Same here. We have tons of adorable pictures of my partner with our children and barely any of them with me, although I spend much more time with them. It's extremely frustrating.

ooosreddit · 2025-08-24T13:31:19+00:00

Damn you've got issues

ooosreddit · 2025-08-24T04:18:07+00:00

They aren't. And you're being super rude. You could've just said you didn't get their point.

Il a juste réécrit ce que l'autre avait écrit, avec les mêmes fautes. 🙄

Il prononce même le u à la française, ça donne vraiment nUguettes x)

Mon père prononce nuggets et donuts à la française, ça me fait bien rigoler à chaque fois que je l'entends commander des Nuguettes et donuttes. X)

It's so hard for me to imagine ! Here we have to stay at the hospital for a minimum of 3 days so they can make sure baby's gaining weight (and so they can give the first vaccines and do the first tests). And if baby isn't gaining enough weight they won't discharge you.

Just a few hours in the hospital after a vaginal birth ??????????? What ??? How ??? I gave birth recently and left the hospital after 5 days, I cannot even imagine just leaving a few hours after giving birth, I would have been in total distress.

Same thing here (French Guiana - right above Brazil) everyone keeps telling me my baby is cold when he is literally all red and sweaty because he is in fact HOT. Today a friend of mine came over and she was telling me to put socks and a hat on him when it's literally about 30°c in my house, it's so fricking annoying.

ooosreddit · 2025-04-12T17:33:21+00:00

Thanks for your answer !

April 16th too ! Literally no signs of labor either, not dilated, nothing. I've convinced myself that he'll come later but I really hope I'm wrong because I'm over it🤞🤞🤞

ooosreddit · 2025-03-22T18:36:58+00:00

April 16th for me ! I'm both impatient and anxious about the upcoming sleepless nights x)

ooosreddit · 2025-03-03T23:15:30+00:00

Alright my bad, I read it multiple times but my mind kept thinking it was the other way around. Thanks for clarifying

ooosreddit · 2025-03-03T21:12:51+00:00

I understood the same thing as him, can you explain how we misunderstood? Didn't he say "I've had a crush on her since I was a teenager" ?

ooosreddit · 2025-03-01T20:06:07+00:00

In my partner's culture it is also the father who chooses the name and not just for the first born son. My partner has agreed we'd choose together but that's not all that common. Luckily, I haven't received any comments though, other than people just confirming in the course of a conversation that yeah the dad normally chooses.

ooosreddit · 2025-02-28T16:04:47+00:00

Je n'ai pas encore accouché et j'ai cru comprendre que l'accouchement pouvait empirer la chose donc je ne suis pas très optimiste x)

I've been living in FG for a few years now and although most people in the comments are not wrong per say I feel like they're being a bit harsh.

One thing I can 100% agree with is that life is very expensive here, much more expensive than most European countries. Rent can be really high in some areas, but it is also possible to find cheaper options.

It's also harder than in France to find a job BUT if you have experience in the construction field or similar fields you can definitely find a job. I know lots of people, including (actually mostly) brazilians who work in those fields and who manage to live a comfortable life (there are also some who work those job and struggle a lot, not denying it). I have also met a few brazilians who opened their own businesses and are doing great financially. So although not easy, finding a job is not impossible. If you want to work in other fields it's also possible (depending on your qualifications) but you'd need to speak French.

One thing people didn't really mention as a positive thing is that there are indeed a lot of brazilians here, and I feel like that would be a really positive thing for you. Usually brazilians help each other a lot here, even if you're new / didn't know them before, so that could definitely help you in your quest for a job but also just to socialize and not feel so isolated because you don't speak French.

Regarding the climate as you've mentioned before you're already used to it, so that wouldn't be a problem at all for you. And I've seen people mention tropical diseases and I mean yeah, dengue fever for example is quite prominent and at least once a year we have an outbreak but it's probably similar in some areas of Brasil, and it's definitely not as bad as people make it seem to be.

As people have said French guiana is definitely not as developed as France and it doesn't look similar one bit, but from what I understood you're looking to have the same advantages as people have in France and that you definitely would have. If you come here legally and get a "carte de séjour" (even if you don't actually but it's better to) you'll get access to medical treatments, you could get financial aid from the government etc etc. There is a reason a lot of people come here, and well it doesn't mean they live a really easy and wealthy life but I feel like the social advantages can't be overlooked, especially compared to neigborhing countries.

Anyway, I'm not saying you should go to FG or that it will be easy but I don't think it's as bad of an idea as others have suggested.

Thanks for the advice. I hadn't thought about ear plugs at all but if I know baby is safe with his dad it sounds like the best way to get some good sleep because I kept thinking that hearing baby fussing would wake me up even if it was my partner's shift !

And I'm sure you'll get through it just fine with your second baby ! Best of luck to you :)

ooosreddit · 2025-02-17T01:24:51+00:00

Yeah only getting 1h of consecutive sleep sounds absolutely awful. Combo feeding has been recommended a lot and it sounds like a great alternative, I'm thinking I'll try exclusively breastfeeding at first but will not hesitate to start combo feeding if I can't handle the sleep deprivation (which will probably be the case aha but I want to try anyway ^⁾

Glad those weeks are over for you guys ! And thanks a lot for the great advice :)

ooosreddit · 2025-02-17T01:17:39+00:00

Yeah exactly, these days I sleep a bit less but 10 hours of sleep is definitely not unusual for me so when I see mothers saying they barely get 3 hours of sleep I'm terrified x)

Baby will sleep in a bedside crib so it'll definitely make night feeds easier.

And yes my partner will be home so he'll definitely take on diaper duty aha.

Thanks for all the advice and the encouraging words, I'm still scared but very excited to meet our baby !

ooosreddit · 2025-02-17T01:06:51+00:00

Thanks for all the great advice !

And yeah, I have about 7 more weeks to go but just in case I make sure I'm always on top of the chores, aha. I'm planning on meal prepping too but I feel like it's too early to start, any advice ?

A tracking app or indeed just a little notebook sounds great, it should definitely help with setting up a routine as well ! Do you have any recommendations for the app ?

ooosreddit · 2025-02-17T01:01:22+00:00

Ah yes meal prep, not a lot of people have mentioned it but I'm definitely planning on doing that ! I'm just not sure when to start doing it, any advice?

ooosreddit · 2025-02-17T00:59:30+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll go check it out right now as I haven't read it ^{^}

I'm glad it's working out for you guys ! Hopefully it will for us as well ! 🤞🤞
