👣 Due Late Nov/Early Dec it's bump time! 👣

[ChampooPapi]

Thread three 🙌

I have lists for both (haven't shown DH yet!) We're going fairly traditional probably, but hopefully find something either for a middle name or first name that's not too frequently used. Am planning on two middle names, I want to use up all the names I like as we probably won't be able to have a second child!

@Pinktruffle same here. Dh and I are both teachers so lots of names end up being vetoed because you associate them with naughty children

I had lily & Isabelle for a girl, my stepson suggested Clementine which was growing on me & her middle name would have been Rose after my nan. We have been told were having a boy though & I literally don't like a single boys name yet. DH loves Sterling (after sterling moss, F1 driver), I hate it, I'm not naming him after something that is also a cigarette brand!!

I went to next today & went a little crazy, the winter items are on sale & were only £3 an outfit, absolute bargain. Got some matchy, matchy, sleepsuits, vests, hats & vests & a gorgeous little bro sleepsuit, which will probably be his coming home outfit

I haven't thought of any names yet only 14 weeks 1 day so still in that take each day as it comes stage but my kids names are frankie ruby and blaine my oh likes Lennie if it's a boy and he hasn't thought for a girl coz he he so sure it's a boy

So far I've only got one girls name and no boys so fingers crossed for team pink in two weeks. Only name is Sienna Rose as Sienna is similar to my dads name

Has anyone else started getting spd pain? I had it quite bad last pregnancy though not enough to need crutches etc. Can already feel the beginnings of it right at the front and I’m 16+4 😢 I’m still managing to sleep on my tummy due to lots of ‘padding’ but the dreaded side sleeping is going to have to start all !

*soon Not all

That was supposed to say!

@kodiak83 yes I've had it since 14 weeks or the start of it and have been going to physio and doing exercises I'm trying to minimise how much I do so that I don't make it worse. First time pregnant so don't know what to expect

@Kodiak83 sorry you're suffering. I don't know if I have it but I feel uncomfortable walking too long, standing too long, find it difficult to sleep etc. I've got terrible back ache already but not really any bump. I've been putting it all down to round ligament pain though.

Loving these names! Can I shout out Ivy, I love that name (Ive's as a nickname 😍)

Love Luna and Talula, Bruce Willis has a Talula and I've always really like it

Charlie 💗

We are doing my partners gran and my mums grandmother for the girls I think, so Jean for one and Violet-May (potench no hyphen but it was her actual name so not sure)

So many perfect names so far on here for both baby boys and girls, and adult men and women when they grow. They will be proud to hold any of the names you guys have listed so far.

Sienna is gorgeous! Savannah is also a good one.

Anyone thought of Delilah? I thought that was a sweet name

@roro87 I have a sienna rose and we always get complimented on her name ❤️ and she has a really sweet nature xx

@kkr168 yes Rose is a classic beautiful name, clementine was what I was supposed to be called so obviously I concur on its cuteness, I'm a fan of the name Cressida too so in the same vein as Clementine.

I know your having a boy and he is going to be so brilliant and beautiful too so you could go rogue and pick something in the theme of your girls choices, a softer more 'feminine' name. I personally always loved Eden for a boy but it is a bit different.

And you are right, not Stirling, not for this one, I think it's really important for you to put your foot down there. It's not a bad name or anything but you had your heart set on softer classical names for a little girl so you could really explore this for him too

I’ve got a few girls names that I like but no boys names (which probably means we’re having a boy! 😂). I like Zara, Darcy and two Scottish names Lexi and Mhairi (pronounced Vari) it’s Gaelic. It’s so hard to choose! We won’t find out until 12th July, we’ve booked a private scan so we can find out together, even tho my 20 week scan is the 1st July and I could find out then but will wait until 12th.

Seems like a lot of us are struggling with boys’ names!!! I have a feeling I’m having a boy too no idea why, won’t be finding out until the birth so best get thinking of some names in case!

I'm not planning to go in with a set name this time, just a list of potential names & decide once the baby's arrived! With our son we were set on Cameron but once he was born we both agreed the name didn't suit him & change it to Jack. Alot of his baby cards say congratulations on the arrival of baby Cameron!!

Why are boys names so hard! I have a set girls name so you can guarantee it's a boy 🤣

We’re completely opposite. We have two/ three firm favourites for boys but can’t agree on any girls and we think we maybe having a girl.

We’re not finding out the gender, so hoping to have a top three for boy and girl.

We love Felix for a boy, but a family member has pipped us to the post with it.

@roro87 @Kodiak83 what are the symptoms? I have hypermobility and conscious I am a prime suspect for it; I keep waking up with numb hips and wondered if that might be the onset?

@pipted my symptoms are pains between the joints of my legs when walking or bending etc. the pain gets so bad I can't move and basically feels like my pelvis is falling out. also lower back pain. I'm very stiff if I do too much also. I really hope it doesn't get much worse

We have a whole list of about 6 boys names and only one girls name we are set on! We are finding out on Sunday what we are having, going to be emotional and super exciting too. Booked it for Father's Day as it's my husbands first Father's Day as a dad but sadly without our son so wanted to do something to give him a little lift💙 or at least try to anyway! So many announcements coming up this week, so exciting🤗

Has anyone had they're appointment booked in for their 20 week scan yet or am I being too eager here? Got a letter through for a telephone consultation with the midwife at the end of this month but by then I'll be due my scan

It's my birthday next week. Do you think it would be weird to ask for a really nice changing bag?
Like this one www.johnlewis.com/pacapod-saunton-changing-backpack-tan/p3751057

@roro87 oh no, it sounds like you are struggling. I hope it doesn’t get much worse for you too!

@Dee96 Give the hospitals ultrasound department a ring, my appointment letter was lost in the post but they confirmed the date/time over the phone

@chubbyhotchoc that bag is gorgeous

I have a history of a fairly serious back problem (in fact, I was pretty stressed at the start of the pregnancy because we'd delayed TTC until my back was doing well with access to gym, swimming pool and physio, and then of course lockdown happened!) So I'm feeling very proactive about trying to manage back and hip pain.

Hospital physio has rung me twice, given me exercises and advice, and told me to ring them anytime at all if I need anything. I really recommend getting in touch with them if you can as my experience has been great. I think some private physios in England might now be open for face to face if you have the money - my experience has been that it's worth it, but as I say I have had quite a serious problem in the past.

I'd also recommend a book called Pilates for Pregnancy, it's got guidelines, exercises and set work outs for different stages. I've found it really useful.

And I've been managing some sea and lake swimming, which really helps me, but your mileage may vary on that one (I discussed with physio and midwife and they agreed risks to me from not swimming were greater than risks from swimming, but I have quite a bit of experience outdoor swimming, and have safe places to do it.)
