Sofía Mother's experience of giving birth to a baby, everything is out of the plan
Sofía is a person full of relaxation. She has been a "strange child" since she was a child.
"My mother is a hardworking and patient person, and her father is a person who cares about nothing, and he is unconventional." When he was in school, Sofía would always ask some weird questions in class. Because in the morning, she was sleepy and stood by the classroom to attend class. Because the classmates were too noisy, she moved the table to the corner to study.
"
My dad didn't think anything, just be yourself if you say nothing is there. Yes, he is like this. The same is true for
"
Sofía's experience of pregnancy and giving birth is the same. After being married to my husband for nine years, they are independent and respectful to each other, often discuss current affairs together, and have a fierce dispute over major events in the world. Youth has passed by leisurely, and they feel that having children can be put on the agenda.
In 2019, Sofía went on business trips to many places in South America, Germany and Mongolia. After attending the CIIE in November, she wanted to check and adjust her body.
"
At that time, my classmate was in the physical examination center and told his colleagues not to do radiation tests for me because I was preparing to get pregnant. As a result, people found out, you have been eight weeks!
"
Sofía was still very happy to know this result, because if she knew it at the beginning, she would definitely be extremely nervous and would dare not do anything, which would also affect her rich journey to the world.
She didn't expect that she was so nervous: during the eight weeks of pregnancy, she often had times difference due to cross-border business trips, and her menstrual cycle was irregular, and she thought it was because she was too tired.
"
Others think I'm fat and ask me if I'm pregnant, I say I'm going to do sit-ups, I'm fat. It's really naive. They also feel embarrassed and seem to offend me. I think I'm really stupid, why are I so nervous and very funny.
"
An unexpected but reasonable pregnancy experience, Sofía concluded, "I am a very strange mother. But the child is very tenacious. Seeing me running around and eating irregularly does not affect the baby."
Sofía's daughter's birth process is also very dramatic.
9 weeks of delivery is coming, and the doctor said that she is relatively small and recommended a caesarean section.
That night she decided to have a caesarean section after a serious meeting with her mother. After hanging up the phone, I lay on the bed, my stomach started to hurt, and I turned left and right, but after 30 minutes, I still couldn't fall asleep. So I decided to go to the hospital for a check-up. She didn't bring a large delivery package that she prepared. Unexpectedly...
"I have opened four fingers, which is pretty good."
"I made an appointment for a caesarean section."
"I guess you can't wait for the doctor to come to work in the morning.”
Later she gave painless delivery . The next day, the baby successfully delivered natural delivery .
The first baby's pregnancy and birth process was so smooth, and asked her if she wanted to have another one? Sofía said she couldn't come.
"
Only once in life should live for yourself. If my husband can have a child, I would like to ask for two. For women, it is still difficult for me to do it again and sacrifice three years.
"

The philosophy of life in football, the way you have gone is to obtain
Sofía is not tall, but full of energy, and is a person who constantly fills the width of his life.
Work relationship, she has been to various cultural backgrounds, In a country with a degree of development, she likes to experience the local humanities and history on a business trip, and will find books specifically for this. After reading, she will also write some insights.
In her circle of friends, she often sees flowers and sunshine, and can feel her love and passion for life. When talking about the books she has been reading recently, the themes are all-encompassing, non-fiction knowledge and literature... She is a person who preserves a strong desire for knowledge, is good at thinking, and is very good at leaving herself a lot of time.
"
I get different knowledge points every day. Will remain curious, which will also make me take a lot of things very positively. I can talk to everyone, and there are no strangers to me.
"
Sofía has "language freedom" because she can freely switch between Chinese, English and Spanish . She admitted that she enjoys her work and life very much.
"
Work is life. Because I spend a lot of time at work every day, it is part of my life, so I don’t think that work and life can be separated. And when doing anything, you should not be utilitarian, you should be tolerant, and you should be positive.
"
Sofía is the chief representative of a Uruguay dairy company. She laughed at herself and said that her work was summarized in three words: selling milk. Dairy products from Uruguay from the South American prairie.
had a very sad experience in the early days of her job.
"When I started working,
"When I started working, New Zealand was mainstream, and milk from other places was called other, others. Many people have never heard of Uruguay. "At the beginning, she encountered walls every day and felt very frustrated.
"
I can't do this job, is it not suitable for me, or let others do it?
"
At this time, the optimism and warmth of Latin Americans infected her.
"
Uruguay colleagues are relatively optimistic. They said that our company has been exporting to the world for more than 60 years, and everything takes time, you can't be in a hurry.
"
They used Uruguay football to give Sofía an example. Uruguay, which has a population of only 3 million, has a place in international football because Uruguayan enjoys football. The famous former Uruguayan national team coach el maestro Tabaréz once said: "El camino es la recompense" (the road you have walked is to get it). They asked her to work with the spirit of the Uruguayan football team, enjoy the process and give her all.
"
Because you can't always think about whether you will win at the football scene, what you can do is to do your best!
"
This sentence is a very profound thing for her, and now it is her WeChat personalized signature -the path you have walked is your gain.
"
Just work hard and you may get it one day.
"
Sofía also understands that there are many reasons why one thing is not done, it is not necessarily your own reason, you need to relieve stress.
With this encouragement, Sofía began to let herself go. I often see her running with the small flag of the company logo in her circle of friends. When traveling around, she even checked in to , Chile . Others say you are so dedicated, but Sofía says it all comes from love!
