In terms of health care, it's been OK, perhaps even better than the UK in some respects. Even though my doctor and I don't speak each other's languages fluently, we do manage to communicate somehow. Like LollyLarkin, though, I feel there are some things she just doesn't tell me because she doesn't know how / can't be bothered to explain in English so I've had to figure them out for myself. Also, I recently found out that certain things just aren't available here, for example, gas and air. And they haven't even heard of birthing pools. For pain relief, it's an epidural or nothing. It's not at all how I wanted it to be - I expected to at least have a few different options - so I'm slightly more anxious than I think I would have been in the UK.
However, the main issue is the loneliness and isolation. I often feel like I'm invisible here. I have no friends or family in this country, so there's no one to vent to about the minor everyday things, which then start to build up and wear me down. Also, I don't know if it's the same everywhere now but I'm constantly surprised and disappointed by how rude and inconsiderate people can be here - not holding doors open for the person behind them, not offering their seats on public transport, pushing people out of the way on the icy, snow-covered streets - even when they can see you're heavily pregnant, exhausted, and struggling to stay on your feet. It's actually kind of scary sometimes.
Then there are the more trivial things, like not being able to find the food you want to eat (food is really bad here, mostly junk food-type stuff, not much choice for veg or salad dishes) or the things you need for the baby (most products are pretty low-quality compared to the UK).
I know these aren't real problems, so I don't want to bother my friends with them, because everybody's got their own stuff to deal with, and I can't talk to my family about them because they obviously don't care. But I can't pretend these things aren't getting to me.
