Levi or?

We have a Violet and we’re planning another baby. We agree on Levi for a boy, but I don’t really know what I like for a girl. I like strong vowel sounds, florals or floral adjacent, and classic but uncommon names. Our last name starts with S so that makes names ending in the S sound (like Alice or Iris) sound awful. Must be 2 syllables! Any suggestions?

6 week check post partum

I’m now 8 weeks 3 days post partum and my baby had her 6-8 week check today but I haven’t had any follow up check like I’ve heard other people have at 6 weeks… am I supposed to make the appointment myself? I last saw my midwife at around 5 days post partum and the health visitor last came out at around 6 weeks.

I thought that I’d have my check at the same time as my baby at the doctors but they only checked her so I’m not sure what to do.

I’m a little scared

So apparently my baby boy is definitely bigger than normal and I’m short. It’s recommended I do a C Section for the health of my baby and for me as well. I’m definitely going to go through with it bc it’s safer for the both of us but I’m honestly incredibly scared. I have mad respect for mothers who went through a C Section it’s a fear of mine to be awake while I’m being cut open. Anyone have any advice to prep or in general to ease anxiety at all.

Plus size scan!

Anyone else who is plus size worried about not being able to have a normal on the belly ultrasound or if you have had your scan how did they go about it if they couldn’t do it that way?

C section recovery

Is a wedge pillow and shower chair absolutely necessary post c section? Well it have a major impact on help? I’m running low on all these recovery things and things for the twins but if recovery is that painful i’d like to know and i’ll spend on it anyway 😭😭
