In need of a boy name!!!

Hey guys! I really need some inspo on names for a baby boy. I am using Christopher as the middle name in honor of my late dad.

I have a daughter by the name of Lillie.

Names I currently like:

Oliver, Oakley

My partner really likes Riley but it’s a bit of a put off because there’s a pornstar with the same last name if we choose the name Riley.

Let’s throw some names out there for a mamma in need of names…Ty!

Triage or not?

37+5 today and I've had a persistent headache since yesterday. It's not too bad when I'm upright but if I bend over/sneeze/cough I get a sharp pain across the left side of my head. Obviously the main concern is preeclampsia but I've been checking my blood pressure throughout the day and it's normal. I also seen my midwife last week and had no protein in my urine.

I feel silly ringing triage because I wouldn't say the headache is severe but at the same time it hasn't gone away with paracetamol and has lasted around 24 hours now. I've had heartburn/reflux the last couple of days and I'm getting random pains across my abdomen which aren't contractions as they're not increasing in intensity or frequency.

Any advice please?

TMI (Sorry)

Sorry this is a bit TMI but ever since my first period after giving birth in January 2026, my perineum aches during my period. It aches so much but goes away after painkillers.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal?

Any guess guys just for fun.

I’ll try add the 19 week bump pic in comments aswell. Baby is 13 weeks in the scan picture.

I will share baby’s gender after the 25th October after we had a gender reveal

Head preference

I’ve noticed that my baby tends to fall asleep facing his right, and prefers this when playing on the floor too. If I try and put down to sleep facing the left then he’ll just move his head to the right.

Also when facing the right he can put his cheek pressed all the way down, and for the moments I’ve got him to look left I’ve noticed he can’t press his cheek all the way down, so something isn’t right.

I’ve got pics of him facing the left as a newborn just fine so think it’s a recent thing within the last 2 months.

Assuming I should get referred to someone for this, who to see and where to start? Could my health visitor do this or would I need to go private? Thank you!
