Nicknames

We like the name Elliott & Louie but I really don’t like the nickname Lou & my husband doesn’t like the nickname El. Are there any others they will likely get shortened too? We will just use the full name but nicknames always appear!

I had a guy at university called Lio and he was an Elliott. Hope that helps!

Aww our son was almost called Elliott but ended up a Louie 😊 we just don't have a nickname for him as I'm also not too keen on Lou x

I wouldn’t automatically shorten either of those.

Elliott - Otto, Elio, Lio or Eli

Both such lovely names!! My cousin Elliot is an Elliot but occasionally family call him by his initials of first and middle name as EJ

Elliott - Lee, Otto

My friend’s toddler is Elliot and he’s nicknamed Elly (pronounced like Ellie)

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
