Hi Solo... Im sure your advices will be of a real help to all of us in the group. Hi Sakn.. Congratulations on your new born. How are the babies doing? Have you moved home now? Where was your delivery? Was that scheduled for 34 weeks? Are they identical babies? I hope the babies are having enough birth weight and are doing good. Please share your experience.

Apricot, thanks a lot.... That clears up lots of my confusion... so i think i get everything in my hospital bag :) can i ask you one more thing, i have heard people telling its difficult to get private room in Latifa. Do you know what the procedure is? Will they allow husband to stay back in a private room? Sorry, I know these questions are not relevant in this thread. But I do not know how to check these with you otherwise. Thanks Aish

Hi.. do anyone know if Latifa hospital provides any basic amenities package during delivery? I do not want to be carrying unnecessary stuff to hospital and duplicate on the stuff what they may be providing. With Latifa, I dont think i may get a private room, so i dont want to pack on the available space in the sharing room.

Hi H1983 I have just registered myself at Latifa.. though I am yet to meet my doctor there... You need to take first take yourself a healthcard and register with the Dubai Health Authority. You need to visit the nearest Dubai Health Authority clinic and book for their antenatal package which is AED 5000.00. Then your appointment will be scheduled with a doctor at the clinic. You may continue to see the doctor at the clinic and your file will be there. But you will be moved to Latifa for the appointments during the last month. But the doctor at the clinic can refer you to LAtifa anytime if she thinks you are high risk case. Latifa do not take first time appointments directly, they will ask you to go to DHA clinic in your area for the initial visit. Also, I would advice you to check with the local DHA clinic that they are giving you a package at LAtifa itself as I have heard that it depends on which area you are staying. But not very sure about this information. I hope he info was helpful. Let me know :) Take care

Hi Sabina... Thanks for the info on boppy pillow.. i think i should get one as i'm sleeping on my back unknowingly quite often.. and my hubby is quite tensed abt it... i will also see if i can get any second hand.. its just a matter of few months use!!! Hi Cleo.. sorry to hear about the pain...have u been to chiropractor... any benefit? giving advice can be quite easy... but just consider it as the part of the bundle and everything is gonna be fine soon... Is any one planning for a 3D/ 4D scan on the 20th week scan? Im quite confused about it... thinking i will ask my doctor how it is... i would prefer to go for it if it helps the doctor to get more info... Take care ladies..

Hi Everyone... Good to hear that all are doing well... they tell second trimster is the best part in the pregnancy, which make me worried thinking what would the be third trimster ..lol.... :) Lynett & dxb_2013: I had my initial appointment at karama health centre and they have referred me to Latifa hospital for my next check up which is scheduled in second week of June.. have a scan also scheduled there in the first week of June.. i will be seeing my private gynec at the local small clinic, whom i was seeing with initially. that will help me in case of my stupied queries and worries i think :) anyway i will take all my latifa appointments also.. 6 appointments is what they tell on the antenatal package i think... I am 19 weeks now and i think i look like seven months with my twins ... !! god knows what will i look like in the eight month... hahaha... i dont know what maternity clothes to get... sure i want a jeans.. but will that fit me after a month if my tummy is growing at this rate??? what did u guys get? SAbina... what is the Boppy body pillow??? everynight when i wake up in b/n i find myself lying on my back.. will this pillow help to overcome that? take care ladies...

Hi Johjoh When I went to see the my gynec at the clinic in Bur Dubai she did the scan and she had a doubt. So she sent me to Aster for an Ultrasound and got confirmed. But anyways, I am waiting for the next scan which may be there at the start of next month to confirm everything is fine. I want to register at Latifa. Do you know till when they will take admissions? And how are you feeling?
