I tend to breastfeed wherever I am and I am fully covered. It is really not a big deal. I breastfed the other day at Burger King while eating a burger. I breastfed yesterday whilst eating at Carluccio's. I chose a table in the corner on purpose and I sat facing the wall. Nobody ever even knew. Just be discreet.

AnonDubai, she has it in her original post. Yes, but I am not going to e-mail her my number if she has already made up her mind. I told her to let me know if she is still interested in my opinion. If she is, she can let me know and only then will I e-mail her my number.

Hi! I would recommend Latifa over NMC. Both have pros and cons, but there are a few big factors which would make me choose Latifa if I were to have another baby. If your insurance will cover Latifa, I would recommend going there.

Katie Holmes already looks much better and happier in the most recent pictures that the DM has posted. She must feel like a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders.

Isn't it also dependent on whether the guest has traveled far or not? why ?? surely, if you are invited to a wedding it's your own choice whether you attend and if it involves a long distance that's hardly the bridal couple's fault lol I think it's some type of etiquette rule.

Hi Amy! My DH just informed me that there were free private rooms available but that he wanted to treat me to a VIP room. It's a good thing that he told me that because I was feeling annoyed that he didn't get me any flowers! For that price, it was just a room with two armchairs and a fruit bowl. The nurse on hand is standard in all rooms. Anon - sorry - I know you are a busy bee right now, but I just thought about the 'free' private rooms - so they were 0AED? That would save 2K! :) Hi Amy! Yes, they are free but it seems highly unlikely that any would be available. I don't think Latifa was that busy during the time I was there.

This is why I generally never bother selling anything. Too much time is wasted and time is money. If I want to get rid of something, I just give it away. When you do that, you find that people come on time and rarely get lost!

My delivery truly went down without a hitch! I had some spotting on Wednesday morning but no pain. So I went to the hospital. They told me I could go home and come back when the pain started. I told them that I had no pain until the very end with my second child so having no pain is no reason to go home. I also insisted on an epidural. And that was it! I waited and when the slightest pain started, I demanded the epidural. Yes, I am a chicken! After that, I basically just waited and was on my IPad until about 5 minutes before he was born. There were a few nurses and one doctor in the room. I pushed a few times and he was out! They had to tell me when to push because I felt nothing. I had no tearing because my baby was small (2.57 kg) so I was able to leave after 24 hours. A perfect birth for me! And I thought Latifa Hospital was excellent in their care. If I ever have a fourth baby, I'd definitely go there!

Hi Amy! I got a private room at Latifa but we had to pay for it. It was 1300 dirhams a night. That is a bit expensive. Fortunately, I only had to stay one night.

My baby boy was born on Wednesday night. I had an NVD with epidural and it was a perfect labor and birth for me. I was due on the 23rd. We weren't expecting him to come so early but I'm glad he did because the pregnancy was getting tiring. He is really tiring me now though, because he is sleeping all day but awake most of the night! :(

It is almost impossible to find a long dress compatible with hijab that doesn't require you to wear other clothes with it. The dresses at couchia.com are beautiful but you'd have to wear a turtleneck with them as the arms and cleavage are showing, which defeats the purpose of feeling cool. The only place in Dubai where I have ever found long hijab-compatible dresses that require no other articles of clothing is at the Abu Hail Center in Deira. There are a few shops on the ground floor only that sell these types of dresses. If they don't fit you properly, the tailors will change them for you on the spot. Good luck!

That depends on the nationality of the maid. Ethiopians are the cheapest and Philippinos are the most expensive. You choose the maid based on her resume. You have to pay the sponsorship fees but the one-way airfare is paid for. You must pay the maid every month. You pay the agency when the maid arrives. You have to wait a few weeks, depending on the nationality.

I think this thread serves as a reminder not to park illegally anywhere, not even for a minute or two. I don't think it's a matter of whether you will get fined or not. There seems to be meter men on duty at each paid parking lot in this city during all the paying hours. The way I see it is that if you have not paid, you WILL get a ticket.

While I agree that no amount of worrying will keep him safe I think it's defeatist to say his safety is in god's hands. It's not, it's in the hands of everyone behind the wheel. To attach the outcome to a higher entity kind of removes any need for care on anyone's part which I think is wrong. IMO Not at all. My DH has a part to play in his safety on the roads, as do any other driver. That is why we follow road rules, put on the seatbelts and stay vigilant while driving. But despite all these precautions, accidents still happen and innocent lives are lost. I place my faith in a higher power in these circumstances, it doesn't absolve any one person from his duty of care, but it gives me a sense of peace. Yes, I agree. MY DH is a good driver but accidents happen and those are totally beyond our control.

Thanks, cant see anywhere the amount is mentioned on the back and the front is only in arabic. Guess I'll just go to the police station. Lesson learnt. maybe they are changed now, earlier the police mentioned a fine number on the ticket and you can see the amount for the fine at the back of the ticket.. quote'> [b'>I am guessing that the amount is on there but that the OP cannot read it because the numbers are not 123 but the numeric system used here.[/b'> <em>edited by AnonDubai on 05/06/2012</em>

Before we had a maid, my DH and I never went out. Now that we have one, we sometimes do go out but only after the kids have gone to sleep. Even though our maid is very good, we still don't trust her for babysitting alone. I agree that it is hard to find a babysitter who you can trust.
