April looks exciting for you!

DH will have to be gone for most of the month, so he won't be here for the first appointment or at the house afterwards so he's kind of upset, but I've heard the first one is long and kind of boring, so I told him not to feel so bad and I can send him a picture of the ultrasound, lol. He was happy with that..

We will be going for Oliver or James for a boy and still discussing girls but like Tanya at the moment.
Feeling really sick today and got sprung an assessment at work which was a bit of a shock (they just observe my class and talk to the mums etc) but it made me so nervous which didn't help my nausea!

 

[Heartmom]

This thread is so fast! Awesome!

the names we have are for a boy- Jacob and if it's a girl- Isabella "bella".

Also I wonder if the magnesium actually does work for MS! So far I feel great, but I already take magnesium supplements daily because I suffer from migraines.

Hoping it's true, I def didn't have any morning sickness last time I was pregnant!

 

[catmummyof4]

Loving all th name suggestions glad im not th only one thinking about it. X

 

[beneathmywing]

I don't know if I can keep up with this thread! hha

For a boy DH and I want to name it after him, Salvatore. For a girl we like Michela. We are real Italian, as you can see by our name choices lol



Heartmom- I love Isabella. That's my niece's name.

 

[Twag]

We are going for Isabella for a girl or Izzy for short

Tanya is a great name (biased here tho)

My Son has 2 middle names William which carries down the male side of my family on my Dad's side and Paul which is FIL's name and DH's middle name

I had a fifty shades baby on the last rush, when the book came out, and on an Easter bank holiday. I've never read it or seen the film but every medical person I saw asked me if I'd been reading it. Names wise I like Hannah or Abigail for a girl but have no clue on boys names. We have a lot of rules off choosing names in our house. My son is a Daniel. Pain relief wise my only options are paracetamol or epidural. I'm allergic to gas and air and sensitive to anything containing opiates. Fingers crossed for a short labour! Not the 24 hours between 2 and 10 I had last time. Saw midwife this morning, was ok. Provided me with more bounty junk.

Glad you had a good midwife appointment Mrs Bump

Just read back a few pages, loving all the names. I'm another one who likes a family connection. Both my family and hubby's family give the firstborn son their dad's first name as middle name, so that was easy, and my son's first name is Henry, which was my paternal grandfather's first name (and therefore my dad's middle name). We already have a girl's name, Esther Maria - Esther was my grandma, and Maria is mine and my mum's middle name.

Boy names are harder this time - I'd like Eric after my maternal (favourite!) grandfather, but hubby has only agreed to it as a middle name - but then Henry was a middle name too until they were stitching me up and hubby gazed down at him and said he looked more like a Henry than a Joseph, so there's hope!

I don't work Mon/Tue and I'm dreading going to work tomorrow - I could not get comfortable in my chair at my desk last week - every day the problem was different though, tailbone, lower back, upper back... I had a lot of pelvic pain with Henry later on in pregnancy so I'm hoping that's not on the way back!

Chloe - you could watch The Hunger Games with Matt - there's a really irritating character called Effie and you could say you'd think of her with that name? lol

If this pregnancy is anything like the last one, we won't even start thinking about names until we know the gender.

Named wise a girl would be Eliza May, mil middle is Elizabeth and mum Mary so that works well for me!
Boys we don't know, I have a list of about six I like a lot, but can't quite put my finger on! That includes Jenson, Ashton, Greyson, Spencer and Jasper. I like them all, but just not sure!

 

[penelopejones]

I love obsessing about names, so this is great! MommyB - I love Francesca and Matteo!

With DD we could not agree on any names except Penelope. I suggested it almost as a joke after DH had vetoed all my selections (and vice versa), but he liked it because we'd been calling her Peapod so it seemed to fit. She has my middle name, which came from a great aunt. We didn't finalize it until a few hours after she was born.

For this one we will likely have the same problem. DH likes currently popular names (Sophia, Brianna, Ariana, etc.) and I like classic names (Helena, Beatrice, etc for girls or Theodore, Franklin, Benedict for boys). For a boy he likes ordinary names like John.

It is so tough! We will probably wait until the last minute again.

AFM I'm having no symptoms yet, except some very mild cramping now and then. But I figure I'm still very early (probably only 4 weeks although LMP was February 8). I had very few symptoms with my DD, except for fatigue and some queasiness (never threw up).

I labored in the water with DD and it felt good, except there was no way for DH to be nearby, so I got out. I wish I would have stayed in!

I did a hypnobirthing class last time and found the CDs very relaxing. I had the best naps ever after listening to those and usually fell asleep to them at night. I wasn't able to implement the techniques during delivery though, so this time I think I'm going to look for a doula who does hypnobirthing. I did wake up the morning of DD's birth with contractions 5 minutes apart, after having NOTHING before that. I got to the midwife and was 8-9 centimeters dilated! I walked in the hospital already transitioning. It still took a while for DD to come out but the early labor was easy peasy. My sister had the same experience with the hypnosis CDs--cuts down on early labor.

Hello new ladies! I think I have everyone so far. But if I missed you, put you down on the wrong day, misspelled your name, missed that you are team etc. just let me know

For names I want Elena or Ella for a girl, DH wants Jennifer or Jenna. For boy not as sure but top of our list is Owen and Aiden.

I'm hoping for VBAC, though not sure if I'm a candidate. Will ask at my appt. On the 31st. Have no idea what my options will be since they diagnosed me with pre-eclampsia. I had a mild episode of higher BP during the pregnancy. But was fine before and after during the pregnany. Then went into labor and it skyrocketed. bought a BP cuff this time to track it myself. I'm also A LOT healthier now then I was, so hopefully no BP issues and a vaginal birth

Thank you for adding me to the first page! I'm going with November 27th ish for my due date, my cycles are a bit erratic so it's hard to tell but that's from my calculations. Sooooo looking forward to having a newborn for Christmas. I bought my one yr old a beautiful new baby outfit but he didn't get to wear it as he was two weeks overdue!!
I got my digi today so it's feeling more official. Looking forward to getting to know you all!
