Names

Due at the end of the month but will likely be induced in the next week or so and honestly we have no name options for baby boy.

We like names that aren’t super common but not weird and can be shortened- I’m actually starting to stress that he’s not going to have a name for ages

Is a baby activity mat necessary?

Only thing I’ve put off buying is one of the padded activity mats for ground that has stuff baby can look up at / do tummy time. Is it necessary and or helpful or can I pass on it?

38 weeks!

Looking for some advice, was admitted for reduced movements on Friday but self discharged as everything was okay and movements picked up. Since last night I’ve been having light spotting and then this morning feel like again movements have dropped even after a couple of cold drinks. I do have a doppler scan today so is it worth mentioning something when I get there or call up before I go?

Anyone bleed like a period in early pregnancy, or am I cooked?

I’m 10dpo today. Yesterday I was getting faints. Today they’re darker, but all of a sudden last night I started bleeding dark red like a period… but my tests today are darker but not dark enough for a digital. I’m worried about ectopic. If this were chemical wouldn’t the tests be lighter?

Moving to West Wales

Hi all,

I am pregnant and will be moving from South to West Wales. This means I will likely need to change hospitals even though I really don’t want to. I will like be consultant led so will be the hospital in Carmathen. I have read terrible things about the care there so I am nervous. Has anyone have experience of it? Has anyone moved but kept their original hospital - is this even possible when there is so much travel involved?
