Hi Bips, I am going to the classes in Health Bay Clinic and enjoying them very much.Total price for 2 people is 1800aed for 3 classes 3 hours each and the last class is 4 hrs. I am due the last week of July but most of the women in the class are due mid/end of June so I am sure that you are still on time if they have spaces available for the next classes.

Curly OB, scan went very well thank you, do you mean if I found out the gender? Not sure how you can wait to find out the gender, I certainly couldn't! If you are referring to my previous thread, the curiosity was about the 4D scan and yes I have them! They are a bit spooky but I like them :) Mine is a baby girl (but I have been knowing it for some time) and she has started kicking too, which is brilliant! :)

NP and ExpatMy thanks for the info! I will find out on Sunday anyway...the day of my 20 weeks scan! I cannot wait... ExpatMy: I will try to take into account your advice, but who knows if curiosity of seeing my little monster will have the best! :) I still cannot feel her kicking (at least I think that I cannot...)! Hopefully your lump is nothing serious and if the doctor had the doubt it could be, he would have sent you for another check-up, but if you want some peace of mind maybe get a second opinion. My doctor back home told me that I should have my blood test taken every month, to monitor the CMV because I am receptive to it, but I only had it at the beginning and apparently next time will be at the 24 weeks visit. I suppose that I could have had the blood exams anyway privately, I just thought that maybe I should listen to the doctor that is following me now, that seems very good anyway (doctor Liliana in Health Bay Clinic, anyone else seeing her?) Good luck to us all! :)

Hi neighbours! I live in the building next to yours in JBR. We have no babies yet, but I am pregnant with my first and I too work in Abu Dhabi. I know that it will be a struggle when the baby comes, I was yesterday in the Jebel Ali nursery asking for information, but unfrotunately it will not be a feasable option, as we both work full time and our day is longer than the nursery's. A colleague of mine was living in the Greens and coming to work to Abu Dhabi and he was finding it ok. It is a little community with pools etc. and seems like a nice place where to live, I am just not too sure about the prices these days.

Hi all! I just found out about this forum and had some fun reading your posts…I wish I had found it before! I am pregnant with my first baby due on the 24th of July…and IT'S A GIRL!!! :) and I am really excited! I have not decided the hospital yet, but a friend delivered in Al Zahara and had a good experience and so far it would also be my preference, also based on the fact that it's closer to where I live. Does any of you live in JBR or Marina/JLT? It would be nice to meet for a juice or something! I also have problems sleeping, I wake up very early morning and usually I fall asleep soon before the alarm rings or don’t fall back asleep at all. Fortunately though the morning (or rather all day) sickness times are gone and right now I have a bit of the same problem as you ExpatMy…apart from my big belly and the fact that had to give up alcohol and cigarettes, I don’t fell pregnant (but I always remember it!). I am due for morphology scan in 10 days (I can't wait) and will be having it at Genesis Clinic with Dr George, but I don’t know the cost.

Thanks you all for your advices. I don't know if going back home is actually an option, as not being resident there I think that I have lost the benefits of the residency, but I will check with the Consulate. Anyway before the delivery I might need additional services than offered by the hospital packages, that is why I would like to have an insurance to cover for everything, although I have read the posts about ADNIC and they do sound quite expensive! I will ask for a quotation from them. Do you know any other insurance company that might be more reasonable? Also anyone goes to an OB is JBR? That would be really handy for me but I have no idea if they are any good (there is a Medcare there and a Nicholas ASP and not sure what else). Thanks again!
