I like the name Grace…

My husbands cousin is called Grace. His other cousins girlfriend is Grace. His brother’s girlfriend’s sister is Grace. Would it be a bad idea to call our baby Grace? Bearing in mind that they barely ever see these people… just at family events.

NEW BIRTHDAY TRADITION

Hello everyone!!!!!!!!!

My grandads bday is tomorrow August 7th and mine is August 8th. Since he is no longer with us, August 7th is always so hard for me as I await my day. This year….. instead of crying I want to do things differently. If you share an August 7th birthday with my grandfather, please comment your name below.

Tomorrow afternoon once I have plenty of names, I will randomly draw one via online system. If your name is drawn, you can choose between $50 cashapp or a cake OR $50 food gift card to be sent to you electronically/doordash!

GOD BLESS! Comment comment!

WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW!

Candles

Very random one,

Does anyone have any recommendations for a cheapish candle?

Open to scents just wanting to have a look 😂

How do I know if I’m in labor?

I feel like this is a dumb question but fr how do you know without the obvious signs?

A few days ago I got up to pee around 4am and felt a VERY intense pelvic pressure. It kinda hurt and the best way I can describe it was like period cramps? Happened again at 8am then 10am that same day (I think it was Monday)

I had a dr’s appointment yesterday and when I asked, I was told “I could be feeling the real thing and not Braxton Hicks”. Haven’t felt it since then until about bit ago. At 9:45pm and then 9:55pm (it’s currently 10:15pm)

No other obvious signs, no leaking, bleeding. Baby is moving and active.
I do feel kinda the urge to go the bathroom? 🫣 I’m 35+4 due Sept 6

Help 😅

C section

How many of you are scheduled an elective c section and this is your second time having a c section? I’m absolutely terrified this time round.

We’re getting better at narrowing our options!

1)Ansley (my top pick)
2)Hannah
3)Everly (both tied)
4)Alyssa (his top pick)

Other ideas but we’re still not sure on.
1)Lucy
2)Mila
3)Layla

No morning sickness???

I’m week 7 now and still yet to experience any substantial nausea or sickness! I had 3 waves of nausea during the implantation phase but when I mean waves I mean very much a few minutes of “ooh do I feel a bit sick?” And before I could decide yes or no it had passed. Anyone else not experiencing any nausea or morning sickness? It’s making me a bit worried! 😅

I have fatigue and insomnia, sore boobs and increased hunger, plus increased heart rate… I’m not wishing for morning sickness at all, just want to know my pregnancy is normal. 😂
