Im afraid of his name choice...

So i got to name our first baby because it was a girl and we both agreed on the middle name because our moms happened to have the same middle name! Now this time its a boy and he gets to pick the first name and I get to pick the middle name. The problem is this...he likes older "classic" names. If he goes with William i will pick Cade as the middle name and call him Cade primarily (i want to avoid nick names like little willy) But recently he has expressed that he might want to use his name. I really dont want to tell my husband that I dont like his name. But I also dont want to name my son something I hate. Ugh....im gunna have to tell him aren't I?!?!

Yes girl, u carrying that baby for 9 months and risking ur life to push him out… at the end of the day the decision is yours! My first is a jr and I regret it till this day but my bd completely took advantage of my emotional state when it was time to name him and I didn’t feel like arguing it

Ughhhh when I was super convinced I was having a boy before our NIPT result I was in a super similar struggle. Could I ask what his name is ? Maybe you can get creative. For example my husbands name is Michael which I really do like as a name but I didn’t love the idea of our son not having his own identity. We agreed to a J middle name from my side of the family and to have him go by MJ

To Bray’s point my mom to this day regrets letting my dad strong arm her into giving him a junior too

His name is Charles and im really happy I rarely have to call him that lol I really am not a fan. Plus he has 2 other boys he's gotten to put his 2 cents in so im gunna try to steer hard away from Charles 😆. My best bet is it's also his dad's name who he doesnt like. I dont want him to know I hate his name unless iy comes down to it 😒

Is 10am too early for a 6 year old birthday party?

It’s a pizza making party and that’s the time before the restaurant opens properly at 11:30.

Would you be upset: no midwives showed up for their appointments and no one was told

I was supposed to have my 34 week appointment today where my anemia was going to be checked and she was going to follow up on my VBAC consultation that I been trying to get. I got to the GP and another expectant Mum advised me that no midwives have shown up and she had been waiting since 9:30 (it was 10:15) and the GP didn't know what was going on. So, we both rang maternity and it turns out that the midwife clinic was cancelled today (no illnesses or anything)... However, no one was told. I am a bit upset because I have concerns at the moment and have been waiting a few weeks to get a VBAC appointment. Just wondering if anyone else would be a bit upset at this, after travelling there especially if you are in a lot of pain? They said they can only apologize (which is true not their fault) and try to rebook as soon as they can.

Low percentile baby

Looking for positive stories only please 🙏 Has anyone been in a similar situation. Baby was 7.7th percentile on 1st growth scan and now 2.9th percentile. Estimated weight is 4.1lbs at 34 weeks. Tummy measurement bringing it down. Going for an additional scan tomorrow.

Natural!!

39 weeks tomorrow and i really wanna go into labour naturally without being induced!!! They say the pain is twice as much as naturally going into birth :(

Growth scans?

First time pregnancy - low risk. Have had scans at 12 and 20 weeks but see everyone talking about having growth scans booked in. Not been mentioned to me at all so just wondering if everyone has these or if it’s just if you’re higher risk? Seems mad i could go from 20 weeks to giving birth with no other scans!
