    Tillie

    DH and I both like the name Tillie but I can't get out of my head silly tillie (possible nickname at school). Am I being ridiculous? kids are always going to have some name at school, right???

    Tillie is so sweet. I had a little girl in my class last year called Matilda and she was called Tillie for short. I loved it!

    My daughter is Tilly (short for Matilda) and she's never had silly tilly at school and is in year 5. They really don't pick on names at school, other things yes, but I've not heard of anyone being teased about their name! Guess it can happen to anyone though!!

    Hi Bridee,

    You messaged me a few weeks ago in regards to us both having low PAPP-A. Im sorry, I have no idea how to email you directly! Just wondering how things were going with you and bubs? I have just been for my 19 week scan, and would you believe it, i have a single umbilical artery aswell. Just wanted to know how your experiences were going. My ob said it happens to about 1 in 100 people in his experience and nearly all of them aren't affected by the single artery. Hope everything is well and bubs is growing fine.

    By the way, I love the name Tillie.

    Hi Bridee,

    I am a school teacher (kindergarten) and children never seem to pick on each others names. I have a girl called Mia in my class, sometimes the children say 'Mamma Mia' but she likes it and sings along!
    I can't believe you have another daughter called Georgie! That is my current favourite. Did she have SUA aswell? Just wondering if it runs in the family?
    By the way, when I say I'm Stella's Mum, Stella is my little poodle dog. Im expecting my first child.
    How is everything going at the moment? What week are you in now?

    I didn't have SUA or low-papp-a with my first but she was on the small side - 2.6kg born at 37wks, so that is actually working in my favour at the moment because I have a history of having a small baby. So when everything is looking ok apart from the size we can always just say well DD was small maybe this one is just small as well rather than saying it definitely is because of the placenta.

    My next check up is on Wednesday and I'm 33wks so I really think I will get past the magically 34 wks which was where we wanted to get to early on.

    How are you going?

    Hi Bridee,

    Everything seems to be going well at the moment - my bump is certainly getting bigger so hopefully that means the babys is too. I dont have another appt for 3 weeks so I'll be looking forward to that. Baby is moving quite a bit so I am really enjoying that. I'm feeling really positive at the moment so hopefully that continues. Keep me updated!
