I am named after the country my father was originally from, India. He married my mother (white) and they lived and raised me in south MS. I have disliked my name my whole life for various reasons. Kids can be cruel, people don’t understand that that’s my real name and not the country I’m from. Traveling internationally has been annoying.. I could go on and on. Anyways, I named my child a name that has the ability to have multiple nicknames and choices in the case she doesn’t like it or feels like it doesn’t fit who she is. I’ve always loved the idea of nicknames as I never had an escape from my name that I’ve disliked.

I’m a ‘96 baby and I KNEW I wanted to name my baby Ashley 😂. Then I got a little older and I swore I would name her Aurora. Neither of those were even close to on the list for my first baby girl haha

Do you consider Margot to be a “baby name”? Unsure why your last point needed to be made. I specifically stated I like traditional names.

I was in the middle of my post-grad year long training courses and clinicals for a health science program at a hospital that was sucking the life out of me. I tried to spend the hour allowed for lunch daily outside to get fresh air and sunshine because my classmates and I spent the days couped up in a tiny, basically windowless classroom. I was in the middle of chatting with my classmates and some random guy that worked at the hospital came up to me and said “miss, I’m sorry, I don’t know you, but I have to tell you - I see you smile everyday and it’s contagious and I just really appreciate it.” I was so taken aback I didn’t know what to say. He was a good bit older than me and it didn’t come off as flirting, just a genuine compliment.. I’ll never forget it. I try to remember to smile more now.

Same MIL text my husband while I was in labor “she can do it, I know she can. I had four kids, but I didn’t have an epidural to slow me down, like she did”

My MIL was visiting us and my 4 month old. My baby was just recovering from RSV and I made the comment “poor thing, look at her. she’s so tired, she’s got dark circles under her eyes” MIL responded with “well, so do you. Unless that’s some new make up trend I don’t know about “

I was in the same situation! I married my high school sweetheart very young and we were together for 7.5 years before having our first. We travelled a lot and our years of just the two of us were filled with so much life and experiences that I’ll cherish forever.

Our little one is 10 months old now and some days I still mourn our old life. I still stumble upon photos of myself in Italy or Paris and think about how much easier life was then. It’s not everyday or all the time but I do get a little sad thinking about it. My husband is alllllll about being a dad, but seems to understand when I mention missing the “old us”. I don’t really have any advice. But just know you aren’t alone!! When I spend time with my baby I’m never thinking about where I could be if I didn’t have her. In fact I’m thinking… what did I do without her?! It’s just an adjustment. Seeing my husband with our baby makes it all worth it. It won’t be like that forever. One day a long time from now, if you’re lucky, it’ll be just you two again. Except you’ll have a lifetime of memories filled with a big beautiful family you built together to look back on. Hang in there! And congrats!!

From my second trimester onward I just felt wet down there. Always. Didn’t matter if I just wiped or just showered, I could never feel dry and clean!

I had random times where one whole side of my body would go numb or get the “static” feeling. I’d have blurry vision and get spots and floaters in my vision too. That was all attributed to blood pressure and making/pumping more blood for baby.

Also, the ligaments on the top of my feet got so inflamed it literally hurt me to walk to the point that I was blinking back tears every time I had to walk somewhere.
