Joie pronunciation

We went pram shopping at the weekend and the sales lady has blown my mind.

For some reason I always thought “Joie” was pronounced like “Joey” but she told me it’s actually “joy”

Does everyone know this? Am I just stupid 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

Not at all!! I thought it was Joey too, like a play on the name of a baby kangaroo. 😆

It’s a French word, needs to be pronounced « Jwa »

Yea it’s not Joy either?! Like said, its a soft j(like the end of “garage”) and “wah” like the first sound in “wash”
Zhwah!

I knew, but that's just because I studied French.

You explained it so much better than I did 😂

My name is Joy! My question is why would they spell it Joie 😂

Technically it’s a french word and it is pronounced “jwa” but…everyone pronounces it “Joey” for some reason 😭😂

I never actually thought of it like this just thought it was joey 🤣

you and blowing my mind even more! Might go back and tell her how to pronounce it properly with how patronising she was to me about it 🤣🤣

Avatar

ok this makes me feel better I thought I’d got joey out of nowhere 🤣🤣

I’ve heard a sales assistant call it “Joey”

I got confused because I called it Joy

It is "Jwah" to me, as in Joie de Vivre.

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?

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!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
