Happy mothers day everyone!!

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.

Agatch im so sorry for your loss :( i admire you looking on the bright side of having wonderful babies already. I hope you go on to have a happy healthy baby soon.

Afm...I'm almost 38 weeks and getting excited! This little girl will be my last and it will be bittersweet when this pregnancy is over but I really need her to be born already. Lol. But so far no signs at all of that happening.

@sam- girl I feel ya. My husband also grinds and talks in his sleep. Sometimes even wakes up, stands up, which is creepy, then I have to yell to wake him up and tell him to go back to bed. His talking is always some form of cursing at someone lol. Apparently he’s an angry subconscious person haha.

Thanks lovely, i'm just glad i'm not leaking amniotic fluid and looking at delivering before 30 weeks!

Hey ladies!!! First off huge a Congratulations to confuzed!!! I'm glad you made it through with out any issues and what a beautiful name cant wait to see pics!!!
Everyone is getting so close now, excited for more updates and baby news!! Sorry I was mia for a while, l ended up with some medical issues that needed attending to but all is well now.

Hi @renee and congratulations on your , 5 weeks 2days with baby #6 here! I got my vvvfl at 8dpo on December 19th and told my husband on Christmas Eve. I have my first ob and dating ultrasound on January 24th but my edd is September 3rd, however due to precipitous labor I will likely be induced around August 20th.

Hey guys! I'm 19 weeks 1 day due may 29th! If all goes well this will be baby #4 for me.

Hi Lindsay! It’s. It’s nice to meet you! And congrats on your ! I just googled what precipitous labor is and wow! With which child did that start? Or have you always been that way? I’m very intrigued. My labors have always been long and aweful. Both were induced, my first was because of low fluid and my second way because I kept going to the hospital trying to induce myself with castor oil so the third time they kept me cause they knew I would be back lmao!

@rooroo! Hey girlfriend! Thanks for jumping over! I’m looking forward to going through this journey with you too! When do you find out if it’s a boy or girl? Do you want to know?

Congrats on your bfp's ladies!!! So excited to join this group, but also a little terrified. I mc'd in November and my second cycle after I received my bfp! I have a beautiful dd who is almost a year and a half and I know she'll make a great older sister
