WIBTA for calling my son Henry?

I am due in Dec and if my blood test was right, we're having a boy (we find out 'offically' at 15 weeks due to private gender scan') I have loved the name Henry for a long time but I am wondering if that name is not appropriate for the time with the recent murder of Henry Novak and the uprising here in the UK. This is a very sensitive subject so I hope I haven't been disrespectful.

The attention given to the murder will fade with time. I'm sure it will be practically forgotten in a couple of years and Henry is a classic name that will never go out of style. I would go with the name you love 🄰

Baby boy is here 🩵

After being so nervous for an ECV, my boy decided he couldn't wait anyway and arrived on 25th May (the hottest day of the year 🄵) via emergency c-section. He's a tiny 6lb 7 ounces and arrived 12 days early šŸ˜…

My eldest is 2 in July and already the best big brother šŸ˜šŸ„¹

Heartbroken

I went to do an emergency Ultrasound since I have having brown discharge and some bleeding when I went to wipe after using restroom for a week straight and some cramping. There was no heart beat and I’m supposed to be 7 weeks and I couldn’t see much in the ultrasound. I think that the baby stopped growing. I am praying that everything is fine but I’m just in the ER room waiting for answers. šŸ’”šŸ™

Fetal Movements

Hey, I’ll be 34 weeks tomorrow with my first baby. Bubs is usually very busy and i’ve been feeling really strong movements frequently throughout the day everyday. Today, however, he has seemed really quiet, I have felt a few movements but not as strong or frequent as usual. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time but also don’t want to miss something if something is wrong… Has anyone else been having any similar experiences? šŸ¤

C-section Trauma

I'm 37 weeks pregnant with my second and having a hard time deciding whether or not to do a scheduled C-section for this baby. My first is almost 4 years old and was an emergency C-section after 3 hours of pushing. The experience was extremely traumatic and I don't feel like I'm "over it".

I had an appointment today at the hospital and accidentally walked into the maternity floor and had a panic attack that has left me crying for hours. I don't want to be triggered like this after 4 years. Everyone I know who has had an emergency C-section is living their lives normally. I feel like I can't move through this no matter what I do. And now I feel like it's affecting my second child.

Looking for either advice or sympathy lol
