Hi ladies, so many nice ultrasound pics and good news. Congrats Beaut1ful38 for your gorgeous baby boy!!!
Im sorry Sha-rk about the nausea and vomit, I hope its not something that lasts the rest of your pregnancy. Im crossing my fingers for mine not to come back, I truly dont want to relive the horrible first trimester.
Samantha we are indeed so close in our pregnancies, when is your expected due date?

AFM: We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday, the doctor wasnt that nice so she barely showed me my baby girl, but at least my husband got to see her during the whole appointment. All good news up to now, so we amight finally start buying some things for the baby and maybe start planning on a nursery.

When did you all start buying things for the new baby, and when did you start the nursery?

Vs i'm sorry your doctor wasn't so pleasant. Our ultrasound tech annoyed me also, she had so much attitude about how he kept moving around...anyway.. My official due date is September 20th but i have a strong feeling i may deliver a little early, maybe a week, just a gut feeling i've always had., we'll see! Very exciting!

Happy Mothers Day ladies xxx

Happy mothers day everyone!!

Happy Mothers day to you all for yesterday! Can't wait til this time next year

Happy Mother's Day ladies! Congrats Beaut1ful! Your little boy is precious. I had to do the nipple shield for 5 months for my daughter before she could latch on without it and it took 2 weeks for her to even latch on at all when she was first born. It's hard but so worse it! Hang in there! I hope it gets better soon.
As for me I would have been 13 weeks this week but miscarried 2 weeks ago. It's been a tough couple of weeks but today I just wanted to be grateful for the fact that I am already a mom of 2 wonderful children. I'll be trying again as soon as my body allows it! Best of luck to all of you for the rest of your pregnancy and for your delivery!

Agatch, I am so sorry to hear of your loss lovely. I hope and pray that your heart and body can heal as you need them to so you can start this journey again. So glad you have two beautiful blessings to kiss and cuddle and get you through this time! Big hugs to you my dear. xx

Sorry to hear agatch, hope your heart and body heal quickly.
Afm it's starting to get quite uncomfortable with bubs very low down other than that I've noticed my nausea has re surfaced again and cravings are hard core at the moment. Hope you all had a lovely mothers day x

Hi Ladies, wondering how you all came to agreements with your partners on your children's names?

My partner and i aren't married but may be one day so for now bubba boy and any future bubba's will have his name that i don't share.
It's very important to me to incorporate a name from my family, which i want to use as a middle name.

My partner Matt has agreed to the middle name, only if we change the first name we agreed on to a name he likes more than i do..

Its a tricky situation, do i forfeit the middle name from my family which I adore because i don't love the first name or do i forfeit the first name we picked so i can use the middle name from my family?

Hope that all made sense and was easy to follow.
Would love your thoughts..thanks ladies x

Hi ladies, Im so sorry Agatch about your loss. I really hope your cycle goes back on track real soon, and most important that your heart starts to heal too.

Samantha, I understand your post and even if the situation where I live is different I do get where you are coming from. In Spain where my husband is from, and Colombia where I am from is a little different since children are always registered with two last names, one form the father and one from the mother, so basically our kid is going to have both my last name and my husband´s. Nether the less we are still having issues with the naming.
Since we found out we are having a girl my husband has been pushing a lot on names from his family, like his mother’s name or grandmother´s names. The truth is that everyone in his family carries "tradition" in some sort of way, so basically everybody shares like the same 30 names.
My family is more or less the opposite, so basically no one shares their name with anyone, and I want to keep it that way.
To add one more thing into the mix there is always the chance to give our kid a first name and a middle name, but yet again in my family we are more about the single names and in his family everyone has two names.
I think you two are being much more open than us, because I’m stuck in my tracks and I’m not willing to call our kid a super long name (two names and two last names) and I don’t want their name to be shared with no one else.
In your situation I understand is important for you to have a part of your family mentioned in your baby´s name, but I do think that people are mostly called by their first name and not both first and middle, so you´ll probably be calling your child a first name you don’t love for the rest of your life. Maybe a good option would be to revise the first name and decide on a new one you both love, and keep the middle name from your family as he is already putting in his last name.
