Pregnancy After Loss Thread (Aug 2-15th)

[MarzipanCat]

I think a doppler would just have the potential to scare me unnecessarily. Like I don't do that to myself enough already.

Last night I couldn't shake the feeling that the baby died, and I was all upset, even though there's no real rational reason for feeling that way. And now this morning I am so nauseous, and emailed my coworker to say I'd be late, but oh man do I feel like crap. I only have to get through two more weeks of work then I get laid off, but it is going to be a long two weeks if I'm going to keep feeling like this!!

But now I'm starting to think it might be a good idea not to be debating the subject in the delivery room again, so tell me what you think... Middle names are set....John for a boy, Hope for a girl. First names are a problem. The issue with the girl's first name is that DH likes "Rose" but all our other kids have 2-3 syllable first names, 1 syllable middle names, and 2 syllable last name. We talked about adding another syllable, like "Rosalie" or "Rosie" but he likes "Rose". And I'm just going to admit that I think part of the reason he likes it (and I don't) is because he mentioned it to his (CRAZY) family and they loved it. Yes, I'm bad. I really like the name Alice, but DH wants to do Alison (which I'm against). He finally said he just likes the nickname Ally....and I really like the meaning of Alice, but I'm not attached to the pronounciation....so I'm thinking maybe going with "Alyse" (which is pronounced like Elise, but is the 15th century spelling of Alice, so I get the meaning, and can be shortened to Ally). Am I just stretching this too far? I'm not a "make up baby names" kind of person....the other girls all have very traditional "old people" names...but I do like the romance of "Elise" and the strength of "Alice". Does Alyse seem too weird or modern? Should I stick with Alice and we can shorten that? For a boy, I really wanted to name him Henry, because the baby will most likely be born on my grandfather (who raised me) 85th birthday. His name is Richard Harry....but my brother and nephew are both Richard, and I can't bring myself to use Harry, so I thought Henry would be good. Unfortunately, my family (and DH) all think that my grandfather won't believe the baby is named after him if it isn't EXACTLY one of his names...and I can't bring myself to use either name. DH and I both like Andrew, which when combined with John means "God is Gracious to Man"....which honestly after the 4 miscarriages I think would be really perfect....except that now there are expectations that if baby is a boy we're going to name him after my grandfather! And now you know why I delay choosing baby names! Someone please just tell me I'm not an awful grandchild for naming my son what I want, even though I love my grandfather, and I'm not totally weird for wanting a daughter with a romantic sounding name with a good meaning?

The name Alyse is really pretty. My babygirls name is Addyson (different I know) but we call her Addy. The name Henry is really cute too and I think it would be a great mix with John. We were on the way to the hospital debating what we were going to name Addy and when it was time to sign the Birth Certificate it felt so rushed, even though we had 9 months and a week to pick it...lol So anyway Alyse is pretty.
