Pregnancy is a major life event not only for you but also for your parents. Some women who are pursuing a career may feel guilty towards expectant parents.
Today I'd like to talk about how to deal with your parents' feelings.
I enjoy my job! But soon I'll have kids...
After three or four years of working, when you reach what is considered a "mid-career" position, you'll get the chance to be involved in big projects and gradually realize the career you envisioned, and your work will become more and more enjoyable.
On the other hand, when I look at my personal life, I feel a sense of urgency as my friends around me are getting married, having children, and starting new lives away from their careers.
"I want to have children someday, but if I get pregnant, I wonder if I'll have to give up the career I've built up so far..."
"I'm enjoying my job right now... so when am I going to have children?"
You may have vague anxieties about your life and career plans somewhere in your mind.
Guilt arising from parental expectations
On the other hand, while parents are proud of their hard-working children, many also feel a mixture of excitement and anxiety about their child's pregnancy.
"What do you think about childbirth?"
"I want to have grandchildren soon."
"I wonder if my body is even capable of getting pregnant in the first place...?"
Some of the parents we spoke to felt the same way.
Of course, I don't want to worry my parents and I also want to reassure them.
However, some people may still be unable to give up on their careers and may feel guilty or sorry for not being able to live up to their parents' expectations.
Cherish your feelings
Even if you have the idea that you want to do something, you may be so concerned about your parents' feelings that your emotions waver and you may become confused about what you should really do.
Of course, there is no right answer.
However, for those of you who are worried and have lost sight of your true feelings, we hope that you will be able to value your feelings, be satisfied with them, and say, "This is what I want to do!"
If you have seriously considered the issue and come to an answer, I'm sure your parents will support you in the path you choose.
Above all, it may help ease any guilt you may have towards your parents.
Why not think about what you can do now to prepare for the future?
