We just wanted to get to know her on our own and name her without input. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1334335 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:38:28 +0000 Corduroy 1334335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told my doula at our last appointment. My hospital liked to write the baby's name on the white board while you're in labor but I said no to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1334329 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:27:57 +0000 Radish 1334329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she asked and so did my doctor and I felt so put on the spot by both. We didn't have a name picked out at the time of the ultrasound, but we did (but weren't 100%) when my doctor asked in the 3rd trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1334300 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 00:08:25 +0000 Purpledaisy 1334300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't tell a single soul the name until after she was born. I don't know how we kept it a secret for so long, we had the name picked out at 12 weeks! But when anyone asked that wasn't close to us we would just say we were still deciding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1334245 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 23:40:40 +0000 birdofafeather 1334245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they never asked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332419 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:07:52 +0000 Mae 1332419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will when we decide for sure! But we're not being super tight-lipped. We will tell our parents and our closest friends. I am going to try to avoid telling EVERYONE, but I have a big mouth so who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332394 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 18:02:00 +0000 Dandelion 1332394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep...after the anatomy scan confirmed a boy, the midwife I was scheduled to see asked me if we had a name for him. I told her, and they wrote it in my file, so that the staff can refer to him by name. Kinda nice!</p> <p>I have no problem sharing when people ask, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332249 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:17:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1332249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I told when asked, but didn't shout it out. I'm not one for secrets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332245 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:16:44 +0000 MrsF 1332245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: we knew it and kept it a secret. I'm surprised we were able to but it was kind of nice to have it between us and it turned into a special moment for my DH to announce it right after she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332231 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:12:50 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1332231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: haha! sneaky sneaky!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332228 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:11:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 1332228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: we were team green and convinced it was a boy, so I secretly told my sister our girl name. Dh still doesn't know :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332220 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:08:49 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1332220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They've never asked! Only people I tell is random people that I'm not really friends with, like my hair dresser/massage lady, etc. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332216 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:07:26 +0000 Running Elley 1332216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We kept our names a secret. We didn't even tell anyone what names we were considering.</p> <p>But.... I told my nurse at my 38 week appointment haha. I just couldn't hold it in anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332199 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:03:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 1332199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have totally told strangers things way before family. The second person to know I was pregnant was an instructor at a cooking class! </p> <p>But no, I didn't tell those people our names. We didn't tell anyone. It's funny though because c has almost the same name as my midwife, just with an A at the end instead of an E. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332187 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 17:00:08 +0000 twodoghouse 1332187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: did you know her name and kept it a secret or did you wait until the end to decide? I have no self control so I'm not that surprised I caved but I'm slightly bummed this lady knows and my in-laws don't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332186 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:59:58 +0000 MrsKoala 1332186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We've only told our names to one person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332178 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:57:30 +0000 MrsF 1332178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't tell anyone until she was born </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332174 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:56:46 +0000 blackbird 1332174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! i told everyone who asked </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-your-doctornursesonographer-your-baby-names#post-1332155 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:53:30 +0000 twodoghouse 1332155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are keeping our names a secret... Sort of. Technically my mom guessed the names, I told my sisters at Christmas, and we told our closest friends when they were visiting from Belgium. But we are mostly keeping them a secret.</p> <p>I just had an ultrasound and the sonographer asked if we had names picked out. I told her what I've told everyone else - we have practice names we are using at home but nothing is set in stone. Usually this keeps people from asking too many follow up questions, but my sonographer was super pushy and I caved and told her! </p> <p>Now I feel like we need to tell my in-laws so they aren't the last ones to know! :) Did your medical staff ask about your name choices and did you cave and tell them?? </p>
