Any pregnant moms in Oulu?

Post by internatwoman » Tue Dec 02, 2008 2:08 pm

Hi,
Im new to Oulu, Ive been living in Finland for a year and a half, but in Jyvaskyla completing my studies. I am about to marry a guy in Oulu and will be moving there permanently from December. I am 13 weeks pregnant and wondering if there are other foreign pregnant ladies living there who I could possibly meet with and make some friends? Or is there a place for foreign mums in Oulu that I am not aware of? I have so many questions and well no real place to start from...or person to ask.
My finnish is not good, as well its just not :-) My husband to be is Finnish and so I assume it will improve.
Its just its my first baby and im kind of anxious and missing having my usual support network around me as I would have if I were at home. So was thinking maybe I could meet some other ladies in my position....or even ladies who have been through it already, and know more than me :-) Im finding the conventional forums on the internet all very stressfull as they are full of all the scary stuff and I just want to meet some people who are real and more in my kind of a situation I suppose :-)

Hi there,

I am Jen. I have been Living in Oulu for about a year and a half. I moved here from Scotland with my Hungarian husband. I am a student at the moment studying to be a teacher on an international programme. I found out around christmas that we are expecting our second child. We have a daughter who is 4 already. I don't speak Finnish either, maybe i should get around to learning at some point.

I can send my email/phone number through private message if you are interested.

Hi, wow thats so excellent! Im busy completing an international degree at the Uni in Jyvaskyla, so basically am also a student here too! I am now based permanently in Oulu though as im a the thesis writing stage of my degree, so I am here now! I would love to meet you/get in touch as well like i said, it may be nice to have some sort of support group who speaks the same language :-) And you have done all this before!! How do we go about contacting one another? My email for this site is one you could use, can you access it??
I dont really know how this all works.....

Regards,
Hayely
