Hi all, DD#2 will be joining us in May, just shy of ODD's 2nd birthday. Will be delivering in Dubai but live in AD. Does anyone know of groups for newborns/ moms dealing with postpartum emotions? Not looking for a playgroup but something a bit more medical. Not looking for a psychiatrist either, but when ODD was born back home the 'baby blues' hit me pretty hard. There was a birth group I attended through my hospital, just new moms sharing challenges, with a parent expert from the hospital. Anyone know of something similar down here? Many thanks!

Also, I would be interested to know if moms who had bad baby blues once had it with subsequent kids? Just getting a bit worried. Thanks!

Hi Klee! I am due with no 3 in May too, live in AD but have decided to deliver in Dubai at AH. Where are you going in Dxb? My first two are 2yrs 4 months apart, this time there's a bit over 3 yrs difference I can tell you from my experience that your emotions do vary with each baby (v hormonally related) I found second time around it was much better, perhaps it would be good to chat off-board if you would like? let me know when you get my email ad and then I will remove xC edited to remove email ad <em>edited by caduku on 21/03/2012</em>
