I love grace and Arthur but I hate Archie and names spelled Leigh when they want it pronounced as Lee . I cant see how it should be pronounced as anything but lay. Do people want it pronounced Ashleigh like ash-lay instead of ash-lee? Emme-lay? Drives me crazy

I’ve always hated the name Henry. I don’t know why though!

I’m gonna be honest.. I’d much rather a common name like Grace or Arthur than some of the absolute nonsense I’ve seen on this group 🤣 I’d personally rather a name that is real than a made up name, or a name intentionally spelt the wrong way so that child has to spent the majority of their life correcting the misspelling. I don’t think there is any name people should stop using though since it’s personal preference, if someone likes Grace or Arthur and are prepared for there being lots of kids also called that then that’s fine.

Arlo, Harrison, Jude and Noah. Gorgeous names but very overdone!

lol I actually have friends with that name 😂😂 it’s all love

Avatar

omg YES! I hate trying to pronounce something and it be so simple 🙄

Avatar

in terms of popularity alone, probably Olivia, Amelia and Sophia for girls, and Liam, Oliver and Noah for boys. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Avatar

I love this name so much and I’m so mad that it’s so common 🤣 because of that I’d never use it- but I do actually really like Noah on a girl

Here in the US, names like Grace, Aria, Everleigh, Kinsley, Isabella, Mackenzie, Nevaeh, Raelynn, Sebastian, Elijah, Silas, Patrick, Ian, Samuel, Joshua, Daniel, Braxton… just not my style 🤷🏻‍♀️

Liam Noah Neveah & Anything with a Lee or Leigh at the end

Elijah, Levi, Myles or Miles, Silas, Eden love those names but very overused

Avatar

not offended but curious why you would think Leigh should be pronounced Lay? No one has ever gotten my name confused like that! As both place name and people name, it’s pronounced as Lee but it is more common as a female spelling 🤷🏼‍♀️

Grace and Oscar

Avatar

i read it has lei “lay” too. It’s definitely very common pronunciation 🤭 especially that I’m islander and it has lei with GH added the the end 🤙🏽

Avatar

I think Jessica means words like, ‘sleigh’ ‘neigh’. I agree with you that Leigh as a name is pronounced Lee, but there are some other words where it is lay.

Avatar

@HMK and @Ashleigh I was about to say this. Like it is one of the exceptions to "I before E" if it makes the long A sound...

Avatar

I have to agree with every one of you here 🤣 why do I dislike so many names 😅

Avatar

SUSAN and KAREN 😂 I literally can’t comprehend someone naming their baby “Karen”

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

It’s my birthday tomorrow.

Ok so I am going to be 35 years young. I can’t believe how much this life has thrown at me but it’s okay I’m a survivor. I am truly blessed to be alive. 🥳🧁🎂 The only downside is I won’t be celebrating my birthday because my man can’t take me out. So many emotions right now.

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
