Girls I need your help!
Let's talk boys names

We want something a bit different but not wacky, I want him to go to school and his name be different and not the same as about 5 other boys in his class!

These are the names we like so far:

Tyler - This has been a name we like long before getting pregnant but it has become far to popular recently so I don't think we will be using it!
Tristan - We like this one quite a lot but not many people do.

His middle name will be Jordan as that is my middle name and our surname begins with a P so needs to go well with that too

oh, i am no good with boys names, we found picking a boys name really difficult as there was very very like we liked let alone loved!

hope you find something soon

[Agiboma]

[laura6914]

girls remember a few weeks ago i was in hospital as thought i was having contraction, well i have had them twice since. and last night i had them again. well its more in my back and hips. the pain is soooo bad, last half an hour and lst night the pain went down my legs. I cant get in the Drs today as they are closed and last time i went hospital they had no idea what was causing it. Any ideas?????

[Agiboma]

are you sure its not round ligament pain

 

[laura6914]

definitly not that hun. I have had that quite a bit and its bearable but this pain is crippling. I have just done a bit of googling, as you do , and spoke with my mum and it could be sciatica.

 

[going_crazy]

Hey ladies, hope all's ok today?

Laura - I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but what you are describing DOES sound like sciatica Either that or it's a different kind of nerve pain. The only thing I can recommend is seeing your gp when they open again - or if it's really bad, have you got a walk-in centre or anything?
Really hope you can get something sorted asap..... that's the kind of thing you don't want for the next 18weeks xxxxxxxx

 

[laura6914]

thanks going crazy hunny. i think thats what it is. my mom had it when pregnant with my sister
From what i have read on the net there isnt much you can do apart form take paracetamol, have a warm bath and get hot pads for the base of the back

[Agiboma]

congrats on team pink

 

[BeanieBaby]

Congrats on team BB. So sorry you're OH missed the scan but lovely you had your friend with you. Oh and I like Tristan too!

So glad your's went well too MommyKC. We're in the same boat as we found out we're on team again (we have a 2.5yr old little girl already). I was made up and so was OH but he was really hoping for a boy so I think deep down he was a little bit gutted as we're not trying for a 3rd. I'm just so happy my LO will get to experience having a sis though and its great we get to use all the clothes and toys again as we have so many!

So sorry to hear about your sciatica Laura6914 that really sucks, my friend had it. Hope you feel better soon and the doc can help you.

Agiboma, its 39 weeks paid maternity leave but you are entitled to a year off. the remaining 13 weeks are unpaid. Correct me if im worng ladies.