"
Why? Because I treat it as entertainment, I just go to play. If I had to convince people to adopt my things today, I might be very frustrated and I had been living in depression for that period. But after that, I found out that I had to relax myself.
"
As a result, the dairy products sold by Sofía really slowly began to have customers. She felt that maybe the customers were out of compassion, or maybe they were moved by her optimism.
"
It is when you get familiar with it, some doors will slowly open to you, and it may have accumulated.
"
This is also a sales business tip shared by Sofía. Be persistent and let go; don’t be anxious or utilitarian; you must put down your posture to a certain extent, keep your mind calm, and get fun from it.
For the development of her career, she said she didn't think many things could be planned, and she didn't know if her next job would be better. If you cannot plan your future, you have been working hard on your current growth path.
"
I think the only thing that can be guaranteed is that I am making progress every day, I improve myself every day, I may know a little more today than yesterday, I have to maintain a good state every day, maintain my communication skills, etc., so I think this is the only thing that remains unchanged.
"
Meet interesting people, do fun things, work hard when working, and play fully when playing, which is the secret to her happiness.
Sofía's work has been encouraged and supported by the Uruguay Ambassador

Sofía's growth experience. After becoming a mother, you need
. Don’t prove that you are right
"
I remember Teacher Gao Lin said something, saying that you want to prove that you are right, or do you hope that things will go smoothly?
"
Sofía has strong communication skills, but after becoming a mother, family relationships will inevitably become complicated. There is an elderly person at home to help take care of the children, and she and her husband sometimes need to send WeChat messages when they quarrel.
They have an agreement - to go to and get off work together every day.
On this road, they will still argue about the hot topics of current affairs in a world where they are completely unrelated to them. This is also the time when they can communicate and communicate fully after having children.
"
When I quarreled before, I just wanted to prove that I was right. What did you just say? What did you say that day? Why did you think so? But my goal now is: we must solve and advance this matter, rather than spending time in useless arguments in order to prove that we are right.This change in concept made me slowly feel that it is necessary to solve the problem, and if you are unhappy, you will only feel uncomfortable.
"
. From now on, you should live a good life yourself and make yourself happy is also a compulsory lesson for people, especially those who have become mothers.
"
Because if you don't live a good life and you are unhappy, you will transfer your emotions to your family. You will feel that because you have children, you will live like this, and that will be unfair to the children.
"
When a mother is aware of her, her family may not see or say it. Sofía believes that at this time, we must firmly recognize ourselves and practice to those who do not need to affirm themselves through the recognition of others.
"
Sometimes we can focus on ourselves, develop our interests, and have some social networking. When faced with your choices and your decisions, don’t be wronged or complain.
"
This ability of self-affirmation will make you happy when you accompany your children and your family.
. Selfishness is a necessity for being a mother
After giving birth, Sofía will become more and more sensitive to age.
"
In the past, I called me Xiaotian, but now I am called Sister Tian. You will feel more and more that I still want to see more of the world. Anyway, I have less and less time, and I want to do some interesting things, so I am more selfish anyway.
"
This kind of "selfishness" is a luxury to be a mother, but it is also a necessity. Sofía also feels guilty because she returns home late. She has always been a person in many social activities and has learned to make choices. Sofía, who has always been "selfish", said, "The biggest change for me to have a baby is: responsibility and heart of responsibility. ”.
. To learn from children, be more tolerant
"
Just like sometimes when you lose your temper for a child, the child will still come over and smile at you. No matter what bad emotions are, they should not be "unable to get over", but will pass soon.
"
This is the last one.
As a working mother with a cross-cultural background, she deeply understands the benefits brought to her by rich experiences and broad vision. Sofía thinks that first we should cultivate children's confidence, and let her learn language well, because It is a window for every language, which will open a world, making you more inclusive, and know that different people’s ideas are different.
"
"I think for children, the ability to see the world is very important. Knowledge points can be solved through search, but I think learning language is to cultivate a person’s ability to see the world. I hope Emilia He is a confident and free person.
"
Beauty and home Q&A
-
-
Q: How do you view the relationship between beauty and home?
Sofía: Our family advocates minimalism . Yes, I personally advocate minimalism, so I think there is not too much. Organize and store at any time, and then be neat and less.
Q: Are beautiful clothes important to you?
Sofía: I pay more attention to practicality. For example, when I am on a business trip, I will think about whether I can throw it away from the washing machine when I buy clothes, and then whether the other one needs to iron it after washing, and then it is also easier to match the color. So I am a pragmatic person, a pragmatic person.
Q: What would it look like if you could have a perfect piece of clothing?
Sofía: For me, the perfect clothes can be thrown into the washing machine without ironing, and then you put the suitcase and fold it around. After taking it out, it can still be used by swaying it. It's more practical. There are also pockets, you must have one because you don’t like to hold a bag.
Q: What changes have happened to the selection criteria for clothes after becoming a mother?
Sofía: In recent years, it seems like I have found myself liking clothes with highlight colors. I used to say I bought black, blue, and white, but now I seem to like pink or bright colors. Why? I may think I am older, I didn’t know how to do it before, I used to think that others looked good in pink, but now I want to try it too.
Q: Do you like cashmere and mulberry silk? Do you know they are all China's "national treasure" mothers?
Sofía: I may not wear national treasures, I just need to wear cotton.
Q: Which one of your favorite items from family forever?
Sofía: That black short-sleeved piece is pretty good. Simple and atmospheric.
