Girl names

Hello! I’ve found out we are having a baby girl today! 💕 Over the moon as we already have a 2 year old little boy!

I really like the name ‘Florrie’ - a version of Florence which means ‘flourish or blossoming’. I haven’t really heard it being used in the U.K. and would love people’s honest opinions? I was thinking of Florrie Anne, after my middle name.

I’ve never heard of this before but I really like it!xx

I’d go with Florence and you can call her Florrie, then she has the choice of whether she goes by that or Florrie when she’s older x

Florrie is super cute - i love both Florrie and Flossie as nicknames for Florence. i love that Florrie isn't popular in the UK, yet it fits in with the current trend of vintage names like Nellie, Winnie, Bonnie, Hattie etc, and also has such a pretty meaning! 🌸

Thankyou! It’s such a beautiful name with a lovely meaning too. Florrie was a popular name in its own right in English Victorian times before dying out and hasn’t reached popularity yet which is why I love it even more! 🩷

I have a 2 year old Florence who wants to be known as Florrie now! I think going with Florence and having the option to shorten works best to have the choice when older but obviously it's whichever you prefer.

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Caffeine addiction suuucks. (Coffee)

I'm off of literally everything. Don't smoke, no medicine, don't drink except VERY rare occasion, nothing. I drink a large coffee everyday (usually mcdonalds or 7 brew)... or a couple cups of coffee at home if I don't get out. Today I had neither and I was OUT FOR THE COUNT. Awful headache, no motivation, throwing up. Then I drink coffee and it's instantly better. 🙃 coffee is one hell of a drug I tell ya.
