I'm worrying already.

Well, many of you know that I'll be moving to another country in the end of October and (to complete this insanity) I'm also pregnant.
I'm wondering what will I do being with my child and a newborn in another country, w/o any family / close friends to call and ask for help if I need.
So, any of you has any experience about having a newborn and being w/o anyone close/near to call for help if needed and having another child to care? Please tell me I can do this and share your wisdom with me. I really, really, REALLY am losing my mind trying to figure out how to do this.

P.S. Sorry for the vent.

you can totally do it...I had all 4 of my kids with no family around and we made it. I even went back to work at 8 weeks with all of them so had to find daycare and everything! The military tends to move you around so I didn't really have a choice. My son was actually born in Italy and my Italian neighbors were the BEST {and didn't even speak English}. So embrace your neighbors and make friends and you can do it

I agree with Angie. You CAN do it. Get yourself into a positive frame of mind, and it won't seem half as hard as you imagine. You are stronger than you think.

You CAN definitely do it, Giseli! Don't be afraid!

Giseli, you can totally do it!! ((hugs))

I totally get why you're anxious, and can't talk for myself, but most of my colleagues who have babies are in your situation - away from the home country, no relatives to help out.

It's true that Slovakia and Lux are closer than Canada and Brasil, so some of them do have Mums coming over to help out, but lots of them don't have this possibility and they manage. So can you! *hugs*

Oh, girls you are THE BEST! Thank you very much! I hope you know how those words are important to me right now.
When we are afraid, facing the unknown, we tend to think we're the only ones who have to go through such thing. I confess I forgot I can't be alone if I keep God in my heart.
I am a lot more confident. A lot more encouraged. Thank you!

I was pregnant with my middle son and had a 2 year old when I had him to care for. I had family and friends I could call but none of them would help me with her or him really. It was very hard but I managed and you will too!!
