Middle name suggestions for Rory and Clara

We don't know the gender - induction booked for 5 days time on boxing day but struggling for middle names for the first names we've chosen! Rory for a boy, Clara for a girl.
Any suggestions welcome, for a girl just want to avoid Grace/May/Rose as they are so popular as middle names. TIA

I see the theme 😉. My daughter is Aimée Rose obviously different spelling of first name but you can probably guess where both names are from so following that;
Jenny
Ace
Susan
Sarah or Jane
Harry
Leela
Romana
Adric
Teegan
Nyssa
Peri
Melanie
Amy
River for either boy or girl
Graham
Ryan
Dan
Jamie
Victoria
Zoe
Polly
Ben
Lucie
Charlotte.
Jane is my favourite that goes with Clara
And Adric strangely goes with Rory

My daughter is also called Clara, such a lovely name! We ended up going with a family name as a second name, but before we thought of that, I really liked Joan as a second name. I'm into history and I loved the thought of her being named after a strong female character out of history like Joan D'Arc. Clara Joan sounds really nice to me depending on what last name you have and if it works together with that too. Other names that I can imagine as nice middle names are: Amelie, Noelle (especially with a Christmas birthday) , Wren and Louise.

oh my god, I also just made the Clara&Rory connection with Doctor Who! Funnily enough my daughter Clara is also named due to the inspiration of Clara in Doctor Who.

is there a theme?! Luckily if there is an accidental theme we'll only be using one or the other!
Thank you, I like Jane too actually 😊 x

aww Joan is my Granny's name! My only remaining grandparent. I could definitely put that to my husband although he'd probably want his grandparent's name then if we had another child!
I like the idea of Christmassy too, I like Clara Holly but that has been vitoed.

Yeah, the theme is Dr Who companions. Matt Smith's Dr had Amy and Rory as companions and then Clara, Clara crossed over to be Peter Capaldi's companion also. You accidentally stumbled on 2 names of which are instantly recognisable to Dr Who fans. On their own obviously no one would know but the combo made me think they were purposeful Dr Who themed choices.

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?

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

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!
