Cailean for a Boy name

My son is 18 months old and we love his name, we are not Scottish but the meaning of his name is very special to me. We’re saying it in an English way so it’s “Kay-lan” but I’m having comments about how it’s girly.

I’m sad that he might run into bullying bc I didn’t think it would be girly.

Strong movements

Don’t get me wrong, I love how active my baby is. But I can’t be the only one who feels a bit sick sometimes or it takes my breath away how strong some of her movements are?!🥴🤣

She just did such a big roll / or elbowed me, I don’t even know, but it made me feel so nauseous🫣

Bump dropping

Hi! Im 33+5 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My bump seems to have dropped today, I had my antenatal appointment yesterday and baby wasnt engaged.
Im just wondering when everyone's dropped and if this is too early? Should I be contacting the midwives? Im not in pain other than lightening crotch evey now and again, and baby moving like normal.

Thank you xx

Where are your 4mo at?!

What are your 4 month olds doing developmentally & how are their motor skills?? My little man turned 4mo on the 7th & he has really good head control when being held & lifts his trunk pretty good during tummy time. He isn’t quite sitting yet but he can stay stable for a few secs-mins until he topples over or starts to slouch. He starting to kick during tummy time & when provided he pushes off of my hand or my leg or really anything lol. I’ve seen so many 4mo olds start to kind of scoot (almost crawl) etc. I wanna know where yall are at! 😊

Natural birth or C-section?

Hi, I am due my first baby in October and my partner and family are advising me to have a C-section. As they say it’s less painful etc. But I would prefer a natural birth and wouldn’t want to go through recovery after the C-section. I had an ovarian cyst removed at 14 weeks, along with my ovary and fallopian tube. It took me weeks to recover from this and worry the recovery for C-section would be the same. Does anyone have any advice please? Would you have a C-section or opt for natural birth?

How many ultrasounds are we having?

I've been comparing notes with several of my friends, and it seems there is *no* consensus for how many ultrasounds your doctor orders during pregnancy. One of my friends only had 3. I've already had 5 at 31 weeks and have 4 more scheduled. I'm trying to figure out if this is an doctor by doctor thing, or if it's because I'm seeing an MFM (due to chronic illness stuff; I've had zero complications with the pregnancy itself.)

So... How many are you scheduled to have?
