Shoul I let my child’s father rename our son?

So my whole pregnancy so far (I’m 19 week) my child’s father has been absent literally blocked me on everything do to the fact that I didn’t get an abortion. He currently in jail right now and he called me yesterday for the first time since my pregnancy. The conversation was very overwhelming and kind of annoying. My child’s father is 18 and I’m 17 so we are both teenage parents, he explained to me that he feel like “messed his life up” by not getting an abortion. that part lasted kinda long. As we proceeded to talk I told him our sons name (Ky’Mauri) he goes on to tell me that our child’s name is “ghetto” and I shouldn’t name him that because he wanted to name him something different. I explained to him that our child’s name has already been made up and that he can’t just pop up out of the blue trying to change things because he feels like he can because he is the father. He told me that I was immature for say that and I should consider him wanting to come to an agreement on a new name for the baby. So what do you all think I should do? Should I agree to changing our sons name or not?

I wouldn't even have him on the birth certificate, block him on everything.

Girl ain’t no way. If he cared that much he would’ve made sure he was around the entire time. You definitely didn’t ruin his life if anything a baby is a blessing. Don’t entertain that he wants to control something.

Girl don’t listen to that man he has no say so in the babies life if he feel like you ruining his and did he say he was gone step up and be a man and take care of his responsibilities or did he just want you to change the name either way that’s your baby you pick the name if he don’t like it oh well

he did say he was going to step up and be apart of the babies life. But he feels like I “ruined” his life because now he has a responsibility to take care of and I didn’t get an abortion like he told me to.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
