We can’t decide on a name we both like

Hi, my husband and I cannot decide on a name we both like. We have a list and tried condensing it, but I don’t 100% like the name.
I’m 40 weeks pregnant and on a time crunch to find a name 😂🙈 I have one I REALLY love but he doesn’t like it at all.
I feel like at this point I should be able to choose a name. I’m carrying the baby, I struggled with the symptoms, and had a not-so-lovely pregnancy journey so far (plus two miscarriages in the past). Am I being selfish for wanting to choose the name?

No not selfish at all. Do what I did and say it’s between two names and you’ll decide once you meet the baby. Then once your husband watches you go through labour and you’re all exhausted you look at your baby and say he/she looks like a and then I bet your husband says yes 🤣

Im a firm believer that it should be argeed on by both parents. Yes you had to deal with the pregnancy but you will both be raising the child. What are the names you love and he loves? Maybe we can help with a compromise

I was all about finding a name we both like but now after everything is done I must say: you definitely have the final say 😄 I wish I would’ve thought like that before. Would’ve made it a lot easier. I think it’s important your partner does like the name though of course but if it’s not a red flag, do as the previous girls suggested and just tell him right after birth. 😆

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.

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.

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.

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!
