So I literally feel like I have woken up in the middle of a nightmare except it is very real and I am so upset and can't stop crying so any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm 35 weeks pregnant expecting our first child, a little girl, in just over a month and we have had our name picked out since I was 22 weeksbut we're keeping it a secret until she arrives because we really wanted something to be a surprise. 

And we just had our name basically stolen and I am absolutely devasted. A friend, not a best friend but a close friend who is due in Februaty had her gender reveal party yesterday and found out she too was having a girl and apparently had her name picked out because she announced it and....it was our name. To say I was shocked was an understatement. Our name is NOT a common name for a girl in fact I don't know of any girls with this name and that is one of the reasons we loved it so much- it is unique without being weird. 

In addition the way we found our way to this name is very special to us too. My husband and I decided not to discuss names before we knew gender because we anticipated a lot of disagreeing so we wanted to minimize that but the day of my very first doctors appt (8 weeks) my husband said he knew it as going to be a girl and he knew her name. He wrote it down and sealed it in an envelope and we tucked it away. Driving home from our 20 week doctors appt when he had just found out that we were in fact having a girl he handed me the envelope and I opened it and was totally surprised to discover that I LOVED the name! We waited 2 weeks to officially committ just to make sure but I always knew in my heart that this was our daughters name. 

All of our family and friends including this person knew we had decided on a name but we're keeping it a surprise. A few weeks later this friend announced their pregnancy and we were so overjoyed because I loved that we would be pregnant together and that our children would be so close in age (they will be be 3.5 months apart). 

I never possibly imagined in a million years that we would pick the same name. We have very different tastes. The problem is that she announced her name very publicly and already in less than 24 hours it is all over social media so there is no possible way it would not be viewed as my stealing her name even though I am due first and have had the name picked out before she even knew she was pregnant. 

I know that I m going to have to find a new name but I am stressed because I only have 5 weeks til my due date and I don't know how I am going to possibly find another name that we love just as much and become attached to it, I am genuinely concerned about my friendship with this person because I don't want anything to ruin this joyful time for either of us because I care about her a lot and I am devastated because this is the name we have been calling our sweet little girl and it is so "her name". 

I am so torn because I feel like the name is tainted now because it wouldn't just be hers and then I also feel like I would be settling if I chose a different name because we are so in love with this one. Please help...I need advice on how to handle this incredibly difficult situation.

Hi, I am considering being induced (my Dr. is out of town my due date and I really don't care for any of his clinic partners). Who has experiences with inductions? I've read they can be more painful and can have higher c-section rates... is any of this true? Does it even matter if I "like" the Dr., they're only in the room for minutes?

Today I had an ultrasound of my baby boy and I'm 25 weeks and 2 days. Now, I'm 100000% positive my bf is the father because I lost my virginity to him a year ago and we have been together ever since and no I've never had sex with anyone other then him so he pretty much is the only option lol. But today we got a 4d pic of the baby's face and my bf is insisting I cheated because he thinks the baby looks nothing like him and in fact he thinks the baby looks black... Wtf! I on the other hand thinks he looks more like my bf then me so idk how he doesn't see it... So does any else see a major resemblance between my bf and our baby? And does anyone else notice the features that he is somehow seeing making him think the baby is black? (these pics of us are old lol but the only ones i had that showed the front and side of our faces lol plus we were goofy and took silly pictures)

Hey ladies! It's my first pregnancy and I never realized how many options and decisions there are even before you have the baby. I'm trying to do the right thing for my baby girl and it's hard to decide what is the right thing. I am a bit of a health freak and really feel the body can heal as long as you eat right. With that said anyone going the no vaccine route? I'm debating on it then again many public school require it . So many decisions. I feel they want to pump your child with everything by the time it's 6 months and that scares me. Why does a new born need a hep b shot exactly? The second it is born it needs a hep b shot? Weird. I don't know I'm curious what other moms thing. Thanks

******END QUOTES******

And the dumbest fucking thing I read is by stargirlb (yet again). She's just awful. 

my children aren't vaccinated. This baby won't be either. I'm not anti-vaccine though, I am pro-science, I research things pretty thoroughly on a case-by-case basis.

Don't you wonder what the "research" entails in the antivaxxers?
Like: step one, open Dr. Google.


Step two, type "why not to vaccinate".

Step three choose websites that do not end in .gov, .edu, bonus points for websites that have "natural" or "momma/mama/mom" in the title.


Step 4, treat the misspelled, non cited information like gospel. Even better if there is a mis-used gospel passage in the writing.


Step 5, perpetuate this garbage on the internet.

I'm going to start a blog and give out medical advice too.

I am shocked at how clueless some people are. Like, I feel they must have been living under a rock. Someone asked me last week what the difference between a front facing and rear facing car seat was. I started answering pretty snarky until I dawned on me she was being serious.

Maybe she wanted to know as far as ages/heights that kids can be in them in relation to the position?  I hope...?  That would be a valid question.

I test clueless people on a daily basis at my work.  We have a vending machine that has the directions written on it on bright yellow paper with arrows pointing to what to do and everything.  I instruct people who need to use it that is has the directions on yellow paper.  Most people walk up and just start shoving their dollars in without reading a thing, then have to come back to ask what to do.  The most painful part is when I have to go over and show them repeatedly which button to press before they actually press it.  It hurts my brain.
