I think it may be annoying on your part with explaining pronunciation as I read it as Len-ee but if you are okay with this I would go for it x

As above! I think its cute but pretty sure in the UK it would end up needing to be corrected a lot as most people would probably pronounce it as Len-ee

It is a cute name but with the spelling I agree alot of people will pronounce her name wrong for her life. If that is not an issue go for it 😊

Yes I agree it might be a continual case of correcting people! I guess a lot of people contend with that. We have to decide if it’s a deal breaker or not! ☺️

Agree with the above. You should only need to correct once and then they'll know though.

Is this normal?

So I am currently 38 weeks and I am experiencing really bad diarrhoea and nausea for past day or two is anyone else in the same situation? Not sure if this is a sign of my body preparing. Has anyone been through something similar?

recovery from D&C(miscarriage)

20 week scan notes

Really stupid question but do you notes you receive after your 20 week scan (The one with the measurements etc) say the babies gender? We’re having a surprise and i’m avoiding looking back at the document incase it says, don’t want to ruin it now after looking away etc at the scan

Am I panicking over nothing?

My baby has fluid on one of their kidneys, I have to drive 3 hours for a specialized ultrasound because my regular hospital doesn't have the equipment. My Dr said it's probably nothing to worry about but that it's still concerning enough that they want to check all the boxes before making any decisions. I'm 31 weeks 2 days. I don't want to worry about nothing but I'm 19 and this is my first. I don't really have anyone to ask. Thank you!

Elective c section

Hey!

I’m having my baby via elective c section at Birmingham women’s hospital due to medical reasons.

I know it might sound a silly question but it just occurred to me what happens with my bags why I’m in theatre?

Do they go somewhere as I’ve seen online that at the women’s you don’t go to a ward before the c section you go to a waiting lounge.

Thanks :) x
