Do you care if your baby names are trendy amd not unique?

I have always loved nature based names, but now I'm finally about to become a mum, my chosen names are becoming so popular!

Here are my top names, but we are also considering them for first and middle names.

I’ve got a Reign, he’s 7 & we’ve only ever met a couple of other Reign’s, not many at all. He’s had lots of compliments on his name 🩵

I’ve got a Blake, unpopular enough that there won’t be loads in his class but equally not so unpopular that it’s too out there!
I prefer an uncommon name because there was like 4 Beth’s in my year at school and we were always compared🥲

I like a balance of being traditional but not too common.
I'd avoid trendy names, but don't mind unusual ones.
Nature names are lovely but there's some names I love but wouldn't use. I've always loved Forest, Willow and Robin but my kids last name is Wood so nature names often come out sounding a bit much 😂.

Constant contractions but no dilation progress

Im so miserable....
Im 38+4 and have had constant contractions since Wednesday evening , so about 45 hours now but im still only 2 cm dilated. I actually have a very high pain tolerance as I have multipul conditions that cause pain so basically have to be able to function through pain daily. But this has been horrendous

I went into MAC really early hours of thursday morning because my contractions were every 3 mins and really painful. But after monitoring and checking, only 2cm they sent me home. Contractions carried on getting icreasing painful they dying off so they were not just as strong for a little while before ramping up again.
Saw my regular midwife on friday, who checked again. Still 2 cm but she managed to do a sweep.

Everything continued contractions wise. Paracetamol wasn't touching the pain at all. Then got back to every 4 mins but so painful I couldn't talk through them. So again back to hospital, they did checks still 2cm. Stayed 10 hours! And again still 2cm. Im loosing alot of mucus but cervics just isn't changing.

So I was discharged with codeine and the plan that I'll be on the induction list by monday if baby still hasn't arrived.

Im absolutely fucking miserable now. Before all this I'd had 3 weeks of braxton hicks like clockwork every evening lasting about 5 hours a day.

When I had my daughter 4 years ago Everything just progressed fairly quickly and I was only in labour just under 30 hours start to finish with only a small amount of gas and air. Everything is so stop start its exhausting. My back pain is just chronic and nothing is touching it at all. I really didn't want a induction but physically and mentally im abousutly broken now....

My daughter only knows mummy's feeling poorly, and insisted on giving me her lovey heart on Wednesday, since tgen shes insisted I keep it in my hand if I put it down even just to eat and she sees she walks over and puts it back in my hand. She got very upset having to leave me today when I went to hospital and I offered her it back to hold she insisted I keep it in my hand. 😭

Seeking reassurance - pregnant after c-section

Hello,
I think i'm pregnant. I have missed a period and a faint line on pregnancy test. I'm going to take another test and get an early scan etc to be sure.

The issue is that I am 7months post c-section. This was not planned and I feel so bad. If i am pregnant, i dont want to lose this baby and i'm so terrified of the risks involved with getting pregnant so soon after c-section.

Is there anyone who can share a positive story where they got pregnant after c-section and all was ok? I'm so scared. 😢

c-section pooch

i’ve been seeing a lot of post about this saying diet and some sort of exercise will help. granted I am fairly young (23) have only had three kids in the last three years last 2 being cesareans when i say diet and exercise WILL NOT help i mean it. it is skin and fluid lymphatic massages are one of the only way to help decrease the pouch I have zero pouch and a flat stomach. I am four months postpartum w my 3rd baby and second C-section. i rlly Hope this helps on struggling that is maybe almost starving themselves trying to get it to go away.🩷(photo for proof?)

Help

I need to know if this is normal or something to worry about - I had a normal birth yesterday morning and keep finding myself wetting myself without being able to stop… like I’ve lost control of my bladder. Everything’s very sensitive down there, is this a little normal?
