I really need some advice and support - please

[tracymargot]

Hi,
I am so lost at the moment. I need support and advice

I'm 20 years old married, currently pregnant with my first {28 weeks pregnant} and living abroad. To cut long story short me and my husband separated (not divorce) about 2 month ago and ever since things have been bitterly hard for me here - have no income whatsoever and been living with a friend. Enough is enough I have decided to go back to UK but now I am not sure how will it all go when I get back to UK. I mean will NHS take me been outside the country for more than 2 years? Will I be entitle to any benefits as I have nothing until I am able to sort my self out?

I am so lost, every night I cry my self to sleep. Everything seem to be so messed with my life at the moment and when I think about my baby its even more pain full. I am not even sure why I am writing this here but I just don't know what to do any more.

Thanks for listening.

P.S: Hope i have posted this in the right section.

Please don't worry. I've been where you are. You will have no problem when you come back to the UK. One thing about this country is that they do look after you (when compared to some other countries). You will be entitled to all.
Come home x

It WILL get better and yes, if you are a uk citizen you are entitled to free NHS care.

At the moment it all seems hard but once your little one is born and you settle in the uk life will get back to normal.

I'm sorry that you are on your own and pregnant. Think about your beautiful newborn and stay strong.

All the best!

I know a lady who came back from Cypress (army wife) and she had no problems getting benefit, nhs treatment etc.

As long as you are a UK citizen still you can come back to the UK.

Is your husband likely to make it difficult for you? I would say if you're going to come back do it soon, certainbly before you have the baby. Your ex may go to court to stop you leaving with the baby once baby arrives.

What country are you in? If you are far away am need to fly airlines will only let you fly up to a certain number of weeks pregnant and usually require a doctors note if close to their max weeks pregnant. It varies between airlines as to which week, but please bear that in mind.

Come home! Will be good to have you back!
