A bit too early but I am on a lookout for lady who is experienced at post-natal massages.

Infact this bit of info will help me decide if I would go back home or stay in here at Doha for my delivery !

Did go through all old posts here in expatwoman, but I guess this is a question which has not got any concrete answers in terms of Contact info of those specialized massage ladies !!

Yep, they do have videos to teach you, how to massage a baby ! But its not possible to massage yourself. And a good massage after delivery goes a long way in helping you cope with the body stretching, body pain and regaining strength…

Any ideas ?!?!

Thank you so much for all the helpful replies ladies! My friend is pregnant and I really wanted to "gift" her with the post-natal massages so this has been really helpful!

OK, I have more info...the clinic is located on markhiya - I can't give you driving directions but if you are driving from CC to Landmark Mall, its on the right hand side about where the Woqod station is on the left. I don't think they have a "set in stone" opening date but should be Feb/Mar - I am sure we will hear about it on EW :) Some staff are there now "setting up" so if you're in the area maybe you can pop in. What I am really excited about is that there will be Western trained/worked in England (either or both is fine with me) staff there. I personally feel it is important that your Dr understands your culture and your overall 'way of life' to best treat you. From what I know - don't quote me - they will offer all kinds of services I guess like an OB/GYN office in the USA, including a pap smear. Fingers crossed :) p.s.I had the absolute WORST experience at HMC with a pap smear last year and would fly to the UK before having one done there again. <em>edited by ccdoha on 31/01/2012</em>

I know of an Indian friend who had a lady come to her post delivery for the massage. I shall ask if she still has the contact as this was two years ago. But I would like to mention that I have no idea of who's sponsorhip that lady is under etc so you would need to find out for yourself. If I get the number I will post back here in a few days.

I asked around in August and nothing came to light. In Bahrain an Indian lady came to the house 5x week for a month and charged the 100BD or 1000QR all in - which was an bargain looking back on it. The dwindling Indian visas here have apparently stopped the practice in Doha. The only lead I had but didn't follow is an Latvian lady called Inessa tel 00974 33021749 She does post natal but as far as I know not the babies. She doesn't speak English but her daughter Julia , who takes bookings etc does. Her prices are 150 per hour + transport. I can email you her price list etc if you would like.

I was browsing some hotel spa websites and found this on Ritz Carlton's Pre and Post Natal Maternity Massage 50 minutes - QR480 Designed for maximum comfort pre and post your expectant months. This massage is not recommended for individuals in their first trimester of pregnancy.

@lalala - yep !! Its daily massage after your delivery… The ladies who do this actually massage the baby and mom ! Well, you must know more about which area is delicate and which area needs more attention in the baby and the mother… For example, for the baby; massage a good quantity of oil in the "soft spot". It is the area on top of the head where the bones of the skull have not quite joined ! @ccdoha - Any luck with your contact ?

This probably isn't of a lot of help but there are lot of spas doing massage. Unless the specific massage you're looking for is particularly specialised, I would've thought someone could do it! Do you mean literally after delivery as in at the hospital?

Ok - this isn't much help at the moment but...I know someone who is about to start a job at a new clinic that is specialising in 'all things maternity' so...I will ask her for more details as I am sure she mentioned this type of service being offered :)
