Preggy who lives alone at home

Hay, first congratulations mama! Ang hirap talaga ng setup mo, lalo na night shift pa, isang kaibigan ko na preggy din kaya nag-night shift, at seryoso ang adjustment, kaya take care of yourself muna talaga before baby comes. Since ikaw lang at malayo ang hubby, importante na may support system ka locally, kahit officemates o neighbors na malapit, para may tawagan ka pag may emergency or pag super pagod ka lang. Advice ko: inform your OB agad about your situation at night shift work, baka makita niya if need mo ng adjustments; hydrate super well lalo na at gabi, eat frequent small meals para hindi nag-low ang blood sugar mo, at REST talaga pag off-shift (pahinga lang walang household chores kung kayang kayang). Talk din sa hubby about a plan, monthly visit niya o video calls para kayo feel connected, kasi emotional ang pregnancy at kailangan mo ng support, hindi lang physical. Strength, mama!

Aw mama, that's tough, night shift at 3 months while solo at home, pero kaya mo yan! A few of us in our circle have been through LDR pregnancies, and honestly the hardest part is the exhaustion, kaya make sure you're eating enough at work (pack easy snacks like crackers and fruits) and resting properly kahit short your sleep between shifts. Get to know at least one trusted neighbor or friend locally na pwede mong i-call if you feel off, and don't hesitate to message your hubby about how you're really feeling, these months are crucial and he needs to understand. Try mo rin mag-prenatal check-ups regularly sa closest clinic/hospital in Iloilo, and join online preggy groups din para may makausap ka anytime, especially on night shift when you're awake at weird hours. You're not alone in this, mama, reach out, okay?
