Any other way to spell Isla?

We love the name Isla but I’m not a fan of silent letters and keep thinking people will call her Is-La by mistake 🙈 Iv played around with a couple of other ways but intrigued to see what other people come up with 💜

Ayla? but I also think don't worry about other people. Lots will know exactly how to say it right

Yes I think that’s more Aay-la like you say. Also do you think it’s frustrating for little ones when they learning their how to spell their name that there’s a silent letter in there? 🙈😅 I’m prob thinking too much into it 🤣

I know 2 Islas. One spelt
Isla and i just knew it was Isla, the other Ayla and for ages i though she was as its spelt and was saying it wrong

Isla is the third most popular girl name in the UK so people will definitely know how to pronounce it. It is a lovely name 😊

I'm a teacher- loads of Islas around nowadays. Older people might get it wrong occasionally but she'll have no problems at school

Isla is pretty common now, one of my closest friends has an Isla and never known it to be pronounced another way than IY-LA

Now I feel Iv chosen a name that’s too common 😂 dammit oh well I love it too much!

I prefer the spelling Islay after the island but it has a silent Y and if you live in England a lot of people might not get it. I think Isla is nicer than Ayla just looks like you’re trying to be different.
Ailsa is pronounced ‘ail-sa’ not Islay, totally different name 😂

Could be really different and go literal to how it sounds Eye-La

Fried rice noodles 🍜

The first craving my Asian ancestors in my body is asking for during my first trimester.😎
I went from no appetite to have three bowls of them straight 😂
I feel pretty healthy too as I added in lots of bean sprouts, carrots cabbage, onion and broccoli for veggies; eggs, tofu and beef meatballs for protein.
Ahhh I am just so happy 😀

Elective C-section

Guys I'm 13 weeks but I'm already extremely terrified of birth and specially tearing and injuries down there. I'm thinking I'd rather suffer the pain from the c section than going through natural labour. I like the thought of everything being planned and I'd know what's going on. Any of you in a similar situation?

Early labour

So it has been a bit of joke with my husband that I won't realise when I'm in the early stages of labour as I will just crack on (I had a cyst 18 months ago which I just got on with as I didnt want to bother anyone)
Anyway to the point I'm 39+6 with our first. I've had loose BM for a couple of days and go to bed feeling sick for the last 3 nights. I have had a few cases of quite intense cramping but it only lasts a few seconds. Is this is all signs my body is preparing itself. I don't see my midwife till I'm 40+3 so can't ask her till then?
I haven't lost my mucus plug or atleast not noticeably.

Anyone else think the worst piece of advice for a first time mum is ‘you’ll be able to tell when you are in labour’!

Looking back I was in early labour for over a week, and while my hospital records say my labour was 1hr 14 mins it was actually closer to 10 hours. But I didn’t actually realise I was in labour ‘cause there would be no doubt about it’ so I only just made it to the hospital really!

It doesn’t help that I also mistook ‘regular contractions’ to mean they must be coming at regular intervals eg 1 min on 4 mins off, not like mine which were more like 1 min on 5 mins off 40s on 3 mins off ect.

I’m having my baby tomorrow

I have just found out that I am going to be induced tomorrow. After a rough pregnancy this is the best decision for us I will be 39 weeks and 5 days. Anyone got any tips or advice to make the process smoother.

Baby Movement

I’m 19w2d and am super anxious to feel baby move. I’m a plus size girlie and read it can take a little longer for us to feel movement. When did you all feel your baby move for the first time?!!
