Growing so fast???

My son was born this February 2026 and he was 8lbs and 8 ounces. When he went for his 2 month shots appointment he was 14 lbs. he completely skipped newborn clothing and now that he is 3.5 months he is wearing 12 month clothing. Does anyone else have a baby growing very fast like this? When I had my daughter in 2009 she was much slower than this. It feels like he is fast forwarding.

WATER

Anyone else wake up randomly in the middle of night and just chug a ton of water? I swear most of my water intake happens between the hours of 12-3am😅 I’m talking almost an entire 32oz water bottle lol (also and exclusive pumper so not sure if that influences it all)

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.

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

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?
