Anybody knows if it's possible to get APNO - all purpose nipple ointment - in any pharmacy in Dubai? It seems only compounding pharmacies do it... <em>edited by ana_cranberry on 13/04/2011</em>

FET became illegal around May last year, and that increases the price of every IVF attempt...

thanks! Lemondrops the medela freestyle is just too expensive, no? I'll try to visit a babyshop soon and see what they have available there!

Thanks, ladies! I have been reading better reviews for Ameda than for Medela, do you have any experience on Ameda? I have a good experience with hospital-grade Medela, but not with Medela Symphony, did not work for me at all!

I was also considering that. Do I need to buy any new pieces, or I can just sterilize all the sterilizable parts and use it? Right now I am using a rented hospital grade Medela Lactina but I bought my own kit. Can I use the bottles and tubing with the Medela Pump in Style one?

Hi, all, I will be traveling in 1 month and I am thinking about buying a portable, battery-operated Medela Pump In Style Advanced Breast Pump. Do you know where I can find it either in Sharjah or in Dubai? Is there any other option for traveling by plane (a 15h trip) with a baby who is not latching well? I am just afraid that I may not be able to BF at all on the plane (it's very tricky) and that spending 15 h without expressing is just too long. Thanks for your opinions!

I had my son 1 month ago and I had the most wonderful doula! Check her out: http://ca-doula.blogspot.com/ We ended up having C-section after 24 h of labour and she was always there. She's a wonderful lady, and she supported me before and after birth also.

I definitely recommend Dr. Mohammed at DGFC. We had IVF-ICSI in there last June and I got pregnant at the first try. I now have precious 1 month old baby boy. Dr. Mohammed is well known in Dubai and he was recommended by Dr. Maria at Dubai Herbal and Treatment Centre, where I was doing acupuncture. The rates of success are close to 50% which for IVF is really, really good!
