I looked high and low and I think it's impossible to find in the UAE. I order from Look Fantastic.com - they deliver to UAE PO Box for free! Prices are reasonable too: [url=http://www.lookfantastic.com/brands/burt-s-bees.list'>http://www.lookfantastic.com/brands/burt-s-bees.list[/url'> Thanks for your reply! One query - I don't have a P.O Box here in Dubai is it still possible to order from them?

Thank you for your inputs ladies!! Comp99 - I think Dr Skorski delivers at Mediclinic too,? My insurance does cover Mediclinic Naddu200- will definately keep you posted on whoever I decide to go with.. When I saw dr lilliana for pregnancy she informed me she delivers at al Zahra and it has great facilities etc etc. She did not mention city hospital or welcare hospital.. (the only two hospitals under mediclinic group in dubai). Considering the distance of health bay al wasl to city and welcare hospital I don't see it likely. In any case you can call the clinic reception to confirm this. There is no point finding reviews for a doctor if the delivery hospital is not covered under your insurance. Al Zahra hospital barsha still have direct billing problems with lots of insurance providers so better check for yours. Good luck Just checked Dr Skorski does deliver at Mediclinic.. How did you like the doctor though?

Thanks for your reply! Sorry my bad I didn't elaborate actually. They cancelled my appointment indefinitely with Dr Britt Clausson and said that they can't be re-schedule my appointment as the doctor is out of the country for 6 weeks and they cannot schedule after 6 weeks either as her calendar for appointments is not open yet. Anyway I gave it some time and called them again to fix an appt after the Dr is back and again they gave me the same answer. And this time the nurse also told me that she is not sure if the Dr will come back and take me as a patient as it might be too late in my pregnancy, I was only in my 12th week then. Have called up the clinic again and they are still giving me the same answer and I am in my 16th week now. It's already been 4 weeks and they still don't know when the doctor will be back!! I was very keen on Dr Britt since I read good reviews. And I feel that the hospital is not being completely clear and the least they should do is give a clear picture to the patients... I felt hopeful all this while thinking I could schedule an appointment once the Dr is back.. But now I think maybe the Dr is not coming back at all.. Any good Ob/Gyn suggestions Pls do lemme know !!

Hi amel123, I have recently given birth to my first baby here in Dubai. I too was unsure whether to go ahead and try for a baby in this country or wait until I go back home. It was a big decision for me as I did not know many people in this country and would ideally have liked my family and friends around me. However a few of my friends back home have had trouble conceiving and are going through treatments. This made me think that there was no point waiting as I too could face problems like them and I don't want to wait a few years to find that it could take a few years of treatments before I was lucky enough to have a baby. Thankfully I did not have any issues and conceived first try :) I saw Dr Ibrahim at City hospital throughout the pregnancy and can't recommend him highly enough. I was very nervous at first about seeing a male Dr but those nerves disappeared the first time I met him. He is very professional, friendly, polite and re- assuring. I felt that I could ask him anything and he always fully explained everything to me. He was fantastic in the delivery room too - can not fault a thing :) Also it is amazing how many people you meet that are in the same situation as you - I have made so many new friends since I found out I was pregnant and do not know what I would have done without their help and support. Plus all the ladies on here are fantastic at offering advice if you are a clueless new mum like me! lol :) Good luck with making your decision - if you do decide to go for it then happy trying ;) Hi Kts, Is it true that Dr Ibrahim does only C-sections?

Hello ladies, I am 16 weeks pregnant and I heard about Dr Nurgul Fayyad at Health Bay Polyclinic , anyone here used to see her or delivered their baby with her? I know that she delivers at American hospital. Thank you very much in advance.

I've heard bad reviews about AL Zahra too in the past like a few years ago, but recently mostly good ones so they have probably become better..
