Sorry if this message is a bit long....it's just the first time I'm expressing myself about this, so it may go on a bit!!
Just wondering if anyone else here is in a similar situation. I'm 13wks pregnant, and living and working in East Java, Indonesia. My home is in Wales, UK. I'm living with my husband, but we're pretty alone, as he's from another part of the country, which we can't visit often. I don't feel lonely, but I'm just so confused about what to do a few months down the line. We'd planned to return to the UK in the summer, but now we've a baby due at that time! So I'm confused...do I quit my job and fly back to the UK for the last few months, and to give birth, or do I stay here, holding my job, with just my husband for support until the day arrives?! I don't feel like uprooting myself, and it'd be hard with just my husbands income if we were to move to the UK for a bit. But, staying here, away from both our families, I can see will be tough.
I miss so much tasty food from Wales that I've been fancying, but other than that, so far, I'm not lonely or finding it hard though. I did have a bad 6 weeks or sickness, but now that that's passed, I'm feeling pretty normal most of the time. Just worrying about how we'll feel later in my pregnancy. My husband is so supportive that it makes it harder for me in a way, as he'll do whatever makes me happy....leaving me to make the decisions!
Sooooo....anyone in a similar situation, far from home, and confused about what to do?! I'd love to hear from you!!
