My husband and I moved to Oregon in 2020, before we had any kids, leaving both of our families. Since then we've had two kids and I'm pregnant with our third. We chose to move back to NV at the start of April this year so that our kids could have family around and so that we would have a village.

My husband has been on track to open an insurance agency for 2 years now, getting licensed and all that jazz. There are opportunities to interview for an agency available now where we lived but we recently found out that Nevada won't have any of those opportunities for another 2-3 years. His boss asked him if he'd be willing to interview for a Washington position, meaning that we'd be moving back in the next couple months if he gets hired. My husband told his boss yes.

I'm nervous about leaving family again, but ultimately I know this is important for our future, financially. I also personally prefer the PNW climate/ culture wise. I'm just struggling to cope with leaving behind my family again after just starting to have support. Seeing my mom spend time with my kids is priceless and I'm afraid she'll be heartbroken when she finds out. I'm wondering for those of you who have moved away from support, do you wish that you hadn't?

I keep crying but I'm not sure if it's pregnancy hormones. Ultimately I know this business opportunity is going to make a huge difference for our family. Even if he opened his business here I'd still want to move back to Oregon at some point. I wish I could just transplant my mom there as well

Sisters are Evi Claire and Miriam Elise. I love Raena but I've also been decided on Aspen for some time. Baby is due mid november. What middle names would go with Raena? Is the spelling too off?

I have two kids. They're 1 and 2. The older kiddo refers to my belly baby regularly. It's depressing because it feels like I shouldn't want this child. My marriage is struggling, we are hardly making it financially and I want to go back to college. But having another child would put that off.

I've been a stay at home mother for 3 years. It's really hard on me but since finding out about child #3, We moved back to my mom's city for her help and support. She seems pretty certain that I should abort and she even booked an abortion for me for thursday. neither her or my husband can take the day off so it would have to be my stepdad taking me which I hate. I cannot stand the idea and it's not right for me. I'm between 13-14 weeks pregnant.

I feel really connected to the pregnancy and the fetus. We haven't had insurance since moving states April first so we haven't been going to obgyn appointments and I haven't gotten to see ultrasounds at all. My husband is going to be opening a business within 6 months of me having the third and I just know it would be soul crushingly hard. But I can't fathom the grieving of an abortion. Nobody in my family has ever had one. I feel sick with confusion about this and I wish I knew instinctively what was right. It's so unfair how this decision solely weighs on me alone. Everyone around me can speak objectively but they don't know how it feels for me.
