I like the spelling Alana but I feel like it will be pronounced wrong

Alahna is how I'd spell it but Alana is a close second. My niece is Elaina and I've seen Alaina, but I do think "Alana" could easily be mispronounced as "Alaina" so I'd throw in the H to make it sure it's ahhh and not ayyy

My oldest is Alana, pronounced as “Alaina” but anyone who is not family related pronounces her name as “Alahna”, for 3 years I have been so guilty on her name and wondering if it really is uh lawn uh but seeing comment truly made me feel relieved thank you

I’m surprised to see Alorna I feel like that has completely different pronunciation, I got this name from the little mermaid since it’s one of her sisters it’s spelled Alana is pronounced uh-lawn-uh, thank you for your responses

Same! I'd pronounce it exactly how it's spelled ah-lore-nah 😅

The mermaid on Ariel, alana, is pronounced a-lah-na. Like lana del rey but with an a

Alauna is the right answer

I've had this conversation like 30x in my life about the name Alana. Dead set on uh-law-na

Law and La are different sounds. Alana- three letter As all pronounced similarly. If you want the aw/or sound it wouldn't be spelt Alana. I'm from the UK though so maybe accents play a part in this too. My vote is Alorna

that makes more sense, I’m in the US and alorna sounds like ah-lore-nah reminds me of Alora, when I say law and la there’s no difference. That’s interesting tho😊

Lore and law sound the same in my accent which is why I and others were confused! but lah is a totally different sound.
Alorna and alawna would be said the same

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!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
