Hiya there,

How are you all? I'm Claire, and am living here in Adelaide (have been for two weeks) and my boyfriend Ben will be joining me once he finishes his current job in the UK in two months time (yes, am getting a bit panicky as am preggers too) and even though am enjoying it, am missing him and certain home comforts!!

Is the chat thingy working because that would be good to get to know each other, don't you think?!

Anyway, looking forward to getting to know you all in due course!

Hi Claire,
Welcome to Be.Maybe have a look at the meet ups and see if anything is happening in Adelaide.If you need to ask any questions about your pregnacy,doctors and hospitals lots of people on here will be happy to help Im sure.Two months will fly and your oh will be here.

welcome to Australia! I know it can be hard being separated from your OH, i was left behind in the UK selling our house with the two young kids for 9 weeks while my OH was here starting his job. hope everything works out for you, your very brave coming on ahead by yourself... and being pregnant! Do you have family here?

Oh hiya Emma (and irishblod!)!

Thanks!! Oh God tell me about it - it's a nightmare! After my initial infatuation stage (first couple of days), the rot began to set in and then was at the end of my tether with myself thinking 'Claire, why have you done this to yourself?' you know? It's just a bit horrid being on your own in a foreign country, even if everyone speaks English, isn't it?! You were very brave then by the sounds of it! No, I don't, which makes it even harder!! Hopefully will be able to make friends on here though!!

Did you have to come out ahead? Are you working? How far pregnant are you. I have just found out im pregnant again (well 14 weeks now). Time will fly and your OH will be here and it will feel like youve never been apart!

Ooh congrats!! Bet you're chuffed!! Yes, I did have to because was offered a job out here (only as a receptionist, but much better pay than my old job in the UK!) Am now 3 months (so bout the same as you!) Ooh I hope so! I miss M&S soo much though, don't you? xx

Hi Claire

Welcome to BE and congrats on your move to Adelaide and your pregnancy.

We are hoping to move to the Adelaide area too

Can I ask, how you got your job offer? It is possible (although highly improbable) that I could come out with my 2 LOs ahead of my hubby, if I got a job offer, but not having any particular quals, just work experience, I'm not sure if I would have enough appeal for an offer thousands of miles away IYSWIM.

Hope you don't mind me asking the Q and feel free to PM me if you don't wish to post details
