Name recommendation to go with Ralph

Even though my due date is in 3 weeks we are still yet to pick a name 🙈

My son is called Ralph and we like old traditional names. Everyone always comments on how much they like Ralph and I feel like nothing comes close to how much we like it.

I like Oscar personally but other names we have are Thomas and Jack but I'm hoping for some other suggestions if anyone has any 😊

Before even getting to the end of reading this post, I saw the name Ralph and immediately thought Oscar then read the rest of it 🙈🤣 they go so well together x

See I want Oscar but my partner said today he doesn't like it that much but fails to come up with anything else I like. We're really finding it hard to pick a name 🙈

it’s so difficult to find something you both 100% love isn’t it? We’ve had similar but have agreed on names (for a boy and a girl) we both like rather than names we both love. I hope you get it sorted lovely x

Sebastian I like but my boyfriend hated it😭

I loved ralph for a boy my second pick was Oliver x

We have a Rupert and Ralph was on our short list for this baby 😊

funny you say that because Ralph's middle name is Oliver. We also have a dog called Ollie so as much as we like it didn't fancy a dog and baby with the same name 😂

I do actually like Rupert but I'm sure I suggested it to my partner and he didn't like it before 🙈

yeah it's nice but bit long for me. We both prefer short names. Why is it so hard to pick a name! 🙈

thank you. Yeah so difficult, we never even managed to pick a girls name if we was having a girl lol. I feel like we're just gonna have to wait till he's born 😂

one of the girls at work who has 2 children said before she chose the name for her second she shouted both of them together as though she was shouting them back at the park or something to see how they sounded. That’s how she decided, just do that at home, obviously not in public people might think you’ve lost it 🤣 x

Yuppp

my boyfriend likes short names to, we have a Zack and we are having an Oli in 23 days!

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
