Opinions on the name Gabriel?

What do you think of when you hear this name? I'm worried it sounds a bit too 'posh' for us 🙈 we're also not religious and I know it has religious connotations so not sure about it! quite like the nn Gabe but also not sure!

I don’t see it as a posh name. It’s nice though

Love it. I don’t see it as posh or religious. I think of a hunky Latino. Very hot guy name.

It makes me think of the angel but surprisingly doesn’t feel like a biblical name, like at all. Kind of like David, technically biblical but it’s taken on it’s own so much of its own life outside the bible that the connection feels irrelevant. I also don’t think it sounds especially posh. I do think it’s a very beautiful and usable name!

It’s a nice name. A posh sounding name is also not a bad thing at all

This is my sons name and I still love it 14 years later!

We've only ever had compliments about it.

He's now a 5ft 10, size 11.5 feet strapping lad. Into playing the electric guitar, films, keeping fit, colouring, gaming, drama and rugby!

We are not posh by any means, but he's a good lad and his friends all think his name's cool! We are not religious at all.

We've only met a few Gabriel's over the years. 💕

I think it’s a cute name. When I read it I thought of a little boy I used to take care of at one of my old jobs.

There are lots of Bibical names that people use all the time like Rebecca and Ruth. Gabriel is another one of those names.

Yeah I think of it as more Latin American than posh or religious... could just go with Gabe if you're worried though I know a little boy Gabriel and it's cute on him. It's not for me personally but wouldn't think it was weird or posh if I heard it at all! Do it if you like it xx

I LOVE this name but my husband hates it so we can’t use! Cry cry! But I know of a guy called Gabriel who gets Gabe as a nickname and he’s super cool

I love it but personally would prefer a name that’s slightly posh than slightly chavvy! lol x

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??

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!
