Can babies have a favourite position in the womb?

[mountainboo]

I can't really tell yet whether it's his head or back or what but he quite often pushes against the top of my belly, just above my belly button and slightly to the right. I'll always feel something very hard but can't work out which body part it is. At 29+3 weeks it could be anything, but I'd love to know. I take it he still has plenty of room to do somersaults in there? What positions do your babies like?

My hubby said the same thing re the Delilah song! I tried to argue the point that she would become Delilah and people would tire of singing "Why, why, why" at her, but he was having none of it.

Psy, we have the same prob with boys name. I love the name Flynn for a boy, but a close friend of ours has a little boy called Flynn and although he said he is flattered that we like the name too, I'd feel like I was pinching it!

Looks like the AB Family section will be full of teenage Amelia's in 15 years' time criticising their parents for not being particularly imaginative when it came to naming them.....LOL

Oooh Hellyon! Emelia! Its like Amelia, which I really like, but not quite the same so we could have it without copying his mate!

[redcrx]

i know 2 ladies recently whove given birth, one had an Amelia and one had an Emilia. lol

I dont know why Im worrying, chances are itll be a boy.

[natalie_1982]

Do you have any boys namees in mind ladies?

That's what we're finding hard. We have Theo at the moment, as the only one that is on the possible list, but I can't say that I am that excited by it. I mean, I like it, but it doesn't leap at me from the page.

[Hellyon]

According to the 1997 list Amelia was number 10 but as far as I can see Emilia wasn't even in the top 100 so there shouldn't be to many of them around.

There is also Amelie on the list

[natalie_1982]

Amelie is one I like to, I also like Atalya, but with my name being Natalie we'd just sound daft!

[Hellyon]

Rufus ?
Gabriel?
Miles?
Giles?

But if you want an unusual name that no other boy in the school will have what about John? Johnny is sweet name for a boy (Think Johnny Depp!)
Or Christopher shortened to Kit
Edward to Teddy?

Sorry just ideas

Boys names are harder

[Hellyon]

Mmmm.... Nat I know a family who are Laurel, Lauren and Lily get your tongue round that!

[redcrx]

for boys names Ive got
Oliver
James
William

so far

We had no problems for a boys name and had both agreed and stuck with Ryan from the start. Unfortunately we know we are definately having a girl lol Amelie is actually the name his mate wanted but his american girlfriend couldnt pronouce it for some reason so they had Amelia instead.

[natalie_1982]

I liked Dominic, Rafferty, Callum, Rafael, Keane, Jake and Oliver. He didn't like any of them :-(

Rufus and Gabriel are lovey, but if him indoors didn't like the above I doubt he'll go for them. The annoying thing is hehas nothing to suggest instead, only "I'll know when they're born!". Well, he better bloody had......

[Psychick]

natalie, you always say "they", are you expecting more than one?

[natalie_1982]

No, only the one. I don't like calling it an "it" though, and as I can't call it a he or a she I end up calling it them! Confused? LOL

I like Joseph to. Quelle surprise, he doesn't!

[mountainboo]

Hi everyone, hope you all had a good day. I was completely rushed off my feet all day at work and so I'm absolutely knackered now. Mrmountainboo had mopped the floor and prepared a roast dinner for me when I got back so that was a nice surprise.
Did your kiddiewink come up with Conker for a name Red, he he, I wouldn't be surprised if some celeb uses it.
Mine has much the same routine as you Nat. He seems to be alot more active in the evening and funnily enough while I've been sat here he's been stretching in the usual place.
Psy, how are the Braxton Hicks lately?
We think we have a name sorted already. For years we absolutely loved the Gabrial for a boy, but the trouble is, when he comes to go to school he may not love it, so we've decided on William Robert - we think! It could still possibly change...

[Psychick]

Bet you will be glad when the maternity leave starts mountainboo! The braxton hicks have either settled down or Ive got used them and dont notice them as much anymore. From what the midwife has told me though, alot of it was babys head trying to engage and Im starting to suspect it has already as Im not getting that feeling as much and baby is lower!
