Help!!!

Mommas, I need your help! 🥹💗

I’m looking for beautiful baby girl names that start with E for my rainbow baby, and I’m struggling to find the one.

I have three children; two living; & honestly, with my other children, I chose their names simply because I absolutely LOVED the names. 😂❤️ I didn’t even know what their names meant when I picked them!

My children are Aiden, Essence, and Autumn. My sweet Autumn is my baby who passed away. 🤍🦋

Now that I’m expecting my rainbow baby, I’ve been thinking about names so much differently. Since Aiden and Autumn have A names and Essence is my only child with an E name, I feel almost obligated to continue with an E name for my rainbow baby. 😂

But this time, I really want her name to have a beautiful meaning. She is my rainbow baby, and after everything our family has been through, I want her name to represent something special; hope, light, blessing, miracle, strength, love, joy, new beginnings, or overcoming. 🌈✨

I want a name that I can look at years from now and think, “Yes. That name was meant for her.” 🥹

So please help a mama out! Drop your favorite E girl names AND their meanings below. I’m open to unique, uncommon, elegant, soft, strong, biblical, cultural; anything!

Give me ALL the E names! 💕🌈

Belly Button

Hi all,

Little ones cord fell off last night, today it looks like she has a little stump. Does anyone know what this could be?

Midwife is due to come out tomorrow so will ask her but intrigued in the meantime to see what you all think

is anyone in the same boat as me? 😭🩷

Is anyone else in a similar situation and just absolutely winging it at this point? 😭😂

I have an 8½ month old who has decided that sleep is completely optional. She barely naps during the day and is waking constantly through the night, sometimes staying awake for hours. She’s absolutely exhausted but will fight sleep with everything in her tiny body 😭 I’m trying everything and honestly I’m at the point where I don’t even know what to do anymore.

On top of that, I’ve got quite a few health issues that have been really kicking my arse lately and making it difficult to function normally. And now I’m pregnant again on top of all of it 🥲 I’m exhausted, constantly struggling to keep up with everything, and some days I genuinely feel like I’m barely keeping my head above water.

I love my wee girl more than anything and I know this is just a season, but I’m so physically and mentally drained. I feel like I’m constantly trying to look after everyone while having absolutely nothing left in the tank myself.

I know there probably isn’t a magic answer or much advice anyone can give, but I think I’d feel so much better just knowing I’m not the only one in this boat. ❤️

Are there any other mums who are dealing with awful sleep, pregnancy, health problems, or just generally feeling like they’re struggling to function? How are you coping? 😭

Can dads stay overnight?

I’m having a c section next week and am hoping dad can stay overnight with me. My last baby was in 2022 so it was still a bit ‘covidy’ and he could only stay with me during visitor hours. It was a nightmare as I was in so much pain and could barely move to get to my baby and when I pressed the button for a midwife it took over half an hour for someone to come. I am giving birth at the JR Oxford.

Big baby

Hi everyone I'm 35 weeks and baby girl is measuring 5 pounds 13 oz. aparenetly thats big for a 35 weeker ive been referred to a constant my mum has said it may mean that I'm gonna get induced (they measured her belly and they said gosh wow that's big and it's made me quite worried)

Postpartum period - tmi

I had a c section 6 weeks ago Monday and am bottle feeding. All bleeding had stopped, just had pads for some small mucus discharge.
I got my period back at 5 weeks and 6 days.
Now I’m debating if it is a period. I’m 5 days in and it is shocking - it’s so heavy I’m wearing night pads in the day and postpartum pants overnight. Doesn’t appear to be letting up.
Has anyone else had this?
I was silly and googled, half responses are that it’s normal to have a heavy period and other half mentions postpartum haemorrhage 😭
I don’t want to go the the Gp as they’ll ask me to go to the hospital which is an hour away and I have no support for my 3 year old and 6 week old
