This will out me totally in RL, so if anyone knows me please keep it quiet.
This could be long....
Dh moves alot with his job. We are not from the same home town and now live somewhere totally neutral from our hometowns but very far away from mine. We have a fantastic relationship and our expecting out 1st dc on early may. But we are scared how "on my own" we will be when the baby is born, we will have NO support.
My family live in the midlands (mum,dad and sister) and out of the blue, dh has been offered a fantastic job in Birmingham. We have accepted and he moves in two weeks! He will stay with my family. I have asked my company for a transfer, they have said yes if there's a position available (I wok in retail for a major company) I have looked online and there are full and part time positions in Birmingham avalible. My company have said they will release me from my store on the 31st December, but have not told me anything about the job in Birmingham. I asked my manager if my area manager had mentioned anything after a meeting last week and she said no, but it's ok coz I could just go on maternity leave in jan. I don't want to, it's too early! I only get 6 weeks at 90% then statutory. I wanted to take 4 weeks holiday in march and finish in April. My area manager also hinted they might offer me the part time position, but surly I'll get less maternity pay if I do the last 2 months part time? I have worked full time for 10 years! My whole working life and I feel they are trying to take my right off me.
Also, they are really dragging there heels with going me answers and I'm scared. I need to move house, find a hospital To give birth in and I really wanted to go to mother and toddler groups, breast feeding groups ect. I wanted to move ns of December to settle in. I just think I will be on my own here till the end of February, big pregnant and Lonely! My dh is desperate for m to mov with him.
Oh I'm rambling! I'm sorry, I don't really know what I want to know. I just want some help. I just want go know everything's going to be ok. And I'm doing the right thing by putting myself under stress now for my family. I have visions of me going through all this and not being able to make friends in our new area. I just can't sleep worrying!
