Does this name sound okay? Van Wes (surname)

We like unpopular names but that are still easy to pronounce as my husbands family is Russian. Will have a sister whose name is Willow. Wes is also my dad’s middle name. Other suggestions welcome!

Contractions

So I’m pretty sure I’m in early labour 😅 I’m getting contractions every 3 mins lasting 1 min each which is the requirement to go into hospital but the contractions aren’t all that painful i can still think and talk ect through them so idk what to do, i live an hour from hospital and my active labour with my son only lasted 1h so what are we thinking should i go down or not bother? x

First midwife appointment

Hi , I’ve got my first midwife appointment on Friday and I was wondering what to expect or what they do. All I’ve been told is that it’s just a health thing and they take bloods and it can take up to hours .

Concerned mumma here

I’m 26+5 and last night I was getting a lot of tightness I didn’t expect much of it as I thought it was normal but all day today I’ve felt a lot of tightness/pain and pressure as well as vomiting as well as feeling dizzy and nauseous and a little bit like shaky, is this normal?

Anal fissures - TMI

Sorry this is a bit TMI, I’m 6 weeks PP (vaginal delivery with episiotomy). I have had 2 occasions since giving birth where I have had a poo and felt some pain and had a small amount of red blood on the tissue when wiping. Bit graphic but I have looked in the mirror and on both occasions appear to have a small kind of paper cut on my bum hole area, it’s a little bit painful for a couple of hours but then passes and no problems the next time I have needed to go to the loo. I wondered if anyone else has had similar pp?

Cramps

Anyone else 37 weeks and have constant period type cramps? I also feel like my tummy is so tight all the time. Can't sit or lay comfortably in any position and when I stand I feel like im going to wet myself 🤣🙈 is this just how it is at the end sometimes?
