Is anyone homesick?

Hi everyone! I'm 38, first time preggers and been here in Ireland just about a year. I'm wondering if anyone is feeling extra..well, everything seems extra right now 😂But say extra emotional, or even homesick? Originally from Malaysia, don't usually miss it - until now!! Would love to hear from you ladies, hope everyone is surviving the 1st trimester OK 👍

Yes things and your perspective totally change when you are expecting and emotions can be totally heightened! You always want to be closer to family for sure when you're expecting too! Hope you go easy on yourself...it's definitely normal to feel that way as it's such a life altering change. So normal to miss them even though u normally don't!
Try to video call as much as you can!

It's my second baby and still breastfeeding first so I'm super exhausted running around after another little one. Otherwise mainly over the worst of the nausea. But generally better symptoms all round for me second time round thankfully 🙏🙏

Not an easy time especially since you haven't been here a long time, but hang in there you ll have some nice company in September! 🥰🥰 I ve been living in Ireland for nearly 4 years now but I have managed to make some friends and sometimes I enjoy being by myself especially now. I spend most of my time reading about pregnancy or making online courses, I am 36 years old and it s my first time, no clue what I am doing but I take it as a new project.

Hi, I'm 12 weeks pregnant at the moment and how you feel is so normal! Your perspective on life changes when you know you are carrying a baby. Try to video call your family as much as possible. It's my first time pregnant too at 33 years old. I was in Malaysia 6 years ago. What a great country and lovely weather! 😃

women are amazing! You never know your strength until you become a mother and you keep surprising yourself. Definitely didn't think I could get through it but we always do! ❤️ Hope you are feeling ok! Enjoy all the rest you can get and pamper yourselves as much as you can this pregnancy! You learn to take any opportunity you get second time around lol 😂😂

@Adelina I have to confess I've become quite 'hermit'like myself. Despite the homesickness, I've been feeling quite homebound and happy to focus (re: borderline obsess) on this pregnancy. Good point about the company in September! :))
