Pregnant overseas...

Is there anyone else here stationed overseas and pregnant? We had been trying for a year and a half when we got sent to Italy and we finally ended up pregnant about 7 months after we got here.

I'm feeling so lonely here, especially being pregnant. Anyone else stationed overseas and feeling the same way? I'm just having a really hard time. I guess I pictured being closer to family when we got pregnant since when we started trying we were near my parents. I just want to be back in the states. Anyone else?

I’m in s Korea. I sorry I don’t feel the same way about being lonely but I’m generally a pretty solitary person. Are you a part of any mom or spouse fb groups? Most of the people I interact with are online on those sorts of forums. My husband is usually the only company I want but I’ve never been one to have many female friends either. Can you join some kind of group near you even if it’s a civilian group? I think exploring the country and taking language & fun classes like art or calligraphy really makes me feel fulfilled. Plan a visit home or even better plan for family to visit you! You can show them around the awesome country you have the privilege to experience and live in.
