Cheer Me Up?

Hello, mommies. Gusto ko lang maglabas ng feelings ko dito. I’ve been with my partner for 4 years now. We have always been in a “healthy” relationship naman. Kaso, by the end of 2022, we “grew” apart. Ang daming naganap sa buhay namin. Hindi ko na lang siguro ididisclose pero it affected us emotionally, mentally, and physically. Before we confirmed my pregnancy, nagkakaroon na kami ng conversations about our “disconnect.” And then boom, baby is confirmed. Kaya nahihirapan ako ngayon — carrying a baby while trying to hold on to our relationship. Ang hirap kasi I love my partner kaso siya yung mas nakakaramdam ng “disconnect” sa amin. Gusto ko maging positive para kay baby pero merong days na hindi ko kaya. Hindi kami live in kaya naman most of the time, ako lang mag-isa. I find myself staring outside the window — ang daming what ifs? By the end of my pregnancy, nandito pa rin kaya siya? Kaninong last name ibibigay ko kay baby? What if… Share ko lang, mommies. Just a way to release this sadness. Thank you! #firsttimemom

I want you to know that the sadness you are feeling is valid. Your questions are valid. We don't know really the whole story, and perhaps we cannot even say na you have to make ammends or you need to work things out kasi may baby na paparating. In my perspective, I am not a believer of "I have to fight dahil may anak na kami, I need to work things out with my partner for my baby to have a complete family". This is very wrong mindset knowing na you are already disconnected, that leads to being emotionally, mentally and physically disconnected. And having the baby for me is not the way na magwork ang mga bagay2 between the two of you. I hope you both will not take the advantage of that baby, you will work things out dahil gusto niyo, secondary nalang yung baby niyo. Kasi for me, it will look like yung baby pa ang reason it is a half solution, whereas if you will both decide to work things out, it will become a whole solution, bonus na yung anak niyo.. We don't have the right na pangunahan ka po, kasi at the end of the day ikaw at yung partner lang din naman yung mag decision sa relationship niyo. But my suggestions will be, prioritize po muna yung baby niyo, health niyo lalo na meron pong baby, hindi ko sasabahin na wag ka mag isip ng negative thoughts kasi hindi mo naman yan mapipigilan, but I'd rather say, know your priorities po for now, connect with family and friends whom you can lean on and trust, allow other people you love to take care of you and journey with you. There might be no light and happiness as of the moment, but please know it will pass. You will overcome this po, as much as possible talk to someone and vent your feelings po, in a way it will help na maibasan kahit konti yung pain and sadness that you are feeling.

Ohhh, I don't have really expectations that I could inspire someone with my comments.. But, your very welcome po.. I was just trying to put myself in the shoes of the person who posted this. And Yes, di kayo iiwan ng baby niyo when your baby will come out, it will give you extra joy and fulfillment sa buhay, kasi you have beautiful reason to live and move forward sa buhay, and that reason is your baby. I am sure mahirap ang pagdadaanan but God will turn your brokenness into beauty. ☺Virtual Hugs from Cebu City ☺☺Fight the good fight mga mommies!

Hi Mi, ininform nyo ba si partner regarding sa pagbubuntis ninyo? If yes and nothings change sa pagsasama ninyo, i think its better to think for your own and your child's future without him. mahirap pero kailangan nyo ng gawin, kasi like yung una ng nagcomment, if may baby na sana mas tumibay (pa at na) ang pagsasama ninyo dahil, you know, baby is on the way. like yehey. mabigat ang pinagdadaanan nyo ngayon mi, pero hindi ito ang oras para magmukmok mag isip sa relasyon ninyo ng partner ninyo, ang dapat pinagtutuunan ng pansin ngayon ay si baby. top priority nyo sya now. kasi remember, kung di man po ibigay ni Lord yang partner ninyo, meron sya ibang ibibigay sa inyo, at binigay na po ni Lord, yun ang baby ninyo. Sigurado ako si anak ninyo ang magbibigay ng pagmamahal at kasiyahan sa inyo. Trust me, been there done that po kasi hehe.

Hello mhi! tell ur partner about ur baby para aware naman sya at malay mo mas maging okay pa ang relationship nyo, mahirap talaga ang magdalang tao mhi lagi kang nag o-overthink lalo na't ganyan pala ang iyong situation with ur partner but remember na nakakasama din yan kay baby ang pag o-overthink and stress. Isipin mo nalang ang future with ur baby if ayaw na ng partner mo for sure ur family are there para sa inyong mag ina and always pray lang mhi si Lord God na ang bahala sayo, pakatatag kalang pagkalabas ng baby mo soon at pag nakapiling mo na s'ya masasabi mo talaga na worth it lahat. Stay safe and healthy mhi!

Diba dapat maging reason si baby na ayusin niyo yang relationship niyo? Kase isipin mong mabuti,nung mga time na feeling disconnected kayo tsaka dumating bigla si Baby which I see as a way para maisalba kayong dalawa. Don't you guys want to give your child a family? I think kailangan niyo mag-usap. Open up about sa mga hinanaing niyo. Try again. Kapag di na tlga kaya,then co-parenting nalang.

Omg sis same na same tayo. Kaso yung partner ko pag tinatanong ko if gusto nya kami makasama once i gave birth, walang sagot. And matay namin pagawayan yung pagiging snob nya regarding sa mga sinasabi ko like hello iyakin kali ako 🤣 nakakainis eh. On the other side, responsible naman sya and caring samin kaso may times na minsan feel ko ginagawa nya lang yun for the sake of our baby.
