Moving to a new country without having a support system outside her husband, no job lined up, an imperfect grasp of the language, and a newborn would be terrifying. Honestly, would that be something you could EVER see yourself doing? Give the girl a break.

That said, I do think she should take some of her maternity leave down-time, buy a Rosetta Stone program, and ask her husband if they can revisit this idea in a couple of years, when her kid is a little older and she's a little more sure in her relationship.
