Hello, your post jumped out at me and I felt I had to tell you our experience. We had been in Perth for 1.5 years with 2 young children both at school, quite settled and happy, enjoying life!! Then we decided to have another baby-as soon as I was pregnant I was soooo homesick it was a shock! The hormones certainly kicked in and I wanted my mum!! The memories of our two children with their grandparents and knowing that the new baby wouldn't have that-broke my heart!! The thought of our children growing up without any extended family upset me on a daily basis-we decided to sell up and go home. We couldn't sell our house at the time, so stayed and got citizenship (So glad we got that) and had the baby there (best experience by far-the hospital midwives were fantastic) then we decided to sell up again once we had the baby. When she was 10 months old we sold our house and came back to the UK. At first everything was great-seeing family again, the beautiful green trees, even shopping in Tesco, we even decided to go for a fourth child!!! But, then reality kicked in and we deeply regretted coming back. We have now spent the last 3.5 years back in the UK and 2.5 years desperate to get back to Perth. Having bought a house here that needed renovating, we have had to complete that before doing anything. We are now finally at the end and looking at coming back this year. We will be financially worse off, but can't wait-even our two older children want to return. We do not have half the quality of life that we did as a family when we were in Perth. So, that's us, our lives have been on hold renovating the property in the UK, wishing we were in Perth! But, now we are ready to go back and finally start living again. I know it is hard when you are pregnant with no family, and I can't tell you what to do for the best, but remember, your very hormonal, which does effect the way you feel. Try and make more friends and get out, remember why you moved there in the first place. I wish you lots of luck with the pregnancy and any decisions you make. Jess xxx
