S1E10 – First trimester

Let Peace Fill Your Body by  Sage Friedman

Gradually, within what I could, I took care of my pregnancy as much as possible. I ate healthy foods, did a lot of physical activity, and tried to read a lot about the subject. However, that was my last semester of graduation in Dentistry. In a few months, I would graduate and be facing the job market, and that scared me.

I remember that the workload of clinical activity was massive, and I had not told anyone that I was pregnant. I didn't want people asking questions or guessing at my life. Also, I didn't have the courage to tell my parents, because my mother always told me to finish my degree and leave with a diploma in my hands and not a child in my arms. And I also was not ready to tell it to my father, who had asked Axe to take care of me, remember? (S1E5). And then I began to experience one of the most challenging periods of my life, which was pregnancy. In addition to having no financial resources, living in a university student house, and having to work while studying to pay for my own survival, I needed to save money to buy the things a baby needs.

I thought a baby would need a lot of diapers, lots of clothes, toys. But do you know what the child would need most? Myself. Just as the baby was growing, I, as a mother, was also just being generated. Several questions ran through my head. What will the future of this child be like if we do not have financial conditions? Will I be able to get a job soon so I can afford to pay for daycare and work to buy us food? What if there are no spots left in public daycare? What should I do now? What would you do in my situation?
