Baby names

So my bd only wants to name the kids ok cool some stress off of me but we at least have to agree on the name so he wants to name our kids after his family only he doesn’t want them to have anything related to my family and I hate it but he tried to name our daughter Fanta it’s one of his sisters name (he’s full on Muslim I’m still learning to be Muslim) also I didn’t let him name her that hell no my baby wasn’t finna get bullied but he wants to name our son mahamadou and im not to keen on that name but he doesn’t care what I have to say but also he most likely won’t be at the hospital so i might fill out the paperwork before he gets there bc no I understand it’s his family name but I don’t like that name it’s nothing wrong with it but my family won’t be able to say it

Personally, I think the baby’s name should be agreed on by both of you definitely! I mean, what is the reason HE needs to be the only one to pick the name? Did you agree to that? are you really happy with that? That doesn’t seem fair, especially if he’s so against the name being from YOUR family. If that’s the case then if it was my situation I wouldn’t let my child be named after HIS family either. To make it fair for the BOTH of you, you should come to agreement on a name that maybe is in neither of your families, a name that is new to the both of you. This is just my personal opinion and what would only seem fair to me. Xx

Your family won't be able to say it? Sounds like the beginning of a bunch of problems. It's one thing not to like the name, but assuming your baby will be bullied for it is just a reflection of how you feel about it.

How are you learning to be Muslim? Are you converting? Are you planning to get married?

She’s here!!

A bit of a late one but she was due 11th of June but baby Evangeline made her appearance on 30th May!
I had been contracting for days on end with no real pattern, on the 30th I went back into triage with reduced movement and tightenings and she didn’t meet criteria and wasn’t improving so they decided to deliver her via emergency c section that same day. I actually went into labour whilst waiting to go into theatre and was having contractions 2 minutes apart and they gave me the choice to try labour and deliver naturally or have a section, they told me I had a over 50% chance that I’d need a section anyway so for baby girls safety I went ahead with a section.
I had been hoping for a vbac this time round as my little boy was also an emergency section but this c section was so healing from last time. I was able to be awake to hear her first cry and hold her straight away, it was such a beautiful experience 💕
Welcome to the world Evangeline 💖

Blood clot

Anybody else had a blood clot in the chest area during and then after pregnancy? When I was 26 weeks our hospital suspected I had a blood clot but was later ruled out but I’m now 2 months after my c section and I’m now having the same symptoms and have just been up a and e and have been told they think I have another blood clot in a vein in my chest. I’m quite devastated as I feel like I’ve spent my maternity quite unwell so far. I just want to be healthy and able to look after my baby. I’m so scared I’m going to die. I really don’t want to. Anyone had this as well?

Baby boy has arrived 🩵👼

Yet to be named but completely in awe ♥️

She’s here

Came exactly on her due date. Was due to be induced but everything went left .. got into labour naturally. Ended up with an emergency c section. Was a very long and emotional day, but I’m glad we both made it out. Congratulations to those who welcomed their June bundle of joys, this app made it bearable for me for the past 9 months and seeing how all the other ladies where dealing with same things as I was, it was comforting. All the best to those still waiting.
Kiarah , born 9th June, 8lbs 3oz - we are all so in love with her, she’s got her big sis wrapped around her little finger already.

Clueless to what to name the baby

Did anyone else struggle with picking a name. Is there time after birth to choose a name or does it have to ready by the time you in the hospital?

Baby boy arrived yesterday 💙

Baby boy arrived at 40 weeks & 5 days. Born yesterday at 10:32am after only arriving at the hospital 8:30am. Didn’t make it out of triage, no time for any pain relief either 😭. But he’s here and safe and worth being overdue for. His older sister is already so besotted with him 💙🩷
