Make sure you're truly aligned before making such an important decision 💔🥺 1. What if one of us grows in a completely different direction? What happens then? 2. What happens if we stop having intimacy for a year — would you stay? How important is intimacy to each of us, really? 3. If life together gets boring, what would you do — leave, cheat, or find ways to grow and shake things up together? 4. Do we want kids? When? How many? And what if one of us changes our mind later? 5. If I become a full-time mom, how do we split finances? 50/50? Should the man cover more? What feels fair — not just traditional? 6. Where do we want to live long-term? 7. Who handles what at home — cooking, cleaning, bills, the mental load? Are we aligned on daily responsibilities? 8. Are you open to therapy when things get hard — or do you believe we should just “figure it out ourselves”? 9. Do you believe in sharing passwords? Where do we draw the line between privacy and secrecy? What are your must-discuss topics before getting married? 💭 Or — what didn’t you talk about that caused issues later on?

As a first-time pregnant woman in my mid-30s — running businesses and constantly traveling — I made a lot of mistakes 🫣 1. Moved 4 weeks before labor (15-hour flight across the world). I spent most of my pregnancy in Bali, and at 9 months, I flew to Germany to give birth. I know it’s extreme — and no, I wouldn’t really recommend it. But it felt right for me. 2. Our baby will be born outside of marriage. Even though we’ve been together for 9 years and had our wedding 2 years ago, we still aren’t legally married. German-Australian bureaucracy got in the way — and we just haven’t managed to finalize it yet. 3. Had no apartment ready for us or the baby. Finding a place in Düsseldorf was so much harder than I thought. The stress hit me hard — I even started having early contractions. 4. Met my midwife only 4 weeks before my due date. Most women start midwife support and birth courses halfway through. I delayed it all… 5. Traveled away from home without my hospital bag, passport, or Mutterpass. A few days ago, I felt mentally drained. When friends offered a quick getaway, I said yes. Of course, I started feeling mild contractions on the way and panicked at the thought of giving birth in a car… in a different country 😅 6. Still not sure what kind of birth I want. I’d love to believe I can do it naturally — but if I feel I can’t handle the pain, I’ll go for the epidural. I want to feel proud of my decision either way. 7. No proper birth course Only did one 30-minute birth prep session — yesterday, no idea how to breathe or push, no roles prepared for me or Jake. 8. Still working. Running a business while 9 months pregnant isn’t something you can just pause. I don’t feel ready to “let go” yet. I'm just a girl experiencing this for the first time, and I definitely haven't done it perfectly 🥹 What things did you get wrong during your pregnancy? Share your experience in the comments 👇
We met when I was 26 and he was 24 — both going through a big life crisis and craving change 🥹 We wanted to travel the world, build something meaningful, and create a strong foundation for our future. 🙅♀️ Why we didn’t want kids (before our 30s): – We were really happy with our life already – We loved our freedom and spontaneous plans – We knew our life would completely change – We were scared of constantly worrying – We’d have to make big sacrifices – No more proper sleep 😅 – Our relationship would shift — and not always in easy ways – Honestly, we were just scared 👶🏼✅ Why we changed our mind (a year ago): – We started craving something deeper – The idea of unconditional love started to mean more – Watching a tiny human grow into their own person felt magical – It began to feel like this might actually be the real purpose of life – We wanted the joy, the laughter, the chaos, the wonder – We felt ready to share parenthood and grow even closer as a couple – And one day… to see the world through their eyes when we’re old ✨ Who can relate?
