Hi, I have just recently moved from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and I'm looking for any bumps & babes. Would love to meet up. I'm 6&1/2 months pregnant with a 3yr old son. Also if anyone can suggest any antinatal classes in AD would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.

Cats, Nic25 and Teeny. Welcome to AD. You may know this already, but there is an association called Abu Dhabi Mums, which has almost daily groups, BUmps and Babes, toddlers, things for kids up to age six, parties, mums' nights out, discounts etc. etc. It's a great way to meet new people and get settled. http://www.abudhabimums.ae/ There is a social every second Tuesday of the month at The Club, where you can join, or you can drop your form off (download from their site) in an envelope with 100dhs and leave it at The Club reception. (You can tell the gatehouse that you are going to do this and they will let you in - or give it to someone who is a Club member to drop it for you) <em>edited by elephantrjm on 25/01/2011</em>

I just call the main hospital number (4446655) and ask to be put through to the gynae department, and make my appointments there. He has given me a scan himself, but when we needed a more detailed scan to check a potential problem, he referred me out.

can I have his number please?. Today I am 7 weeks, and so far I have seen the general doctor once for general pregnancy exams but she told me that by week 8 I could go for a sonogram, but I would prefer going to an Obs and not just a general doctor. BTW, does he do the sonograms himself or he gives us a referal?. Thanks a lot.

hi - I'm seeing Dr Marwan. I'm really pleased with him - I've only had 3 appointments since moving here, but each time he has been very thorough, and really great at explaining everything to me.

Hi. I recently moved from Dubai to AD too, and i'm 7 1/2 months pregnant with my first baby! I have booked an antenatal class with a lady called Caroline Roberts , which sounds really good. Her website address is http://www.b4baby.me . She also mentioned the group who meet at Jones the Grocers on a Wednesday night. Apparently its from 6pm, although i haven't plucked up the courage to go yet! Maybe this week :) There are probably classes through the cornich hospital (i never asked). I'm giving birth at Al Noor, and was told the antenatal class co-ordinator was on annual leave, and they couldn't give me a specific date when classes would start! x <em>edited by Teeny on 24/01/2011</em>

La Leche League (breastfeeding information and support group) meet in Abu Dhabi, if that's of interest. Contact info is in the "Breastfeeding Support in the UAE" thread. xx

Hi Cats, I have also just moved from Dubai to Abu Dhabi and i''m 7 months pregnant. If you search on the Abu Dhabi site, I found a group that meet on a Wed night at Jones the Bakers. I've not managed to go yet but might try this week?
