Hey ladies, I know there's a ton of posts on the right docs and the right hospitals to deliver but I think I'm stuck with another issue. I have a good doc but she doesn't deliver near me. I would just imagine being in labor and having to fight Dubai traffic for half an hour just to get to the hospital. Have any of you had a problem like this? Can you share your experiences?

Just for FYI, my doc delivers at Medcare and I would love to deliver at City Hospital but don't know any of the docs there or if my current doc would be offended if I asked her for a reccommendation.

Fingers crossed you have some lovely insight ;) Thanks all! :D

I live in the springs and will be delivering at City as I've been led to believe (both through my own experience and other recommendatiosn) that this is the best place to deliver and my doctor who I've been seeing for 12 months delivers there so I'm happy with that. I was initially very worried about the distance between my house and the hospital, especilly when my husband works in AD, but having been to ante natal classes now, I feel much better about the stages of labour and how long it will all likely take. Our doctor also delivered at Medcare but her non-commital but implied recommendation came to city. If your happy with your doctor, I'd stick with Medcare (i'm guessing you live closer to city??) or get researching on different docotrs. Our doctor is Dr nirmala, and she's just moved to Dr Suliman Al habib (Sp??) across the road from city. Again, not ideal from a traffic perspective for out last few appointments but having a doctor we were very happy with was more important, same with the delivery (Saying this, you can guarentee i'll go into labour about 7pm on a thursday night when theres been umpeen crashes on SZR and my husband has left work late lol) but we really like her, but i understand a couple of people on here didn't take to her. Its all personal experience and perspective.
