Punched in the privates

Hi ladies, I am 38+6 with my second child and for the past few days I am in so much pain in my vagina area. I can be sitting down, go to stand and walk and it completely stops me. It's like I've been punched on my pubic bone and it's severely bruised (without the bruising ....or the punch!) I never had this with my first, is anyone else experiencing anything like it? I've had lightening crotch but this is different! May just be baby burrowing down ready?

Yeah a couple of times I’ve stood up and had to sit right back down because I feel like this baby is giving me a massive headbutt in my pelvis. I didn’t have this with my first either! At my last growth scan I was told baby is really low in my pelvis (and it was quite difficult to get a head circumference measurement actually) so maybe that’s why!

I am also 38+6!!! This is my first so just assumed this was something that happens 😩 ive been describing it as feeling bruised as well! Like my whole pubic bone feels like it! He’s been engaged for some time so assume its this, it bloody hurts!

Different symptoms/gender related

This is my second pregnancy and i have very different symptoms this time. I mainly just feel tired and occasionally feel sick. With my daughter i was SO sick for like 6 weeks straight. Wondering if this can be gender related?

Has anyone had really different symptoms for each pregnancy and had different genders?

Insomnia

Hey guys just want to see if anyone else is struggling with really bad insomnia? It’s 8.15am and I still haven’t slept! Usually it’s between 4-5am I will doze off but the past couple of days it hasn’t been until 6/8!! It’s driving me crazy 🥹🥹

Naming our son

So I’m not sure how to tell my child’s father that I’m not naming him what he wants to name our baby for a couple reasons.
1. He only has his last name and middle name.
2. He picked out the first name
3. My son practically won’t have any ties to me.
We’re not together but even when we were I wasn’t comfortable with the name and just ran along with it to not cause drama. But now that we are together and most of the time don’t get along , I don’t want to give him that much power of his name.
I don’t mind giving him the first name as a middle name and both his and my last name but he went and got the name tattooed before we even agreed on it.
How do I tell him how I feel because honestly I already know the drama is gonna be horrible after.
