Hi, I was supposed to be a May due date (17th) but the little girl was very keen to arrive so she became an early April baby instead. She turns one month today time really does fly by. It is all good now though, she stayed at ICU for 8 days then came home to us. Its still a bit unreal to have a baby around and to wake up for feeding every 3 hours. The broken sleep is a killer, I am amazed how ever how well I am actually coping with so little sleep. Guess its human nature of being a mum or something. She is still under 3kg so I need to wake her up for most of her feeds. Looking forward to when I don't need to have the alarm clock turned on at night time. Hope you are all feeling well. My delivery was one of the quickest they said at American where I gave birth. I arrived just after 09.00 and she arrived herself at 11.15. I honestly can say it was quite painless as well, she was so quick I did not have time for any pain reliefs, but then again she was only 2.2kg when arriving so that might have had something to do with the fact that it just said pop. :-) Good luck everyone. Like @Stargazelily1 said hope to meet you all with your little ones once you have all settled in to some kind of routine. xx

My due date was yesterday and so far nothing! Been having period like cramps off and on for about 3 weeks but after a quick check yesterday, baby still high in the pelvis and no dilation. With DD1 i had period cramps for a few hours before she was born but this babe seems a bit too comfy! Dr says she will let me go 10 days over before intervention as long as movement still good which it is thank goodness. Frustrated because am really waddling now and struggling past 1pm most days. Feel sorry for DD1 as she is used to such an active mummy but is now having to contend with a sleepy, slightly grumpy mummy. Know it wont last forever but have been counting down to due date and now well...........

Just practical stuff like what do you need to bring, do you have to subscribe up front, and how much does it cost? Also, do you need to be in good shape (cos I'm not...)? Thanks Wear loose clothing, trainers. Can bring along LO if you already have. Yes you sign up for a 4 week block but so far i have been paying as i go 50aed/class.No dont need to be in good shape (im not). Bring a towel and water. They also have a class in Al Brasha park on a wednesday morning at 9am at the front gate and can also bring LO in a buggy.

Hello ladies Half way! I'm better with the morning sickness, but feel like I do nothing but sleep all day... Very frustrating! I do feel the baby kicking a lot, which is such a wonderful feeling Can you tell us a bit more about those classes at Ductac? I had a look on their website, but couldn't find anything. They sound interesting! I've been looking at prenatal courses in the area of Mediacity - Lakes - MOE but they should be in the mornings as my DS is home from nursery in the afternoon. So far without success :-( So these Ductact lessons sound perfect :-) The classes are held in Ductac mall of the Emirates at 10.15am on a Monday in the Chaloub room, you can bring your LO. They have an enclosed place with mats and lots of toys and the LO's run around whilst us mummies to be (again) do some gently preganncy desingned excercises. Not really sure what else you want to know?

Stargazelilly1; The classes are held in Ductac mall of the Emirates at 10.15am on a Monday in the Chaloub room, you can bring your LO. They have an enclosed place with mats and lots of toys and the LO's run around whilst us mummies to be (again) do some gently preganncy desingned excercises. Really niceinstructors who go at your pace. I am defo going this monday so if you fancy it then come along. Will probably go for a coffee afterwards and feed DD her lunch. Beetles 19; You can travel with a certificate after 27weeks up to 36 weeks. Cannot travel after that unless its an emergency or death in the family. Airline will need to see death certificate and you need some really expensive insurance. I gave birth here and had my parents arrive a week later as DH went back to work and to be honest couldn't wait for them to leave and get into a proper routine in our house. Too much conflicting advice wanted to get to know DD but couldnt really do so till the parents left. Will not be making that mistake this time. Cakes: Feeling good but get tired out so easily,no swelling as yet but know it will eventually creep in.

Hi Ladies! Im also due on May 16. I just had an anomaly scan last week as well and the radiologist said it "might" be a girl! I started buying some "pink" stuff but DH said it's too early since it's not yet sure if it's really a girl! (he wants a boy anyway!) :) I might not give birth here as I do not have anyone to take care of me after giving birth. We decided to give birth in our home country but DH will be here because of his work. It's our first born and I dread the thought of giving birth without him... :( I'll be travelling for 7-9 hours by plane and any ideas until when I can travel? TIA!

Hi Nutty and Sal Im up for meeting up. I have a toddler also, so a child friendly coffee place would be great if we meet in the afternoon. Where & When? Nutty, can you please tell me more about the Blooming Fit classes on a monday please. I would love to join. I had the 20 week scan last week and we decided not to find out the gender of the baby...although like you Sal, I may very well change my mind later on!!! Thanks

Hi, i didn't find out the gender of my first born DD and thought it would do good to buy everything in neutrals incase the second was the opposite gender. Well now i'm going to have 2 girls and am going a bit pink daft! LOL! I delivered atAH and have only have great things to say about them. Have visited friends in City but cant comment on them firsthand. I would be up for getting together with other mums to be but would have to be in a child friendly place for me as gone are the days of a quiet coffee and full conversations. If that doesn't put you off then would love to meet up or i do a gentle fitness class for pregnant ladies called blooming fit on a Monday at Ductac 10.15am or on a Wednesdat at Al Barsha park at 9am for anyone who wants to join? <em>edited by nutty on 18/01/2012</em>

congrats Nutty on having a girl! You can enjoy all the baby shopping now. We have decided not to check the *** and want it to be a surprise. It's not as easy as I thought and I think i might just change my mind! I'm now on week 21 (can't believe how fast time is going by!) This is my first pregnancy and I was wondering if all of you have decided on which hospital you were delivering at. I was looking at both City and AH and have heard better things about AH. I'll be going on a tour sometime in Feb. I currently live in the marina and would love to get together with some other may mommies. Please let me know if anyone else wants to meet up. :)
