How often should I feel baby move?

I am 31 weeks pregnant and I don’t feel my baby move a lot. There’s other people who experience not being able to go to sleep because of how much their baby moves and I don’t experience that at all? I’ll feel him sometimes in the morning if I’m laying on my side or if I push down on my stomach enough he’ll kick back...

Long names for Lily

Our 3yo girl has named her yet to be born baby sister Lily 😂 she has just decided thats her name and has been telling everyone that fact haha. Unsure if we will go with it, mainly as we’re struggling with a longer name to shorten to Lily. I like unisex names for girls and Lily is very girly! Any help?

C Section mamas !

How is everyone recovering from their c sections? I had a vaginal birth but already thinking about a second baby 😆 I’m thinking I’d like a section next time as my birth and recovery wasn’t something I’d like to experience again putting it mildly. Thought I’d ask everyone about their experience while it’s still fresh…

Ultrasound baby weight

Hey guys! I had an ultrasound apt today and doctor said my baby is already 7.5 pounds, I still have four weeks left to go. I’m nervous, I’ve had a 9.1 pound baby before and it was a complicated labor. My sister in law goes to the same ultrasound tech who said her baby was 6 pounds and she gave birth three days later...
