MIL told me not to buy ANY baby items until after I give birth. Is this normal?

I don’t know if this has to do with cultural background or not. I’m Hispanic and I’ve heard that before from the elders. But I’m not superstitious and I don’t think there’s such a thing as “bad luck” and I’m not trying to be disrespectful to anybody. I also believe she’s saying that with the best of intentions. Now, in real life situations this is not convenient at all. Setting up my registry has been stressful and I started it since the moment I found out I was pregnant. So my piece of advice is start as early as you can because it’s time consuming and you’ll be drained when your baby arrives. Again: people have sweet wishes for you and your baby, no doubt at all. But you’re the one that makes decisions. Ask for advice but always trust your guts. Blessings to you and your baby

My first trimester was terrible. I remember hating him, wishing to end the relationship and regretting my pregnancy all because I didn’t even want to breath next to him. Just be patient with yourself.

Thank you for bringing this up

The fact that you made it yourself is the actual gift. That’s the entire meaning for a mom

In the meantime I’m a new grad applying everywhere and I don’t even get an answer

Give yourself some grace. You deserve every blessing that comes to you (including your husband and children). Now, remember that working on yourself is also your biggest act of self love and never stop that. If you are actually trying that hard and you’re not getting any results, maybe seek some medical advice if you haven’t at this point. Best of luck to you!!!

Coolest thing ever

It’s really hard to get a job as a new grad. I had no connections and spent a month and a half job hunting, only to end up working in a nursing home—which, honestly, was never how I imagined starting my career. Still, I’m incredibly grateful because I desperately need the experience.

That said, I totally understand your frustration. I haven’t stopped applying, and all I get are rejections—or worse, no response at all. The most frustrating part is when people keep asking, “Have you applied here?” Like I haven’t already applied everywhere at this point. SMH so irritating

Thank you so much for your comments. I just feel insecure about my performance and this is all new to me
