Pregnant in Dubai but giving birth in London?/Pregnancy questions
Hi ladies,
I am due in November with my first baby but planning to go back to London to give birth there as my family and friends are all in UK and I think I'll need their support in the first few weeks. Has anyone done this or have any advice re how to go about it please? (I am a UK citizen.)
I am currently going to the American Hospital for the prenatal care and everything is fine so far but I have no idea what to do when I go back to London to give birth, i.e., I have no hospital/maternity care lined up and I won't be back there until I am around 32 weeks (or the latest I can safely fly). Do I just show up at a hospital and hope they will take me on?
Separately, I would love to meet up with other mums-to-be in Dubai but I think all the coffee mornings are during the working week when I am at work. Are there other groups on at weekends?
Finally, what are people doing to try and keep the weight off during pregnancy? I thought giving up booze would mean I would be looking like Kate Moss in no time but I cannot stop eating - the sweeter the food, the better and even just going for a walk seems like a tall order in this heat.
Any and all recommendations welcome please!
