We call fetus "Baby Squish". We decided on that as a nickname because we have similar names for our cats, "Big Squish" is Darcy and "Little Squish" is Hermione.
Are we the same person? I swear. We have been calling ours the "Squish" or "Baby Squish" since the beginning. Last pregnancy we called it the "Bean".
My last one we called poppy through the whole pregnancy. This one I've been calling Benita (our son is Ben) to tease my husband that 2.0 is gonna be a girl. But really no good nickname yet
We call it/him Theo because that's the boy name we will be using,and we both have an overwhelming feeling that baby is a boy. If we find out otherwise, we will switch to whatever girl name we choose.
Lil baby (last name) until yesterday. Now we've been saying The Twins until we come up with something else lol

My first was 'wiggle worm' or just 'the baby'. Even after birth.
I don't think I'll be able to nickname this one until I can actually see/ hear/feel there is really a baby in there. Right now it's still surreal. Soooo ready to see the heartbeat so we can start getting attached!
I started referring to it as "our science experiment" after starting progesterone supplements yesterday. I'm hoping to work up to a warmer, more maternal nickname as the pregnancy progresses. Maybe "Bob."
Bob is the name of the Mexican tapeworm that causes me to eat twix on a daily basis.
HSG showed left tube completely blocked, diagnosed with hypothyroid and began 50 mcg Synthroid, Vitamin D level low and began 2000 iu Vitamin D, Hubby's SA showed "super sperm" according to RE
The hubby wanted.... Archibald. So I call 'em Archie. I nicknamed the last two when I was pregnant, and I named the cat so it's his turn lol. So it's baby Archie until we know the sex.
well, here's some back story first. I recently started watching Dr Who. He flies around in a blue police box called a TARDIS, which is bigger on the inside (looks like a phone booth on the outside, but its a huge spaceship). He also usually travels with a companion (a woman who keeps him company as he travels through time and space).
A few weeks ago I bought a fertility goddess necklace, which talked about the womb representing the "infinite space within" and immediately said to my friend "The womb is a TARDIS" So since the womb is a Tardis, my fetus is my companion.
My bestie calls it maple leaf (since I'm from Canada but living in the USA now)
My husband and I have this weird thing for geese, it's like our relationship "power animal" (corny, I know!), but for some reason whenever we have a huge life change, we see a goose somewhere in the distance. It seems fitting that we'd call our baby "goose". Boy or girl, I think it'll stick once he or she is born. Maybe you and your partner can pick a relationship "power animal" too? :-*
