lol nope

i love it! i had it on my list for boys!

Chester & Rafe is really cute. I know a Rafferty who goes by Rafe but I think it works well as Rafe.

Rafe is very cute I think it’s quite original and not common!

Yes it's a very normal but not common name where I am.

I finished the latest season of outer banks last night and was thinking about how much I like the name Rafe!! Definitely could be unisex too. I love it! Sounds uncommon but not like super new and made up.

Also love the name Chester, considered it for our son but we live just outside of Chester 🤣 so felt a little too on the nose x

Love Rafe! I loved it since pearl harbour!

yes! i love Rafe! 💙

Yes I really like Rafe!

I love it. They have a character on sullivans crossing named rafe.

Line eyes or not?

Obviously going to retest tomorrow morning but, do I have line eyes or is there actually something there??

C-section insecurity

Just wondering if anyone has any advice?

I'm 14 weeks postpartum after an emergency C-section and struggling to not hate my body. My scar is wonky and has a kink in it, I have the C-section shelf which is massively messing with my suspected long term body dysmorphia and I overdid it on the exercise which has made my belly more swollen than it has been. I avoid looking in mirrors because of all of this.

I want to exercise to like my body again but don't know how to do it without making it worse? Has anyone else struggled like this that wouldn't mind talking about how they dealt with it to love themselves again?

Has anyone done the window curtain for their elective? What was it like?

The consultant I was speaking with last Wednesday (when I thought I wanted a VBAC), put in my notes that I wanted a window curtain for my elective. Just wondering about everyone's experience with that if you had one? I know it won't gory or anything like that because it still blocks the icky parts lol, but just curious 😊

C section tomorrow!

Hey ladies I have my c section booked in Aberdeen for tomorrow and I’ve completely forgot where I have to go in the morning, it’s only my 2nd time in that hospital, any advice would be great as my midwife isn’t answering her phone thank you xxx

21st may

First time trying this but the thought came to my mind this morning/ night when the little one wouldn’t go down but thought I’d give this a try

Any little ones born the same day as mine and got birthday pals 😂
