Oh honey, I feel exactly the same! There's nothing better than mum hey?! I miss her food and her chats and just generally her. I know if she lived closer she'd look after me and I wouldnt need to worry about what I'm going to cook today etc. Planning on staying over at mums soon, but even that doesnt make me feel better

With our first child we lived in Denver Colorado and all of hubby's family lived in Utah. All my family are in Canada.

This time around we are back in Utah, so we have his side of the family, which is nice, but mine is still all in Canada.

Mum came out to visit us a few weeks ago. But you're right, it just isn't the same.

I'm so grateful for phones and internet and web cameras to chat with my Canadian family members. Never forget about web cameras! They are an awesome way to visit from far away.

Yep- I live in Japan, but my Mum is in Australia and my Dad lives in New Zealand- thank goodness for Skype!

I live in the US.
And my whole family lives in The Netherlands , Europe!

I wish my mom and grandma could be here when the baby is here, but my grandma is afraid of flying and my mom is poor!

I do talk to them on MSN messenger though and facebook!

 

[Soph22]

me too! I'm going to try skype for the first time this weekend with the parents to break the good news. Soooo wish it could be in person though!

Me its really tough. DH and I are from Scotland but we emigrated to Canada 4 years ago... I missed my mum and dad dreadfully. I missed not having anyone come to visit when last baby was born it was a bit sad. The tough part is just not having any support... since our family live 7500km away its hard. We have asked my mum to come over for the next birth primarily so we have someone to look after Euan.

We are considering moving back to the UK to be closer to family and so that our kids can grow up with grandparents.

Thats exactly what Im going through, I live 800 miles away from all my friends and family.
I live in Cincinnati while they all live on the Gulf Coast.
My boyfriends family lives here, but they arent terribly fond of me, so I feel so alone, its awful.
What really gets me is that when I got the first positive test I immediately called me mom and grandmothers as I was too excited to keep the news to myself. Whereas I left it up to Adam when we tell his family, and I want them to know because if something should happen they are the only people I have up here, it would be nice to be able to count on them, but everytime I mention telling him he just ignores the subject, I know that hes not ashamed of me or our baby, but my hormones have convinced me otherwise.
Sorry about ranting, its just a lonely situation, Id give anything for my mom to be here with me and experience this with me.

My situation's similar, but not as bad as yours, so I really feel for you (and all of you! Big hugs )

We moved near DH's family when I was pg last time, well, 3wks B4 I gave birth actually!!!, and although I like my home and the area, I don't have anyone round here that I feel I can really get on with. DH works away all week so scans, appointments, even just shopping trips, I do alone.

I met my other half whilst at uni (250 miles from home town) and so have stayed down here after graduating with him as its his home town - it suits me better career wise etc but I do miss my family ALOT. SInce finding out Im pregnant my Mum really wants us to move up there - Im an only daughter and I know she doesnt want to miss out. However my other halfs family is tiny (mine is huge) and I know how much they would miss us. Its difficult - personally I would move up there in a second as I reallllllly want to be with my parents round this special time but its not fair on OH or his family!

We're moving to the other side of the world from my parents in two weeks and I know I'll miss them like mad. But we'll talk a lot on the phone and they plan to visit us at Christmas and we'll be back a few months after the baby is born for a christening.
