No name

So I’m almost 35 weeks, and we still don’t have a name for this baby! We have one idea but we aren’t set on it and i feel so bad we don’t have a name yet! I’ve searched SO many lists between google, Pinterest, and even downloaded name apps. We just haven’t found THE one yet. I have one name I love that realistically would work for either gender but I really want to save it just in case we decide to have another baby in a few years and it happens to be a boy… (but we might not have another, even though I want more, it may not be possible, we just don’t know for now). But I feel so guilty we don’t have the perfect name for this sweet baby. With our first we just knew when we first seen the name, and this time it’s like we just can’t find one we both agree on and equally love! I truly don’t know what to do! Ive sent my husband hundreds of names and he just doesn’t like any of them. The one name he does like I’m not really a big fan of… I feel so hopeless on finding a name. I don’t want to wait until they’re born. Ugh! It’s so frustrating! Any advice?

No advice, but we don’t have a name yet either! Getting down to the wire 🫣

Have you been able to see their face? If not, maybe go back and look at their earlier ultrasounds. Have them out while you’re going through name books. Also, I really liked going through lists of inspiring people and looking at their names.
I wouldn’t feel guilty not having a name. Don’t settle on something you don’t love. If you’re having a hard time deciding, it just means you haven’t found a name that’s special enough.

It’s okay to wait until baby is born to pick a name. There’s no rule that says you have to have one picked out by now, so don’t feel guilty. I’ve had friends that were stuck on a name from the moment they got pregnant and even ended up getting personalized stuff with the name on it, only to have the baby and see it didn’t fit. Meet your baby, see their little face, and you will figure out a name that fits. 👍💗

No advice sorry hun, we are the same no name chosen. We have a few we like but nothing for definite. We was the same with our daughter chose her name when she was born which is Nancy 🩷 I think once you see your baby you will know for sure what name is the best 🩷

In the same boat.

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?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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!
