Birth certificate

My baby was born November 27th, did you guys receive your baby’s birth certificates already? Because I’m still waiting but it’s taken this long already, should I look into it?

We had to go down a week after he was born to pick it up from the courthouse. I also just ordered one from our courthouse online and it only took 2 days to get here :)

I had to go pick mine up at the courthouse, apparently that's the norm here?

I got a copy from the hospital but had to get the real deal from the health department

The hospital filed the paperwork and we had it within two weeks

Idk about CA but in MD they don’t send us the birth certificate . We have to go to vital records and pay for them to print it.

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

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 😃
