Middle names for Imogen?

We have decided to call our daughter Imogen. She isn’t due until February, but think we are 100% decided on the name. Can’t decide on her middle name though! So far we have only come up with Imogen Charlotte or Imogen Olivia. Any suggestions? I like traditional names really, not into modern names!

Dull painful ache?

I've woken up with a dull painful/uncomfortable ache right under my boob.i thought maybe baby's foot was up there but I've moved around trying to get him to move and it still isn't gone. Is it normal? It's not excruciating but it's enough to stop me in my tracks. I also feel really sick and just 'ugh' 😒. I'm 34 weeks

Has anyone started their periods again?

I’m six week pp and I finished bleeding around 4 weeks. Which I was surprised at as all my sister bled for 6 weeks. Anyway I’ve started to have spotting when I wipe and pink steaks of blood. Could this be the start of my periods return or is it likely to be pp bleeding still?
