@_thelittlefairywren - That’s really frustrating!!! I hope they get back to you with at least an apology for wasting your time! Hopefully your appointment next week goes better. It sounds like you’ve already got a pretty good idea of what you should be doing so there’s that at least!!!
@Beort12 - That was the weirdest part of it, usually I have stomach issues too, and I’ve gotten so good at just, powering through feelings of nausea etc over the years, this didn’t even give me a chance, from nothing to sick in 5 seconds flat. Oof.

[name_f]My[/name_f] stomach and digestion have just been off all week now, I’m hoping today I finally feel more normal. Not sure why everything was so up in arms.
But!
On the bright side, I’m almost positive I’m feeling the baby move now! With all the digestive upset, what is and isn’t my stomach has become really noticeable haha. Almost 22 weeks so it’s about time she let me know she’s in there for sure! I was resting my hand on the slimmest part of my abdomen, and actually felt a bomp in my hand followed by another bomp, and from what google tells me, it’s possible this early to feel baby from the outside under the right circumstances! I’m not sure what it could’ve been if it wasn’t my girl saying hi!
I’ve hit a rut with names, but think we might be using [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] in the middle. [name_f]My[/name_f] partner doesn’t tend to say much, but he did say [name_f]Pippa[/name_f] is pretty cute! Right now [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] might be my front runner, but only because I keep waffling on [name_f]Olena[/name_f] and [name_f]Annika[/name_f] for maybe dumb reasons. For [name_f]Olena[/name_f], my hesitations are that 1) His Uncle goes by [name_m]Len[/name_m], and while [name_m]Len[/name_m] is a great guy, the [name_m]Len[/name_m] sound features so strongly in the name, 2) [name_f]My[/name_f] mothers boyfriends grandson goes by [name_u]Ollie[/name_u] (I think he’s Oliver??) I’ve never met him but generally dislike his mother, (the reddest of rednecks), and while I wouldn’t want anyone calling [name_f]Olena[/name_f] by [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], I fear it would happen because of this, 3) [name_f]Olena[/name_f] doesn’t have any obvious nicknames, except maybe [name_f]Lena[/name_f] but then we run into [name_m]Len[/name_m] again.
[name_f]My[/name_f] hesitation with [name_f]Annika[/name_f] is that one of my cousins used it for her daughter, we don’t tend to reuse names in this family, having only done it once in all my grandmothers great grandchildren. Now, this daughter is an adult, she spelled it differently, I think says [name_f]Ann[/name_f] not Awn, but my cousin herself also passed away in the last decade, in her 40s so quite tragically young. I just don’t know if I can name my girl [name_f]Annika[/name_f] without my extended family immediately thinking of my cousin.
Right now I feel like if I went with [name_f]Linnea[/name_f], I’d be settling. Which is also a silly thought because I’ve loved [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] for years and years, and the couple friends I’ve run it past think it’s beautiful, it’s also always a favourite on NB here. I’m definitely overthinking at this point. /end ramble
