tips on dealing with this??



    Thanks image
  • Hi Myleene,

    I love your BabyK clothing range, i bought lots of very cute outfits for my little boy when he was a baby. Now he is 2 yrs old I can never find any older sizes in my local Mothercare, what age range does the collection go up to?



    Thanks

  • Hi Myleene,



    I heard you on Classic FM the week after you announced the birth of your baby. Did you really go back to work that quickly? I heard that Victoria Beckham isn't planning to take maternity leave on the news this morning. Is it harder to take time off to spend with your baby when you are in the public eye? I had 8 months off with my baby, and have no idea how I would have managed going back to work so quickly.



    All the very best, I'm a huge fan!
  • Hi Myleene!



    I'm expecting my first baby in August and I'm really terrified about the thought of giving birth! Did you have any pre-birth fears and if so how did you overcome them?



  • Hi Myleene



    You looked great on Popstar to Operastar last week.

    How have you managed to get back into shape so soon since giving birth? Do you have a strict exercise programme or is it is gene thing!?



    thanks, K
  • My hubbie is not very hands-on with our two children. Is Gray helpful with your little girls? And do you have any tips that I can use on my husband? image
  • Hi Myleene!



    Congratulations on Ava and baby Hero - they sound like gorgeous girls.



    I am mum to an 11-month-old daughter (my first baby) and am planning to go back to work in September - but already feel worried about where my little girl will feel happiest while I'm at work. Does Ava go to a nursery or have a nanny when you work?

    PS. I read your book while I was pregnant and loved it - thank you!
  • Your skin always looks great Myleene! What's your secret? Do you have any fav beauty products? image x
  • Hi Myleene,



    I'm having my first baby in November,

    what one piece of advice could you not have lived without once you had a chance to reflect on becoming a mum?

  • Hello everybody thank you for joining us for a chat on this rainy day. Ask me anything I'm in a candid kind of mood as always...
  • Hi HappykatieUk, you don't sound so happy please beating yourself up, all of us feel guilt for every reason under the sun, working too hard, not working hard enough... The main thing is your family are happy and healthy, you're doing an amazing thing providing for them as well as showing your girls they can be independent women too. Don't listen to anyone else's advice you know what is best for your family.
  • Hi Mummy_from_ealing Thank you so much for supporting BabyK, I like your style! The range, due to popular demand now goes up to 5 years old, and if you can't get it in Mothercare stores, go to babykworld.com. Would you believe, I often have trouble getting my hands on some of the more popular items too. But that is not a bad thing! Pls send me some piccie! @klassMyleene
  • Hello Anouks_mummy. Thank you for being so kind, believe me, how you look and how you feel can often be miles apart, as any new mum will tell you. I'm still spinning with tiredness from the night feeds. I don't have an exercise routine at the moment, namely because I'm allergic to the gym. I have decided not to be so hard on myself and just enjoy my babies and my chocolate buttons!
  • Hi Mylenne



    What's the one baby product you can't live without?

  • Hi FifiLim. Lucky you! I must say Gray is very hands-on and also very funny in his execution, whenever it's his turn to look after the baby he lays everything out in very specific piles as if he's going to war! My way of doing things is a little more 'organic', and, according to him, chaotic! My advice would be to keep on encouraging your husband as everyone likes to know they're doing a good job, and when it comes to babies a lot of it is down to confidence, as let's be honest, do any of us really know what we're doing?!
  • Hi there!



    I read that you went back to work really soon after the birth of Hero. That must have been so hard! I had 8 months off with my baby. I can't imagine how hard it is to go back to work so soon. Even Victoria B was saying she isn't planning to take any maternity leave with baby No 4 because she is too busy working. How do you cope?



    ps. I am a huge fan!
  • Hi Myleene,



    I'm expecting my first baby in August and I'm terrified by the thought of giving birth. Did you have any pre-birth fears and if so how did you overcome them?



  • Hello MandaB1. Poor you! It's a very, very difficult thing to do and no-one can look after your baby as well as you, which makes it even harder when it comes to the 'handover'. Ava is at nursery three times a week, and loves it, but does come to work with me on the other days, and Hero is sitting here checking my spelling right now. The bottom line is you have to choose what you think is right for your family. Because I don't have a desk job, or anything regular, my family can afford to be slightly nomadic. Just try out a few options and your family will be the first to tell you if it's not working.
  • Hi Summeruk5. Some of it is genes, and some of it is Decleor, Carita suncream, and Eight Hour Cream. I would like to add sleep into the mix, but I don't think I'm ever going to sleep a full night ever again!
