Energy drinks are still within the caffeine limit anyway as long as its just 1

Totally agree! I’m American living in theNetherlands and the food guidelines are totally different in addition to how they do doctor’s visits. I never had my urine tested the whole pregnancy, and hardly had any tests other than basic bloods and genetic testing. I followed the Dutch food guidelines and it was basically eat whatever except the usual suspects: sushi, raw meats, soft eggs & cheeses, etc.
I stayed off caffeine and baths, though. I love a super hot bath and didn’t see the point in soaking in what I consider like warm water .

Ok guys, baby name opinion time please The 2 we are currently most set on for little boy treetrunks are Arthur or Archer (with an option to nickname him Archie). What do people think?

Arthur has a slightly better flow with our surname, but Archers a little more unusual. Both work and fit one of our primary name goals which is to give him a recognisable westernised/English speaking name, as both his surname and middle name will be from my partners country and we like the idea of mixed heritage ~ mixed name.

I think Archer is lovely. Not heard anyone else called that and a cute nickname too.

ooo Archer is lovely! Never heard it before x
 
I do wonder how many of these pregnancy rules we get so fixated on are actually true I have friends who didn’t even know about the whole hot bath thing and have perfectly healthy babies!
Agree with this. I worry when I wake up on my back but then think I'm being stupid because cavewomen probably weren't religiously sleeping on their left

Oh god, now I'm spreading the irrational behaviour! I think it's just recommended the further on you get but my book says just to turn back over if you do wake up on your back.

I love sleeping on my back, I think at some point you just physically don’t manage anymore since it’s becomes so uncomfortable Looking forward to not being pregnant anymore just to be able to sleep however I feel like haha

Just jumping in here as my toddler is Arthur and I just love it, we considered Archer for our third but decided it was too close to Arthur. I love Archer though, it's not common but not too out there and I love that you could shorten it to Archie. Gahhhh I love baby names

Absolutely love both, but I would go with Archer between those two as I’ve also never heard that before! I really liked Arthur and Archie but my husband wasn’t so keen on either but think we’ve decided on George now!

Honestly same, I could only ever get to sleep on my back, now I’ve trained myself to fall asleep on my left side with my pregnancy pillow but I always wake up on my back with my pregnancy pillow across my stomach I could murder a steak this pregnancy as well, my first I was off it the whole time but every time I drive past miller and Carter I’m like
