I,m pregnant with my first. It was planned but i dont know if we planned it enough as in we moved last sept to Huntingdon from West Sussex, a 3-4 hour drive away from friends and family.
After nearly a year of living here we have not made any friends, our neighbours are alot older than us.
I am worried that i just cant do this without my friends and family support e.g driving me to hospital, doctors etc.. when OH at work, babysitting, being a new parent and wanting some help and advice from other mums especially mine, visting me in hospital etc...
I want us to move back to west sussex so i can have this support because i am completly on my own up here when husband at work but we cant afford house prices down there, so would have to move in with parents, location not good for our business, we would have to try and sell our house now before or after the baby is born.
I just wanted to find out if you guys have friends and family near by to offer help and support, how close are they, do they help, can you live without their help, is it essential that they are nearby, did you relocate to have the support???
Any advice appreciated
