We’re really going round the houses trying to hone in on our favourite names and just can’t pinpoint one.
I wonder if we’re overthinking it… how is everyone else going about choosing names?
We’re thinking of things like just instinct, meaning, how rare or popular a name is and whether that matters, how it sounds with the surname, whether we choose a name that’s linked to our different cultural backgrounds or not at all…
Definitely need some help to simplify how we’re going about picking 😵💫😵💫

We eventually went down just a list of names reading them out one by one until we settled on 4 names (we’re having twins and don’t know gender) it was insane but a pretty fun way to spend a couple of hours

Chat gpt for everything 😆

We made a list each and read them out to eachother, and also checked their initials!! (making sure they are appropriate 😂)

This showed up in my feed, so I’ll answer. Long story short, my son’s first & middle name are after my (deceased) father & my husband’s grandfathers. My daughter’s middle name is after my (deceased) mother’s first name, but her first name is Biblical like my son’s name & one I’ve always loved. Do you have any relatives or friends you’d want to name your baby after?

I second the chat GPT for everything comment 😂😂😂😂 We have a little girl already and we are expecting a boy this time, so I've literally described the sort of name and length we would like and asked what goes nicely with X name....and it's come up with some really nice names haha !!
I'm 4 weeks postpartum... Wtf is this???

Im due in October, my 9 year old wants to be in the delivery room. I think it would be so special and of course I'd love her there. Im just curious on how to navigate, how to prep her, or if its even a good idea at all. My daughter's daddy passed in 2021, and the father of this baby unfortunately will not be making it to the birth, so it'll be my mom and best friend. And we shall see about my girl. Any advice, tips or words of encouragement are greatly appreciated 🤍

Has any one else experienced really bad pressure/ hemorroids, I’m 37 weeks today and had such loose bowel movements but today it’s got 10x worse I was screaming with pain. I had to run to the bathroom and it felt like the babies head was ready to come out with the pressure I was having (literally felt like ring of fire) how do I know if it’s just hemorroids or early labour pressure as I’ve been told by my midwife his head is engaged 😩😩 sooo painful.

I’m 38+2 and have been experiencing some cramping and quite intense contractions. The first time it happened was at 37+5, and I honestly thought I was going into labour, so I called triage. I was advised to take some paracetamol and monitor how things went on.
It happened again recently, but this time I didn’t call. The cramps and contractions were really intense and lasted for about two hours.
Just wondering if anyone else has/had experienced anything similar?

I just found out I was 4weeks pregnant a week ago but I have been having brown discharge/spotting ever since , it’s mostly when I go to wipe when am peeing in the toilet. I called the EPU and they told me to monitor and give them a call in the event there is any changes. Anyone else who has experienced this ? It’s my first pregnancy?
