What are your thoughts on the name Roscoe?

Hi all! My partner and I really like the name Roscoe for a boy. It is a Cornish name originating from the Old Norse words for deer wood. I quite like nature related names, I like the way it sounds and goes well with sister Astrid. It does have some negative associations which is making us double think. What are your first thoughts?

Roscoe has always been a favourite of ours - but it didn’t flow with our surname.

They can be called Ross when older if they don’t like it

My husband likes Roscoe and added it to the list for us. I don’t like the idea of shortened to Ross.

Curious what the negative association are thank you!

I am not sure how it would be pronounced (didn’t come across this before), but couldn’t it sound a bit like “rascal”?

Thanks for your responses! Surname would be Hunt so I think it would flow well.

Some of these comments are hilarious! I would never get someone’s opinion on a name if you like it go for it!

We never told families are chosen names until we announced their arrival! I would hate for someone to say something negative about sometime that was so important to us

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.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

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.

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!
