Names similar to Pamela

My mothers name was Pamela, passed away when I was young, and would like to give my daughter a middle name that somehow ties my mothers energy in. I’m currently trying to think of words I can use that just remind me of her energy instead of straight up using her name. Yet I was wondering if there’s people here with any ideas!

The first name I like the most for my expecting daughter ends with an A. So rings similar. I don’t think it sounds right to call her
D___a Pamela Hardcastle.
It’s a bit repetitive
So I’m a bit lost.

My mothers maiden name translates to Dove which is pretty howeva the name I like (that my partner also loves too) starts with a D

Amelie also sounds fairly similar to Pamela.

Paloma is a name that means "dove" and also sounds similar to Pamela - so that could work as a tribute, as it subtly combines both her first and maiden name.

the names Jemima and Jem also mean "dove", so they could be a way to associate your daughter's name with your mother's maiden name. 🕊

or the name Pamela itself means "honey/sweetness" - you could go with a name that has a similar meaning:

Honey
Bea/Bee
Dulcie - sweet
Melissa - honey bee
Melina - little honey
Dulcibella - sweet/pretty
Pamina - little honey
Melinda - beautiful honey
Malinda - beautiful honey
Melona - sweet as honey
Permillia - honey
Roanna - sweet
Melita - honey

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!

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?
