LDR pregnancy

I am a wife of an ofw. We're married for 2 years and he'll be home in 6 months. We've been planning to have a baby narin but I have this sentiments na I want him to be by my side when the pregnancy happen. As for him, he don't want to miss the opportunity of working abroad again kasi mahirap ang process and on his part renewal nalang kaya mabilis nalang. We have a condo na binabayaran and nag s-support din kami financially sa family niya. What he wants is to have my mother with me while he's abroad and im pregnant. But for me, i don't want to be with my mom for the only reason na ayokong mag away or magkasamaan kami ng loob while on high with the pregnancy hormones kasi madamdamin ang mother ko. Last night nagkaron kami ng talk about this that lead to a misunderstanding kasi ang take nya is wag na muna mag baby kung ayoko ko kasi maraming binabayaran...and on my part, gustong gusto ko na magkababy pero I want him to be with me sa journey na yun. Thinking ko kasi iba yung mabibigay na support ng partner more than anyone else. plus the fact na you have someone na one call away whenever may emeegency or maselan yung pregnancy.Masipag yung asawa ko and I trust him more than he knows kaya alam ko na kakayanin namin kahit hindi sya mag abroad while im pregnant. btw i'm also working sa isang private company. #pleasehelp #EnlightenMePlease

I understand your sentiments, may point ka sa part na you want your husband to be your support system, tama ka din naman doon. On the other hand, may point din yung husband mo kasi he is being practical, kasi sabi mo nga marami kayong binabayaran. Are you currently pregnant? Or trying pa? I think wag niyo po muna pangunahan yung feelings niyo sa hindi pa naman dumarating. Kapag nasa peak ka ng hormones, the best person who can really understand your hormones is your mother kasi may experience na siya. I don't know what kind of relationship you have with your mom but hindi mo pa yan masasabi kasi hindi pa dumarating not unless nabuntis ka na tapos may experience kana with your mom during the pregnancy. Mahal po magbuntis, at meron kayong mga bayarin. I guess you need to talk more and meet halfway, anyways kahit nasa abroad naman asawa niyo he is still in your journey kasi everyday kayo mag uusap, sasamahan ka kapag uuwi siya, I get it that you want his presence in the entire pregnancy journey, pero tingnan niyo din angle niya or side niya then mag decide kayo kong sino kagcompromise.
