Is Sofia or Sophia (which spelling do you like?) over done? Like too many ppl name their babies this?

I’m having twins, one I want to name violet. I like violet and Sofia/sophia together or maybe violet and Sophie but I have no idea what to name them. Dad likes Violet and Lucy. Thoughts? Please suggest other names that go with Violet too!

I like the “Sophia or Sophie” spelling

My suggestion:

Violet and Indigo

May depend where you are, but I know a lot of under 4 year old Sophia/Sofia's - in UK.
Sofia tends to be the more European spelling - Italian or Portuguese, whereas Sophia was the traditional English/American spelling. Though both spellings are very popular now.

Other options for twin two - Violet and:
Liliana
Jasmine
Odette
Lucinda (nn Lucy)
Lucille (nn Lucy)
Melody
Sienna
Sapphire
Scarlett
Daphne
Ophelia

Violet & Esme

It is very popular, but if it’s your fave then go for it! Lucy is cute 💗

Violet and…

Summer
Marlowe
Juniper
Brooke
Monroe
Autumn
Gemma
Hadley
Stevie
Dottie
Winter
Maeve
Aspen
Willow
Daisy
Maisie/Maisy
Emory/Emery
Margot
Linden
Sylvie
Pippa
Haven
Millie
Arden
Indie
Willa
Calla
Esme
June
Lola
Etta
Wren
Dove
Eden
Thea

I’m having twins too and one is named Sophia. But I’m calling her Sofi. Idk if this helps but her sisters name is Katelyn. (Kati) so Kati and Sofi

Violet & Sophia is really nice! Others:
Violet & Phoebe
Violet & Margot
Violet & Eden (Edie)
Violet & Nora
Violet & Ivy

Violetta and Lucia or even Luciana would be so cute. Giving it an exotic flare but also allowing them to go by violet or Lucy later on as well.

I loveeee Violet and Sofia/ Sophia.
Either spelling is beautiful but I love how the names give them their own personality

Very popular.

Violet and Alina
Violet and Audrey
Violet and Blair
Violet and Camilla
Violet and Diana
Violet and Elara
Violet and Fiona
Violet and Josey
Violet and Marina
Violet and Marcy
Violet and Julia
Violet and Ophelia
Violet and Solina
Violet and Therese

I like Sophia

i like sophia spelt like that, violet is more overused than sophia where im from, but that wouldn’t prevent me from using it. if you love those names then use them! x

I loooooove Sophia and Sofia. I would err on Sophia because I think it’s more common but either spelling is fine. Sophia/Sofia and Violet is an adorable pairing.

I say stick to your guns! I personally have a popular name and I still love it. Made a lot of friends as a kid because we were the “Emily’s” it’s not a bad thing.

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back

Doctors appt horror stories

I got peed on at my one month olds doctors appointment and I wanted to see if others had similar experiences. It was just hilarious but also like whyyyy! Also jeez those doctors seem to be so rough when they’re pressing on the baby’s stomach and just moving them around checking their muscles and stuff.

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?
