@mummy3: I moved to France for my first job out of uni where I studied French. I'm as fluent as I guess you can be for starting a language in your teens. I met French DH within my first year here so decided to stay. It wasn't easy with all the immigration paperwork that it requires, but hey, the French LOVE their paperwork. I went through my first pregnancy and delivery here and have to say that the health system here is fantastic for mums. Everything is covered 100% after the 2nd trimester and my delivery was "free". There isn't much support for breastfeeding and SAHMums since it's considered quite old-fashioned and "backwards" to do/be either. So since then I've been blazing my own trail. I figure everyone just rolls their eyes and chalks it up to me being "une americaine".
