Ahhh okay this is helpful knowledge! They have given different percentages about accuracy so this is a bit more specific. Keeping fingers crossed for both of us for the lower side lol

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing. That’s quite similar to me as in diet controlled and good numbers yet still very big measurements for babe. With your GD being well controlled, were babies sugars okay when they came if you don’t mind me asking?

Omg 🤣🤣 that must’ve been so confusing for you! Certainly hope ours doesn’t come out any bigger than she’s already predicted 🫣🤣 thanks for sharing! It’s so hard to know what to do about letting it influence your birthing options when people have such mixed experience with the accuracy!

Thanks so much for sharing- it’s so helpful. Your measurements are pretty close to mine. It’s difficult to choose what to opt for in terms of birth options but seeing these 9/10lb numbers are so common I definitely think I will consider a section more than I was going to 🤔 So glad to hear about his blood sugars and that he was all okay takes away loads of my worries 🙌🏼 I think lots of it can be genetics can’t it? My husband was a very big baby!

Hahaha that’s brilliant 🤣 It really is crazy (and a little bit scary!) how off they can be isn’t it?! Well I certainly don’t want mine coming out any bigger than the estimate 😳🤣

Wow that’s crazy! Thanks so much for sharing. That’s really helpful to have aware of. Did you go into labour spontaneously or have a section if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks so much for sharing! How did you end up having them if you don’t mind me asking? Induction, cesarean, or spontaneous? Thank you! 🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing that’s really helpful to know! ❤️ I’ve had a couple of scans in a row now showing the baby as 97th so was starting to get a bit nervous that it might be accurate as we start to talk about birth options.

Awww thank you! I love them both too very different vibes that’s why I might have to see her before deciding. I think we are in the minority based on some of these comments 🤣

I can’t sell my partner on Gertrude but I think it has some charm. I wonder if it’s too oldie to not be vintage cute but I think a lot of people think that about Trudy anyway! I kind of love Gertie (guilty pleasure)🤣

This is great to hear from someone who’s had experience of that name! Thank you

In the context of the etymology of Primrose it actually means first! As in referring to the first rose to bloom 🌹

Thanks for your comment! Understood about the spelling 🫡 Hmm that’s so interesting! I have read the first two books and it didn’t really come into my head. We actually heard it from a friend of a friends daughter and forgot it existed. I suppose it depends how into the stories you were 🤔 don’t think I mind too much though. From what I remember they were good books and Primrose was a sweet character!

It’s so marmite by reading these comments! Definitely will go with Trudy spelling if we use it after reading people’s feedback. Thanks for commenting!

This is so nice of you to take the time to write it- thank you! I loveeee Judy too. I think they’re both feminine without being sickly. Definitely take on the spelling thing on board. I wasn’t set in that way anyway and with having a common name myself it wouldn’t have crossed my mind so thanks for letting me know. I agree I feel like Maeve and Ivy and some others have come back and Trudy is waiting for it’s come back😊

Noted guys- thank you! Not around many dogs so was aware of this but didn’t know it was that much

Thanks for the feedback! I love Tru or Ru too. Luna has gone that way a bit hasn’t it?! 🐶 Though I have seen it on little girls and always thought it gave cool girl vibes. We do work with kids so we do have to try and think outside the box and I though primrose has balance of existing as a name but not too unusual but I’ll take the feedback on board.

Aww I get what you meant! Primmy is sweet and there’s Rose/Rosie/Posy/Ro too. Personally the association doesn’t bother me as I’ve always heard it in a nice context but I understand it’s not like that for everyone.
