Am I being paranoid?

I'm 14 weeks along, first pregnancy, and some days I don't have much bloating/cramping/pressure in my lower abdomen.

This actually scares me because I'm scared there's something wrong with baby when I can't feel it so much.

Am I just freaking out for nothing? Is this normal? Thanks.

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.

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?

Funny story 😭😭😩

So I am on this weight loss journey but sometimes I get lazy or feel like I’m not using the bathroom enough because I eat a lot of protein.
So I decided to drink 2 laxatives this morning with my coffee.. all of a sudden I’m super nauseous and feel literally sick to my stomach and I’m over here almost crying thinking I’m about to die like what is wrong with me ..
Ran to the bathroom because everything hurts
And it all clicks.. I drank 2 laxatives pills and that’s why my stomach hurts
Mind you I’ve done this like 3 times already and already experience the same amnesia 🤣🤣🤣
MOMMY BRAIN OR WHATTTT

Birthday outing

I want people's opinion on if this is a good idea or not

My son's birthday is next Month and I don't want to have a party. I did that the first 2 times and it was stressful so we thought we will take him to the zoo and if any of the family want to come they can meet us at the zoo. We won't be able to pay for their tickets but I don't know if that is rude.

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

Mucus Plug

I’m 38 weeks and I lost my mucus plug just now. Out of all three of my pregnancies, this is the only one where I have had this happen. How long usually after you lose it, does the labor process begin?
