Re: Pregnancy and Healthcare / Medical Plans - Shortly after arriving in the US
I once moved whilst pregnant, with all the trimmings from a multi-national company and a secure job for hubby sorted out, no worries about being presented with a big bill for medical care either. There's still stress, lots of it and this is why moving house and moving jobs are listed as 2 of life's biggest stress events. Google "stress and pregnancy" and if you're medically literate at all, stick with the research on pubmed. This was my third pregnancy, my second international move and I thought I knew it all and could handle everything. I became run-down and sick, my baby was born prem and almost died.
One of the reasons we're planning to relocate to the US is that my wife's family (mum, dad and sister) live out there and she misses their support and missed it a lot when having our 1st child. So the hope is that any stress about moving/starting a new life would be balanced out by their support.
