I am at 25 weeks and I started thinking about getting stuff for the baby while I can still move around easily and do things on my own without a struggle. I live in my partner’s country and I moved here for him. I started talking about buying baby stuff and suddenly a lot of people from here started ridiculing me for it. I just want to have furniture assembled and all ready before I am closer to due date. I get easily anxious and like being prepared + I live in a foreign country, I don’t know any brands or baby shops, don’t have friends in here that would be willing to help/advise, health care is different and even children clothes sizes are different, so getting my head around everything is taking longer and it’s a bit more mental load than it would be where I am from - I would be able to count on friends and family. Here it’s just google & me, well and my partner but he always does everything last minute (or just doesn’t do things), which doesn’t make me feel like I can count on him in that matter. I am not asking or expecting anyone to do anything for me, I chose this life so I am researching, ordering, assembling and of course paying for everything on my own and I don’t take any benefits. Why does it bother people so much that i’d rather have things ready so I can be relaxed when it’s time and just focus on resting (and work..) later in third trimester. It’s not that surprising is it? Or am I really that weird?
