Are Stella & Eleanor too similar?

Hello!
I am currently pregnant with twin girls and my husband and I love the names Stella & Eleanor. My husband worri s that their nicknames would be too similar (Ella & Ellie) and argues that they could both uses either nickname interchangeably.

Are these names too similar? Do they sound silly together?

Please be brutally honest!

i don’t think they’re too similar, maybe using different nicknames would give some more peace of mind? for eleanor a cool nickname could me lea to kinda distinguish, or you could use stelle as a nickname for stella so it’s even more different like stelle and lea as their nicknames, and honestly i’ve seen some twins have crazy similar names (my great grandpa was a twin named thermon and his brothers name was hermon) (oh and in highschool i was friends w these twins named hannah and savanna)

You may even come up with nick names you’d never dream of calling them!! My first born is Isaiah, you’d think Izzy or Zayah or something right - nope I came up with Gung-gung somehow! He’s 23 now and still Gung. LOVE YOUR GIRL NAMES CHOICES! I Have twins turning 21 this month I named Ashlyn Aloha & Ian (eye-an) Joseph! My boy we call Onion and Ashlyn is Smash or sissy. 🤷‍♀️ go with your heart!

I don’t think the names themselves are too similar, but I agree the nicknames Ella and Ellie are too similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
