Hi All, Wow I've been off radar since January and now learnt my lesson as it's taken me forever to catch-up but also very exciting to hear how our group (and tummies) have grown!! Waterbaby/Star 007 - LOL I get you on the 'pram watch' after lots of debate we have opted to go for the Upper Baby Vista - although you cant get it in Dubai/Abu Dhabi it seems so I'm hopefully seeing one later this week as traveling back to the UK for a long weekend. I'm also taking Pregnacare and had 20 x week scan (although baby was being shy so didn't get any DVD or really any clear images :-( but baby is starting to move now which is a wonderful if not slightly nerve wracking feeling as it's all starting to become very real - rather than just feeling I was getting very fat! We are still sticking to having 'a suprise 1st' but both feel it'll be a boy. However, literally everyone else who has had a guess has told us girl (no real reason as to how im carrying just peeps instinct) so will be amusing to see who is right in the end. Freckle - thanks for the baby list - I've not even started looking at these practical items yet - keep thinking I have ages to go but don't want to be out in June buying up these bits in a last minute panic! Freckle/Kookee - Did either of you have reservations of where to travel to whilst pregnant or do you need to take any further precautions in the Far East as I want a holiday in March but had been planning to play it safe with location in case I had to go to a hospital etc etc - yet feel I may have been over precautious and therefore have cut my options down... Feel I need a holiday too! Mom2b - My Sister had her little girl delivered by Dr Yuliya at City Hospital 2 x years ago and still raves about her... In fact shes planning a 2nd and has already said for her delivery she will deliver wherever Dr Yuliya's practices (though she loved City). I'm with Dr Britt at City and am really happy with her too :-) Freckle - Sorry I haven't even made it to any classes yet :-( work has been really busy since the new year but I've got to get to stop making excuses and get some exercise soon as like Mom2b I've put on 7kg and at my 20 x week scan they said my baby is a tiny bit smaller than average which means I can't even use the excuse of baby for the rate of my expanding bump!! I got quite a few clothes for Xmas from Destiny Maternity & Asos has been a lifeline for me but seriously there isn't a lot of options in Dubai is there?! Someone at work told me New Look had a good Maternity range so I checked this out on-line and ended up in 1 x week visiting all of the stores (each one telling me the other stocked the range) only to find 1 x store had any items (Deira City Centre) and it was limited to just 1 x rail - can laugh about it now thankfully but at the time was soo frustrated!!! Can anyone make an evening get together on Tuesday 26th Feb say at 7pm? As like a few of the ladies I also work & this is my 1st baby so would love to meet up with some women going through the same experience as me at the moment. Ok, got to go now but will set-up a reminder on my phone to check-in every few days... Incidently is anyone else having to set lots of reminders for themselves as I don't seem to be able to rely on my memory in the 2nd trimester. I made the mistake of telling my husband and believe he may be using this to his advantage especially when I was talking about us having no plans next weekend to which his response was 'Darling I told you I'm going to Golf next Friday followed by Brunch with the boys - you said you didn't mind?!"

Hi Everyone & Congratulations, I'm new to the forum and am just over 15 x weeks expecting my 1st baby on 24th June. I'm with City hospital and Dr Britt who has been amazing after I had a not too great first couple of appointments with the Obsys Dr at Arabian Ranches clinic (just didn't really gel with her but was a good first solution as this is my local clinic). So far the pregnancy has been fairly easy aside from bad fatigue and nausea (though luckily never sick) in 1st trimester and I'm now suffering with disturbed sleep over the past few nights but that's it, so I hope this easy streak continues... I think I've put on 2 x kilos but I didnt really weigh myself before pregnancy so its a bit of a guess & I'm definately starting to look I'd like to say pregnant but in reality it probably just appears I've over indulged over Xmas with the mince pies! The only real cravings I've had has been for Bananna's & Macaroni Cheese (not together!) I had my NT scan a few weeks ago which was really exciting but my husband and I have decided to not find out the s*x (he originally wanted to know but then we agreed as it's our 1st it really doesnt matter and will be a wonderful suprise - also hoping the anticipation will help me through the labour pain!!) We then spent about an hour after the scan over analyzing the pictures to hazard a guess... Hoping I will therefore not break and find out at 20 x week scan (which may be likely at the moment!) I work F/T and would really like to meet up with other expectant mum's as I'm the first out of my circle of friends to be expecting, but am finding this difficult as all coffee mornings are mid-week :-( @andreag & @freckles38 - I am interested in starting pre-natal yoga and pilates in the new year so if you or anyone else is interested in starting classes then or can recommend anywhere good to go then please let me know?
