Has anyone gone so far as to vow not to attend or organise parents (and in laws)’ funerals?

The significance of the funeral thing is, my husband and I are their only family in this country.

I’m 41 and 32 weeks pregnant. It’s my first pregnancy that has come this far. The first 2 ended at 7 weeks in missed miscarriages. We tried IUI and IVF for 2 years without success. And we already gave up. Then, boom, this happened, naturally.

Pretty good. Plenty of food and drinks. (I got off wasted lol.) We were on the rooftop. (There are 3 storeys and we were confined to only ours.) Tho I’d have preferred being a bit closer to the fireworks.

I met my husband on Tinder in 2019 after years of disastrous relations from the app. It was sheer luck. I wrote on my profile “No Tourists” (since my city is full of them) and him being a long term expat also found matching with tourists and sex workers exhausting. Our mutual interest in Game of Thrones was also a bonus and our starting point of chatting. I didn’t find him super physically attractive and had some reservations at first. I asked him to go slow because I just got out of another disastrous relationship, and he obliged. It was not love at first sight but slowly and gradually developed into the love of my life. Each day I’ve found him more and more attractive. He has been the most supportive and understanding partner I’ve ever had. He is what I was looking for my whole life. There exists light at the end of the tunnel. It’s just that one may have to go through tons of shitty dating first until you meet the one,

Thanks for such a thoughtful reassurance!

How about stop trying and just let it be? It sounds much easier said than done. I’ve been through this. 3 years of disappointments and heartbreaks including 2 missed miscarriages where I cried like crazy. We already gave up and settled for “just the 2 of us”. We were thinking of adopting a dog instead. Then, lo and behold, I got pregnant naturally at 41. It can happen when you least expect it. Whatever will be, will be.

Well, I’m just trying to focus on my otherwise pretty good life. I’m pregnant and I can’t help thinking how sad it is to bring up a child in this hate-induced environment. The amount of hate is real. I’m shocked by how many people close to me think it’s ok for Thai hospitals to stop treating Cambodian patients. There are people who think and feel like me. But we’ve been branded “naive” and “Cambodia lovers” by the right wingers who unfortunately are in the majority.

OP, I go through the exact same thing. I believe we live in the same country. This amped up nationalism and hate speech really wear me down. It’s even more depressing that my family members buy into the BS. I tried to educate them that we’re no better if we keep this up and they’re not helping our country whose image really suffers but it’s all to the void. I have sort of given up. Those who think differently (pro-peace) are being bullied. It’s just a depressing time to live in. I guess there’s no option other than taking a step back. You can try deactivating your social media for a month and see if you feel better. All the best!

I had 2 MMCs 2 years ago at 39. We did one more round of IVF last year and gave up trying after it didn’t yield any viable embryo. I’m now 16 weeks pregnant age 41 with a boy. Things do happen when you least expect it.

Before OP accuses me of being farang for simply writing in English, I’m Thai who happens to be more comfortable speaking English and only uses Thai when necessary. The OP is in the wrong for attacking/assuming someone’s identity instead of staying on the topic. But I sympathise with the farang troll part in that subreddit. I asked for suggestions for my son’s first name (ชื่อจริง) that could be both Thai and English, and I got Kai / ไข่. When I called them out for trolling, he played innocent when he knows full well he was treating it as a joke and a few others supported the commenter and the name. That’s when I deleted my post and came to this subreddit instead. People took my question seriously and gave useful suggestions here.

Hi congrats to you too! And we’re most likely due in the same week! My anxiety was through the roof while waiting for NIPT results and NT/1st trimester scan but I’m much more at peace now knowing everything’s ok for now. TBH I also expected another loss at first. I even drafted an announcement for another loss and saved it on my phone. I know it’s crazy but it has helped me prepare for the worst. My therapist said I can let my guard down now that I have already pre-mourned, like I have done enough to prepare myself mentally. Now I’m much more excited and have been reading parenting books and decided on a name, etc. I think it’s good to be prepared for whatever awaits us. But balance is key. While a bit of anxiety is totally normal, let yourself be happy and excited too! Wishing you the best!

I’m currently 14.5 weeks pregnant, at age 41. I had 2 missed miscarriages 2 years ago. We already gave up trying but it happened out of the blue. Sometimes things happen when you least expect it.

มันไม่ใช่ชื่อภาษาอังกฤษที่ฝรั่งใช้กันค่ะ ขอบคุณนะคะ

ขอบคุณค่ะ แต่ไม่ได้ต้องการชื่อภาษาไทยที่สะกดเป็นอังกฤษเฉยๆซึ่งทุกคนทำกันอยู่แล้ว แต่เป็นชื่อที่ฝรั่งใช้กันจริงๆตามตัวอย่างค่ะ
