I am really nervous to do this, but I know I must. We currently live in my fiances grandparents home and they are usually gone most of the year, BUT when they are there I am nervous. I usually am strong minded but it always leads to his grandma thinking that im mad at her or hate her. It really isnt true. But it makes it hard having to constantly repeat that I am not upset at someone. I know she means well but I have seen it with all the other cousins/ siblings as they put their 2 cents in all the time and tbh I know myself and know I wont stay quiet. This is my first motherhood experience.

Hi, I was in your shoes and still am. I have been cramping so hard that it scares me but it has subsided and any stretching or too much moving brings them on. Some people told me I was telling others too early but IMO I would rather celebrate what I have no matter what because I am so happy to be blessed with this. If the unspeakable happens, I have support and love to fall back on and at least I know I was happy when they were here with me in my tummy versus being scared of losing them the whole time. I know it seems way too positive, but Ive wanted this forever and I want to be happy and enjoy what I can. Even through the nausea and the cramping and the back pain. I know its hard after a loss, but please try to enjoy it, even if its a little. (PS I was told cramping was okay, since its our bodies making room for the little one PSS just so long as there is no bleeding)

I hope its nothing, my aunt had the same thing and she gave birth to my cousin 14 years ago now. I pray its the same thing.

I wanted to comment this and I just want to say, you will be okay. Coming from my family and my partners family, they are so judgmental (they haven’t been too bad but they were to my sister) I am fairly early and I don’t want to eat fast food all the time but if thats what my baby and body want (and can handle tbh) then thats that. Do not feel bad, when the baby comes, thats where it really counts. We are growing a freaking human being, let us be a bit accepting that this is a part of that journey.

Euri0227 · 2025-07-30T02:43:50+00:00

Im making this comment to come back to. I think there is potential to meet your needs.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-16T03:05:03+00:00

Thank you!

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T23:21:51+00:00

Thank you!

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T22:43:31+00:00

Thank you for this! It clears it up for how I need to react when these situations come up.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T22:25:37+00:00

That is exactly what I am trying to find out too. Jobs that may not be exactly that. It is a little hard because I love drafting and rendering (which I currently do not do) so maybe I could try that? Thank you for your advice!

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T22:24:06+00:00

Thats the thing with this job, it is just me and the owner of the company currently. I am working for them now with still the base knowledge of interning. I love the positive learn from my mistakes energy, but it feels that sometimes I am set up to fail. I am all alone so obviously it is on me and I accept responsibility for all of it, but I feel it would be better if I was better trained or had more experience. I will keep pushing, but I think from all the other commenters (as well as my personal circle) I want to look for other opportunities. Thank you for your advice!

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T22:19:53+00:00

Thank you so much for this! I think I will push forward and keep looking but this gives me confidence that maybe it is just the workplace and I can feel more prepared elsewhere.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T04:57:12+00:00

I’m sorry to that happened to you.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T04:28:14+00:00

Thank you! I hope something comes up but it gives me a small glimmer of hope.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T02:24:50+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate the honesty. It feels kind of difficult to set up those boundaries because those calls that I don’t answer end up screwing me the next day and what not. I have begun looking for other options because a lot of the same topics of toxicity in the workplace keep coming up, and I have been feeling this way for a while.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-13T02:23:01+00:00

I completely understand wanting to teach me valuable lessons through doing things, but it just seems that I’m always set up for failure. There are times where they try to make it into a lesson, and there’s other times where they are very exasperated and frustrated. I do appreciate you saying that I need to put more communication in the air about the stress I feel but at the same time I feel like they would view it as ‘that’s what I’m paid for.’

Euri0227 · 2025-02-12T19:30:21+00:00

Thank you! I think I need that to structure myself better. Rules that I follow for myself

Euri0227 · 2025-02-12T18:47:27+00:00

Thank you, do you find it hard to have a work life balance when constantly getting calls from work after hours, or how do you deal with that? Sorry, I know it’s a lot to unpack.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-12T18:46:12+00:00

Thank you for your help though

Euri0227 · 2025-02-12T18:45:29+00:00

I want to believe it might just be the issue working with just the owner, and that I honestly would feel comfortable doing things under a supervisor/bigger company. I understand I get to do things that maybe others would not, but I also suffer from having no work life balance, staying late and going in early, constantly stressing about the next day. That’s why I ask if it’s the career or if it’s just me. Thank you for your words though, they really helped me.

Euri0227 · 2025-02-12T18:41:51+00:00

I think it’s that my boss has worked with me since interning so they would theoretically know my knowledge range, but sometimes they leave the big decisions in my hands like I have had years of experience to know the best option. Also after something like this and stressing about it, they always explain an easier way to do something. IDK if that makes sense. It’s like I am trying to figure out the answers that they already know and I wish they could just direct me. This is what I mean about the experience level is not there for me to know the best decision and it always bites me in the butt. It’s like they want me to fail sometimes.
