I have recently moved to another country for a year to live, I have left my boyfriend, my family and my friends. Over the last few weeks I have had symptoms of pregnancy, missed period, headaches, back pain, nausea, darkened areola, cravings, am I pregnant or could these be symptoms of home sickness?

Homesickness will not give you a darker areola that's for sure.

So far you do show the signs of pregnancy. Have you taken a test?

Sarah

No I haven't, I'm too scared to and I don't know how to get one where I am. Stupid I know.

Too scared? You weren't too scared when you were having sex. Pregnancy is just one of the responsibilities that come with that.

I am sure there is a doctor, a walk-in clinic, a drug store that you could get a urine test. It's not that hard.

OR you could wait 9 months and see if your pregnant.

Well yeah it is a little harder than that. I have been looking in chemists and can't see them and I still don't speak the language very well. And excuse me, I use protection every time I have sex! And am very careful about condoms and things slipping off, so on my part I have covered myself for this kind of thing. And I know my boyfriend is the same, so if I am pregnant it is one of those 3% babies!!

Where do you live? Does your boyfriend speak "the language", if so then why is not helping you find a doctor- have you told him this yet?

You can always buy pregnancy tests online; a little more expensive but it is a way.

Sarah

I am living in France and my boyfriend is back home. And no he doesn't know yet because I want to be sure before I tell him. And I didn't realise you could buy them online. Is it not risky though?

Yes you can.

Here are some sites that you can trust; see if they ship to France.

Thank you

Isn't there a hospital in the town your in? I'm sure they have English speaking people there.

You can say or write on a sheet.
