Advice

Im nearly 20 weeks and I keep getting awful pains in my lower belly and back (similar to period pains) and sharp stabbing pains in my right side, my belly goes like a rock when this happens and is lasting around 10 minutes each time. Does anyone know what can help ease this and what it could be please? Iv tried lying down but it seems to help worse when I do.

My little one has arrived 💕

My little May bundle of joy arrived yesterday safely via emergency section (was a planned section but ended up going into labour the night before).
She shares a birthday with her big brother who turned 19 yesterday 💙

Our hearts are full of love and we can’t wait to take her home later.

Baby number 2 name help!

My sons name is Isaiah, his dad chose his name as it was a name he wanted for his son since he was a child and agreed I could chose our second child’s name. I’m now pregnant with our second son and I only like two names Azariah and Amari. But Azariah is my main choice and a name I liked since I was pregnant with my son. I like that it’s a biblical name like Isaiah and sounds good together. My son’s dad thinks it sounds too girly. My point is that it’s a male name used throughout the bible and now it’s unisex but slightly more common for boys. Am I bugging? I feel like it’s such a good boys name but don’t want him to be made fun of for having a name that’s too girly if I’m not being realistic?

Bumpdate!

How are all our bumps doing??

I’m 35+2 and feeling huge now! Definitely a lot bigger this pregnancy in comparison to my first, I was about this size at 41 weeks with my son lol.

Feeling very heavy 🙈 we’re almost there!

Labor Induction

FTM and i’m officially 41 weeks, I had my appointment today and they scheduled me for induction next week (totally understandable) Does anyone have anything that helped them go into labor naturally? I’ve been pumping, walking, bouncing, seems like everything and nothing is helping. I can’t help but feel defeated. I really wanted to avoid being induced :/

Gender Scan

I have my second scan next which is when I am 18weeks, the next one isn’t until I am 24 weeks. Do you think they would be able to tell me the gender next week? Has anyone else been told earlier than 20weeks before with their NHS scans? 🤞🏼💚🩷
