Hi guys,
just wondering if anyone out there has had to or knows anyone who has moved to France while pregnant or with a newborn baby?
I am a kiwi currently living in Australia with my husband who has lived most of his life in France. He can't seem to get any regular work here in Australia. Although he is working for an agency, sometimes he gets work all week and other times he gets nothing. I am working, so it's ok but in a couple of months I'll have to stop work and I get no maternity leave through my job.
He wants to move back to France within the next month as he can get a secure job straight away. I am just a bit nervous as it's my first baby and we would be far from my family (who are in NZ)and I don't speak any French. I was thinking to go after the birth, but I guess it's just as stressful moving with a newborn baby, but at least the birth would be done and I'd get a chance to see my parents and friends before we left.
It would mean that we may lose quite a lot of our savings though, due to my husband's unreliable work schedule.
I'm excited about moving to France, I know it's a fabulous country, It's just getting the timing right.
If you have any advice I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
