Éowyn for a girl?

I love the name Éowyn and once it was on the list it has just become the default, we're using it already (34 weeks). I am conscious that she'll likely have to spell it/ tell people how to say it (ay-oh-win) but that's true for a lot of names (especially Irish ones, which we are). Yes it's from Lord of the Rings 😅 that isn't the why/ it isn't a character inspiration, I just love how it sounds, I do also like Elowen and similar ("real world") names. Thoughts/ opinions? ☺️

I love it but I'm irish 😂 I didn't make the connection with Lord of the rings 😅

Also love it, also Irish 😀 living in UK and we are set on having an Irish name for our boy. Think we’ve found the one that isn’t too hard to spell or pronounce. If I was living at home I would have went all out though 🤣 I love the name Éowyn!

Such a pretty name, love LotR too!! ❤️

Lovely pretty name ✨

I love it and it’s on our list because of lord of the rings

As a big LOTR fan I say go for it, I love that name.

As a HUGE lord of the rings fan, I highly approve of this name!
I have an Erin. Closest my ex would allow 🤦‍♀️😅

We love it too, but as we’ve already had/got dogs with the name merry and pippin I wonder if we’re going too far with it for a baby girls name as well 🤣 it’s soooo lovely, I’d go for it if I was you!!

I think it's gorgeous! I love E names anyway, they just sound and look so lovely. We have an Elanor (also LOTR) because her dad is a huge fan 🙈🥰

I wanted Éowyn but other half didn’t like it but I think it’s stunning!!🩷

We love it - it was one of our favourites. We have an Esmae but I think Eowyn and Esmae sound lovely together so it’s back in the running if we have another!

My baby girl is 4 weeks old today named Aoife, we live in the uk and only have Irish grandparents.. we constantly have to tell people how it’s said or spelt 😂😂 it’s slightly irritating but I love it and wouldn’t change it ❤️

😍😍😍

My cousin named her daughter Éowyn, I think it’s beautiful!

You know I thought it was weird but I like it! Has a very mystical feel to it. So I guess maybe weird isn't the right word, maybe just unusual? But in a good way! Don't bear this name much

Love it

I love it and knew how to say it straight away...but also irish and a LOTR fan 😂

Love it and didn't realise its LOTR either. We have irish dogs Fiadh and Maeve and our son (25 weeks preg) will be named Conall

Such a cute name! I’ve had to spell my name out/tell people how to say it my whole life, and it only bothered me in high school because I was a teenager. Honestly, it has made me feel really connected with my name and I am more conscious when I pronounce other peoples names, I’ll ask how too. I’d say don’t sweat it overall, it’ll make her a more understanding person! And it’s a really pretty name!

Love the name!

I love it 🥰

Induction?

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

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
