Hand foot & mouth + C-section…

Hi, I’m looking for some advice:
Last week my son had HFM and is now recovered, my partner now has some spots coming up and I’m scheduled for an elective section in 9 days ☹️.

If I catch it, will they still do the C-section?
Do I let them know I’ve been exposed to HFM?
Do I tell them now or wait until I go in?

36w5days headache that won’t shift

Hi I’m 36w 5 days I’ve had a really bad headache since yesterday that I just cannot shift taken paracetamol too it feels more like a migraine headache. As far as I know my blood pressure is always normal/ low and don’t have pre eclampsia. When should I be concerned

Help us pick

So me and my partner have only found a few names we can mutually agree on; what name do you think suits best?
Middle name will be Marie Tilly

I am having a chemical pregnancy or just early?

I found out I am pregnant a week ago (I am 4 weeks 5 days pregnant) I am only 4 days late as I found out very early. I have been testing since and my test are staying the same. Has this happened to anyone else? I don’t have much pain just on and off cramps every now and again, no bleeding. I started testing with the pink strips on Wednesday. Should I be worried? Is it normal for my test to stay the same? Other test in comments.

Nobody warned me about this....

So I got my first postpartum period on Monday. Now I was a medium-heavy flow before getting pregnant. But my god this period

Blood clots galore (none bigger than a 50p coin), soaking through pads every 3-4hrs, constantly needing to go to the toilet to clean myself up every time I stand up. I've had to throw out knickers and have ruined 3 pyjama bottoms already from getting up in the mornings 😮‍💨

I'm getting proper fed up with it now. Is this normal?

Partners family crossing a line about our baby’s name.

I don’t know if I’m being a bit over sensitive/dramatic.

My baby will be having my partners surname, and his family have chosen the middle name - it’s tradition in their family for the first born son to have a particular middle name - I don’t really like the name but I agreed because it’s important to them.

I have chosen a first name I really love and my partner has agreed to it because he already has the middle and surname, but his family hate it and are trying to convince me out of it. They keep telling me it’s a horrible name and are trying to push other names on me that I don’t like. I’ve tried to explain why I like the name but they just won’t stop and accept it. I’m finding it quite rude and it’s beginning to hurt my feelings. It feels like they don’t care about me having any input in my son’s name at all.

Am I overreacting.. should I just ignore it, should I say something to them or should I consider changing the name since everyone seems to hate it so much?
