Hi all,

I'm currently 12-weeks pregnant with twins, I wondered if there are any other women in Dubai due around the same time (with both multiples and singletons!) that would be interested in sharing experiences and possibly meeting up?

Hi ladies! I juzt gave birth to my beautiful baby girl on 24th of octobed, one week exactly after her due date. I had a great labor for 12 hours then 2 hours of pushing with little progress which sadly ended with an emergency c section :( anyhow, would love to get together wifh some other new october mamas! :)

Our son was born on the 9th of Oct via emergency c section after my VBAC didn't progress and previous scar began to give away. All is well now, and we are getting to know each other. Happy Deliveries to the rest of the ladies here!

Hi all, I am actually due on 11th Nov, so I hope you don't mind me emailing you all! I am sure you don't! xx I am still in full time work and keen to meet up wtih some other mum to be's / mums. Not managed to meet up with any Nov peeps as most people are meeting up druing the week. Is anyone around to meet for a coffee / chat over the next few weeks on a Fri/Sat? We can check otu the mum to be meet up groups but think they might just be during the week. I live Downtown so anyone who lives around there, would be a bonus.

hi ladies I just got back from the UK...was trying to avoid the summer heat here! I am now 31+5 so the due date is nearing..eek! Just wondering whether anyone has been going regularly to bumps coffee mornings? Anyway even if you have, is anyone else up for meeting up for our own coffee morning? If you are, email me sabinajabry at gmail dot com and maybe we can fix something up. Hope you are all well :) <em>edited by sabinagoranova on 24/08/2013</em>

Hi ladies, I hope you are all well and surviving these summer temperatures (I'm sure it will only get worse!). Cleo - when is your new due date? Aish - how are you holding up? How was your appointment with Latifa? I'm all registered and have my appointment with them on the 7th of July, in parallel still seeing my preferred OBGYN. I'm ok with the double appointments as that means more ultrasounds. :) I'm just past the 22-week mark and already walking around with what looks and feels like a basketball underneath my shirt - it's hard to imagine that I'll get double the size by the end of it. Yikes! Ladies - are most of you escaping for the summer or planning to stay around Dubai? Dx I wish, I had just a basketball..mine is more like a watermelon at 25 weeks lol I don't walk anymore, i wobble and I still have to double this size in the coming weeks *sigh* New due date is October 6th (was October 13th), but I'll be term by end of september. I don't make a good preggo, I just want this phase to be over with lol

Hi girls!! Just writing in to say hi and see how everyone was doing! I'm back home in canada for the summer, until the delivery date! My OB here changed my due date from the date I was told by my OB in Dubai. Apparently the little guy is measuring a week ahead of schedule. That's fine by me, the sooner I have this baby- the sooner I get to come back to Dubai and hopefully have post baby meet ups and play dates :) I'm feeling ok, just getting bigger by the second. I'm attempting a vbac this time around, but I'm scared about the baby measuring big already- I want to be able to push this bub out lol

Hi ladies & bumps, I have been more active on the September thread, since there was no October one for a while, but happy to be here :) I'm 21 weeks with my first and it's a boy. I've been feeling him move in the past week and a half and it's soo cool. Been feeling great, but still having a bit of a hard time getting used to my new changing body... would love to meet all of you, preferably on weekends. Take care!

Hi all, I hope you are all feeling well! Tuesday will be 19-weeks for me, some weeks feel like they crawl by and then on reflection overall I can't believe I'm at the half-way point for twins! Xane31 - welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy! Aish - how are your appointments going at Latifa/Al-Wasl? How have you been feeling? Cleo - sorry to hear about your pain, a friend of mine has been seeing the chiropractor at the Primavera Medical Clinic in Healthcare City and highly recommends her. I hope you are able to get some relief soon!

Hi aish , thanks good to hear about this...as I feel twin preg is quite but different from single ones, so having a company is a great relief . Is it ur first preg, mine is first so feel really confused at times.hiw is it going , are u planning to deliver in dxb? I have heard neonatal care is quite expensive and I also dont have maternity cover , so tjinking to deliver back home.Any knowledge on this? As my gynae informed that with twin preg u may expect a preterm labor.

Also, ladies would like to ask if anyone has experienced fatigue, tenderness, very slight nausea every now and then, running to the loo all the time as well as hunger? I just reached 18 weeks today and since yesterday have been feeling like maybe my little man is having a growth spurt as it all seems to feel like the first trimester again! The bump definitely feels like its expanding, which i guess is to be expected but never thought all the yukky stuff comes back!?!? Yes, yes and yes! I've been feeling the yukkiness on and off as well :(

Hi Grateful, Welcome and congratulations to you too on your little girl! This is our first also so we're learning as we go along and I haven't yet met too many mums to be (apart from in this group) who are expecting around the same time. I am due more around 22nd October. Would love to meet up and give you the lowdown on Dubai once you arrive, let me know when you guys are here. Also, ladies would like to ask if anyone has experienced fatigue, tenderness, very slight nausea every now and then, running to the loo all the time as well as hunger?

Hi ladies! Congratulations to you all on this special, wonderful, challenging and rewarding journey. I am 20w6d and I am due around September 30/October 1. Additionally, I will be moving to Dubai in the next month, thus having to re-establish all social and medical networks rather quickly. My hubby and I are currently in Qatar, where we have lived as expats for the last 2 years. I would live to meet some ladies who are similarly pregnant. BTW this is our first pregnancy and we're having a girl!!!!!! I really hope to connect with some people soon!!

HI ladies! For the SPD Dr hasn't prescribed anything :( She basically told me just to keep my legs closed as much as I can, swing my legs over the tub while getting in and out, same with getting in and out bed and cars. I try, but I'm just bummed I got it so early on. I still have so much weight left to gain and still have to get so much bigger, I'm afraid of being paralyzed in a few weeks:( I haven't seen a chiro yet. Still doing some research on where to see a good pre-natal chiro in Dubai. I'm currently being seen at City Hospital- but I'm going back home to Canada for my delivery. I'm leaving 1st week of June and will be back sometime before the New Year. I have a great chiro back home who did wonders for me during my first pregnancy so will definitely be going back to see him. So let's see what happens. Fingers crossed it gets better *sigh*
