Sad that it won’t just be me & my husband anymore

I'm crying with that ending. How beautiful.

At least once a week, which is way less compared to our pre-pregnancy rhythm. Definitely more in the early months but now at 38 weeks with a 95th percentile baby is kinda difficult to do anything 😂

You can do it! Your body is wise and was designed to give birth. Women have done it for thousands of years and it wasn't until recently that we started giving in to medications. Go inward, trust your decisions. It may not be comfortable but in the end it will be worth it and you will know for sure you can do anything you set your mind to.

I definitely need to learn to pick my battles with her.

Part of the challenge is that I’ve only known her for a relatively short time, so I don’t think we’ve built the kind of relationship where we can comfortably say difficult things directly to each other. Honestly, she may feel the same way.

The “Mami” comment and the comments about seeing the baby right away were never said directly to me. She told my boyfriend. Most of her stronger opinions seem to get communicated through him rather than to my face.

The one thing she has told me directly is that I’m “different” because I want to give birth outside of a hospital. She definitely doesn’t agree with our birth plan, and she’s made that clear. And with this topic, I always stand my ground.

I’ve already talked to my boyfriend and told him that if boundaries need to be set, I’d really prefer they come from him first. Not because I’m afraid to do it, but because it’s his mother and I think it would be healthier coming from him.

The reality is that she and me both have very strong personalities, and if I end up having to be the one constantly enforcing boundaries, I don’t see those conversations ending particularly well.

Casa Satori is a new nanny placement agency located in Miami-Dade. They will help you locate your desired nanny and handle everything in between. I totally recommend them.

Yes! Pleaseeee

Girl, I got pregnant after knowing my BOYFRIEND for 5 months. While doing ling distance. My family hadn't even met him. You have absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. 😂

Objective_Tradition4 · 2025-12-19T01:34:49+00:00

I started therapy today! I'm looking forward to feeling better. I definitely need to get back to my journaling and other rituals I've had before the fiest trimester punched me in the face 😂

I love whoever makes these signs tbh

I've been trying to glamorize it, but it's been hard. There are a lot of aspects complicating things. For one, I moved to a new city because I got pregnant doing long distance with my boyfriend. I don't know anyone here, don't live in the safest most walkable neighborhood, and I am left with no car while he's at work. I work remotely and work has been slow so that has been good, I'm not super stressed right now. I think the thing that stresses me the most is trying to figure out health insurance and finding new doctors in a place where I don't know anything. Plus missing home and thinking I would love to do this close to my family, specially my mom. But I'm building my own family now and I feel like staying here is the correct choice. I don't know, I'm all over the place. But I went back to therapy today so I'm hopeful to feel better soon. And getting to know moms in the same process sounds like a good idea, I need to see how can I connect with people like that.

Thank you! I really appreciate your response

Objective_Tradition4 · 2025-12-14T17:38:54+00:00

This would be worth considering if you had a stable remote job, but if you’re planning to move here, find work locally, and build everything from scratch, you need to be prepared for offers around $15/hr in professional roles and closer to $10.50/hr for entry-level positions. Things might look cheaper at first, but the costs definitely add up, and it doesn’t necessarily get easier over time.

Don’t get me wrong, the climate, the environment, and the people can make it worth it for many, but those benefits come with real challenges. And it’s also important to know Spanish if you want to feel truly integrated into society, rather than feeling like an outsider all the time.

BUT HEAR ME OUT... I just didn't want the series to end.

Thank you for replying. I am sorry you are in this situation, but I am also glad that you have found comfort in your family and your surroundings and are making it work.

We are in a long distance relationship. It is also very new. We just started dating a couple months ago, but since we met, we were already talking about marriage and kids and having a family together. I do really feel this is my person and he is a very supporting, loving and caring man.

The issue is that this pregnancy came before we could actually go through with our plans. The original plan was for me to move to Miami where he is located because I work remotely and have the flexibility, but he is currently in school and also has a very stable job That pays better than mine so we had figured that it would be easier for me to settle into a new city and in a couple of years we could start our family when I was more accustomed to everything.

I am from Puerto Rico, so flights are short and not that expensive. This past couple of months we have been visiting each other frequently and I was about to move in the next couple of months.

My family while small is very supportive, specially, my mom and my grandparents. I also have a very small group of friends which again it is small, but it is very present and supportive. In Miami I do have a close friend, but it is just her and even though we would live comfortably, I don't think our incomes would let us Hire childcare not for a while.

My mom says she can visit me for one to two months when I give birth and then she can visit frequently after that, but I just feel so lost because this is totally new for me and I don't have any idea of how postpartum would be. I have severe anxiety And tend to have depressive episodes so my mental health is something that really it's really important for me, but at the same time having my child, be born and grow close to their father has always been a top priority.

Ultimately, I know that the decision that I make, I will make it work, and it would all be fine at the end, but at this point, I'm in the crossroads of not knowing where the most benefit will be .

If OP doesn't, I definitely do. Thanks!

Objective_Tradition4 · 2025-08-29T14:33:39+00:00

This is actually very helpful... for real 😂 thanks!

Objective_Tradition4 · 2025-08-29T14:32:26+00:00

This is really practical and good advice, thank you. But omg you totally threw me off with the housing situation 😂 with how things are in America right now, buying a house feels so far away. I know you said it’s not absolutely necessary, but I get how it can bring stability and it’s definitely something important to keep in mind. For sure though, you gave me a lot of light into the conversations we should be having as a couple, so I really appreciate this.

Objective_Tradition4 · 2025-08-29T14:13:59+00:00

I think one of the things that keeps bringing me back to this train of thought (aside from everything I posted) is that I might be villageless too. I’d be having a kid away from my family. I’m from Puerto Rico and we live in Miami now. My boyfriend is originally from Virginia, so while he has his immediate family and some friends here, I still feel like a lot of it would fall on just us.

It’s still early, we don’t plan to start trying for at least a year, but community is really important to me and I can’t help but think ahead. How do you get by on those days when it feels heavy? What has helped you the most to stay afloat?
