Hi all this is my first post on the forum, apologies if this is in the wrong place.
My wife and I are confirmed Italian devotees and love everything about the place. We've just had the fantastic news that my wife is pregnant for the first time, which has made us start to ask all kinds of questions about our future. One thing we are seriously considering is relocating to Italy. We both have high pressure jobs that are starting to wear thin and we're in a position where we could (just about) take 6-12 months on sabatical. With a hope that we would either then decide to stay and settle in Italy or return to the UK.
Are we nuts considering this with a new born baby?!
Neither of us speak Italian, but I don't see that as a major hurdle, my biggest concern is regarding access to medical facilities should anything happen with new born and the lack of a familiar support network. I've lived in Turkey for about 6 years and didn't really have any issues.
If we aren't raving lunatics and this could actually work, does anyone have any suggestions on where would be a good place to be, any tips or suggestions?
