any moms to be in egypt these days? advice

Hi I'm 16 weeks pregnant, my husband and I are living in Egypt until his immigration procedures are finished.
Are there any American pregnant ladies in Egypt who I could talk to and be friends with?... we can help each other with advice. Also its getting very lonely here, I live in a small village with my in-laws while my husband is gone all the time to work. Oh BTW no one here speaks English nor I Arabic. :( also have you foundyour Dr yet? I've been to like 5 or 7 different ones but they speak very bad English or don't speak English at all also their clinics have been less than clean lol.
My name is Kali, I'm about to be 21 and have been living in Egypt for about 5 months now. My husband thinks we're having a girl and Dr but we couldn't see anything to know for sure yet. :)

I'm hoping to make friends even if you aren't in Egypt that's fine just to talk and share pregnancy stuff with. Oh I'm a ftm too!

I feel alot of the same way. I had a big argument with my husband recently too about that, he is getting annoyed because he wants to just live his normal life when I have no life here without him by my side. I don't even go out. So after some time he is being a lot more considerate and staying home when he doesn't have to go out and we do more things together but still he has been getting bothered because I ask him to translate everything. (He's Egyptian and my Arabic is a little better than not knowing a single word of it lol) And want to go with him when he goes shopping or to visit people.
I would love to be your friend and visit with you via messages and comments! :) also if you have fb messenger or fb we can add each other there?

I'm in a similar situation albeit in turkey. Im from the uk my husband is turkish. I too live in a tiny village with his family ive been here since the beginning pf the year. He works every day so I too get very lonely. My turkish is alright I can get by. But I don't have any friends. I've literally just had an argument with my husband because he wants to go have some alone time with his friends.  I just feel isolated and alone all the time. I dont seem to have any fun unless its with him.
Im seeing a doctor here whos english is ok but my husband translates everything anyway.
