Boy names

I am REALLY struggling to name my baby.. I’m due in 3 weeks. Did anyone else have this issue? How did you pick? I really don’t like most name options, and the ones I like, my husband doesn’t and vice versa. Help.

I have no advice I just gave solidarity. At this point his name is going to be “Mr. baby” lol

I’m due in 2 weeks. No name for this boy. Used the one boy name I liked with my last one. My husband has the worst suggestions at this point. No advice, we tried a March madness style bracket of names but even that failed to produce an outcome

For my first we narrowed it down to 3 that we loved and wanted to wait until she was here to actually choose so that way we could see her and let the name kinda come to her. This time we’re doing the same, we have two names and once she’s here we’ll see what she feels more like.

I made a list and it was hard. My husband and I went through names we liked and landed on Cedric. I love Harry Potter and when I read Cedric Diggory’s name the first time, I really liked it. We chose Michael for the middle name after my uncle who raised me. My baby is in the NICU and all the staff love him name saying it’s not totally out there, a common name respelled w extra vowels, that they never ever hear it and love the connection to Harry Potter.

Due to be induced in May!

I have a June 15th due date but it’s looking like I’ll be induced at the end of May (a very long argument is ongoing about this with the hospital but we’ll say no more!)

This is my first baby so I’m starting to panic about pretty much everything. I’m focusing on the birthing bag first… what should I take? So far I’m thinking…


For me:

-Bra for birthing pool
-Towel
-Comfy clothes
-Slide on shoes
-Toiletries (toothbrush, moisturiser, face wipes, hair clip, hair brush)
-Long phone charger
-Medication
-Portable fan
-Tens machine
-Lucozade Sport drinks and some snacks
-Peri bottle
-Nipple cream
-Breast pads
-Maxi pads/adult nappies


For baby:

-Health record (red book)
-Colostrum
-Ready made pack of formula milk as a back up
-A couple of hats and socks
-Blanket
-Newborn and older size baby grows (long & short)
-Going home outfit
-Nappies and wipes? (Seems silly but will the hospital provide them?)

Which girl name?

I tend to like names a bit more unique but not weird. I like Soraya but worried about how it’ll get pronounced. Think I like it sounding RAY best

First baby

I have some questions because I don't have much experience—this is my first baby. What will happen after 40 weeks, once the due date has passed, if the baby doesn't come? Or after 42 weeks, will I have a normal delivery or need a C-section?

Iron tablets

Has anyone else that took/takes iron tablets (Ferrous fumarate) ended up with diarrhoea and extreme uncomfortable aches/pains in the stomach hard to explain the feeling. I’ve tried contacting midwife but she’s not answering.
