Love the name :)
Mine will also be oliver but with henry james as middle names
 
Love the names! And jealous that you have already decided! :haha: Really struggling to find a boys name that we both love. DH has a HUGE extended family & they all have great names so I end up suggesting names but DH says no because he inevitably has a cousin with the same name!!
 
We're really struggling with boys names too, every name I suggest DH says he either knows someone called it or it reminds him of someone.....argh its so frustrating! I did explain that as soon as we do pick a name for our son, he will be who we associate it with and everything else will be forgotten, I think he may now be considering names in a new light thank god! We've picked out the middle name, Denis, after my grandad who passed away a few years ago. So at least he has part of a name! :haha:
 
We had a boys name picked before we knew if he was a he or she that is the reason I thought we were having a boy 28th our girls we only had girl names picked out :)
 
Argh, I feel huge, and not bump wise, just fat! :cry: I've gained about 1 and a half stone already and it's making me sad. I'm so puffy and bloated too which doesn't help. Also, I have a desk job and by the end of the day my skin feels numb under my bra and alsmost like I have cramp there. I guess it's time I go and get measured properly. I've been using the bra extenders but I think I've outgrown these now.

Sorry for the rant ladies, just needed to vent!x
 
Babylove100 - It's lovely that your grandad will be remembered in your sons name. We lost our first little boy & named him after both my grandad & DHs grandad. And I hear ya on the weight! I'm wearing a top today that used to fit. It is quite a short top but it would normally reach my waist - now it's like a crop top! :haha: :blush:
 
Vent...

Today I went to my appointment and they were not happy that i have not had my scan yet and that it wasn't scheduled for this appointment when the doctor last time said she would wait until after my next appointment (this group of docs suck at communicating) so then they tell me I have to make an appointment in the next 1-2 weeks my husband is in school 40+ hours a week on top of working and I'm not going to let him miss out on this ultrasound they didnt have any opening st or next week and the following week the times didnt work for having someone to watch my babies so now I won't get my scan until I'm 23 weeks the doctor isn't happy and I'm frusterated because if something is wrong it won't be known until even later :/
 
Nice names ladies.

I find it hard to pick boys names trying to find ones we like that haven’t already been used by friends/family is challenging!

tgrich - how annoying, sorry you will have to wait for the scan.
 
I'm jealous of all of you who have names picked already! We have no idea. We had a few suggestions for a boy but completely lost now with girls' names. DD had her name at this point, but DH picked it as it was a name he always wanted for a girl. He said I can choose this one but I have no idea.

I'm also putting on the weight now and feel huge. My thighs have grown along with everything else, and I keep getting cheap bras from primark every few weeks when I outgrow the old ones. Not feeling attractive at all these days, but at least I'm looking pregnant now rather than just huge, although in my winter coat I still just look fat as it's getting a bit snug now.
 
Hey all, sorry I've been MIA again.

I too am totally lost on names! I have plenty of girl names I love, but...we're having a boy lol! I want to give him OH's first name and my middle name (Rea, it's also my dad's middle name & he was named after his dad's friend named Reagan), but OH is not sold on this.

So just went to the dr Wednesday and baby's heartbeat was fine. I've been having some spotting after intercourse, which I know is usually totally normal. But this morning after we did it there was much more (bright red), a little pain, and it lasted longer (about 4 hours but has gone now). I'm freaking myself out thinking I have light cramping, but if I do it's super light (although I didn't feel my first contractions in labor with DD, so, hmmm). I called the DR on call for my OB/GYN, which was unfortunately not my actual DR, but he reassured me that it's probably fine and just rest and drink plenty of fluids, and come to the hospital if either the bleeding or cramping gets worse. I'm concerned about placenta previa or something, but my anatomy scan isn't until Tuesday! Eek! I really don't want to run the hospital if it's nothing, which it likely is just my cervix irritated. I'm just freaking myself out because I never had even a spot of blood with DD, and woke up feeling off from having nightmares that woke me up crying.

Anyone have any 2nd trimester bleeding like this with this or a previous pregnancy?

Thanks ladies. Hope everyone is doing great!

Try not to be upset, I gained almost 80 pounds with DD, which would be over 5 stones. With how far along you are it sounds like you're on target, since you're recommended up to 35 pounds, and gains can slow in the third trimester. That being said, I feel like I am just looking fat & not pregnant too, so commiseration :hugs:

That sucks about your bra! That's why I don't wear one :p I just wear tight undershirts when I go out. Can you try a big sports bra maybe? I find those are a bit softer. I guess I'll kinda have to re-introduce myself to bras soon before these puppies fly off the leash, lol.
 
Ah thank you, I'm feeling better about things now, Dh has been a sweetie and keeps telling me I'm not fat I'm cooking a baby!!! Bless him.

I bought the most amazing bra today! It's a post surgery bra so not wired and it's lightly padded! Wow it's like I'm not wearing one! Bra heaven!!!!!
 
In regards to the spotting mine was mostly done by the first trimester but I have a SCH. No lifting over 15 lbs, no sex and no exercise and it hasn't grown since.
Yesterday was a first for me. My underwear got wet while I was at work :( looks like I may have to start wearing a liner. I'm pretty sure it was discharge.
Also my gd test came back fine must have been a fluke thing.
 
I can relate about feeling fat! I'm starting to truly look pregnant now, but its really rough when none of your clothes fit right, but maternity clothes are still a kinda big. I know for sure my butt has gotten bigger, lol!
 
dimmu - I'm the complete opposite! We have our girls name picked out for years but I'm really struggling to come up with a boys name! I was just putting DS down for his nap when I thought of a name that I loved (Séan) but then remembered that DH has a cousin called Séan so he won't approve it :dohh:

I'm starting to look pregnant too :happydance: We pulled out all the clothes we had in storage this weekend (all DS clothes that he has outgrown) plus my maternity clothes! Not a moment too soon! :haha: I've washed most of them & they're drying on the line now. I'm weirdly excited about this. Plus we sorted through all the baby clothes & everything is now sorted by size ready for baby #2. If this baby is a boy we are set!

Carlinator - Is it the middle name that your OH isn't set on? DH wasn't set on DS middle name either but was so overcome after the birth that he just agreed with me! So maybe just bide your time! :blush::haha:

I'm afraid I have no advice about the spotting. I have had spotting with each pregnancy but not in the second trimester. How are you feeling now? If you're in doubt at all I'd call :hugs:

Cowgirl07 - That happens with me too all the time! And I keep forgetting to wear liners until it's too late. It's so gross! The joys, eh?

AFM - Not a huge amount to report really. I was getting into the bath last night & DH did a double take because my bump is getting so noticeable now! I can't believe we have our anatomy scan in a week & a day! It seemed so far away when it was booked & now it's next week! DH started a new job today so I can't wait to hear if he can have the day off for it or not. Fingers crossed he can be there.
 
Good luck to all the ladies getting scans this week! I remember there were a good few of us! T-minus 2 days until mine! :happydance:
