One week to go and no name

Hi all! Looking for wisdom and advice. I’m expecting my second baby girl (c section next Friday) and my husband and I still can’t decide on a name. We love our firsts’ name so much and it felt so right but nothing feels the same this time… has anyone been in a similar situation? What did you do?

I haven't personally but my sister just went thru this she didn't have a name when she had her c section and had to think fast after I told her when you see your baby you'll know it'll be easier to make a choice

To be honest I think it might be a second baby of the same gender thing 😅 our first boy we were certain and loved the name from like 15 weeks and I just had our second boy in Feb and we finally picked the name after meeting him. The name feels right but the certainty and high excitement feelings just aren’t the same as with the first one.

Once you meet her , maybe it will click?

We had that with our son beforw he was born. We had some names in mind but nothing felt right. We decided right the minute he was born we were going to name him Logan

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
