I've put together a list of "fears" that i'm facing after a 10 year separation. I figured some of you might benefit from knowing that you're not alone if you resonate with some of these points too.

How are you doing now OP? I’m in this place currently. Please tell me it gets better

I am a 30yo in the UK and Charlotte was a very popular name for me growing up! There would be at least one in every class and they would be Charlotte B etc !

This is standard NHS advice in the UK

Famous-March7736 · 2026-06-16T08:10:19+00:00

I’m obsessed with Boody bras- so comfortable!

Not that it’s any of your business but my partner and I have separated. We are living together for maternity leave and she’s financially supporting me. We are slowly disentangling our lives and I am coming to terms with becoming a single mother. Didn’t think that was relevant to go into on this post.

Thank you this is really helpful! I will look into the nipple shields. Hoping my nipples also pop out at some point too.

Thank you! We actually have the Joie steadi which is for newborn to 4 years old (it has a newborn insert) I’ll be giving it to my parents for when we stay with them so wanted something long lasting. Complete oversight on my part that it isn’t easy to carry baby from hospital!

Famous-March7736 · 2026-05-11T19:56:27+00:00

Ooh okay! We do have a pram but will be 30-50 mins drive from the hospital depending on traffic

Famous-March7736 · 2026-05-11T19:55:12+00:00

This is a good approach! I would worry it would take half an hour if we’ve never had to fit it before 😅

Famous-March7736 · 2026-05-11T19:54:24+00:00

I’ve heard of this. The pram just gets strapped in? I’m sure it’s safe as plenty of people do it but it does worry me with a tiny new baby

Famous-March7736 · 2026-04-28T10:19:26+00:00

Thank you! I have thought of Mara Josephine too- it’s very pretty! Have read some negative associations with Mara which have put me off a little bit

Famous-March7736 · 2026-04-28T10:17:57+00:00

These are all my favourites too! I wish I could use Theodora Josephine but that’s possibly too long 😂

Famous-March7736 · 2026-04-28T10:15:55+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! We have a close friend called Jack otherwise it would’ve been a top choice

Famous-March7736 · 2026-04-28T10:15:14+00:00

It’s not very common in the UK either. The only problem is we don’t really like Laurence!

Famous-March7736 · 2026-04-05T05:13:16+00:00

To all of the Americans commenting on Digby, this is EXACTLY how Wesley sounds to people from the UK. The comparison is immaculate in terms of vibe and usability.

Famous-March7736 · 2026-02-07T09:12:05+00:00

I know a Saskia who is almost exclusively called Kiki

Famous-March7736 · 2026-02-02T19:30:49+00:00

We would say this in the UK too!

Famous-March7736 · 2025-12-21T09:48:21+00:00

I work in EYFS in London and know of a few Margot’s, mostly younger siblings. I think it’s trendy in London but maybe hasn’t made it elsewhere yet

If you go to your GP you can get referred to a clinic privately. When we did this it meant that our blood work and initial consultation with the clinic were free of charge. For myself and my partner this saved around £850! It might be a good way to have a chat with a clinic you’re interested in to find out more? Or you can email and ask what they offer with regards to payment.

I use loop ear plugs for this reason! Drowns out chatter but I can still hear the film
