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!
