Hi, I'm travelling for the first time with my baby. Ideally I want to get her settled before going through security in her carrier, will I be made to remove at security. I'm presuming yes but it's not easy to get her in so I'm hoping not! Thanks in advance

Many thanks for the information, I went to the doc who was next to useless and mentioned doing some calcium and vit d tests, I said it was obviously as a result of holding the baby but he didn't have a lot to say! I will look unto your man coconell, thanks

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I went a few weeks ago and I wasn't allowed. I wasnt even allowed to book a massage, I was told you were not allowed past first few months. Might be worth asking but they were quite adamant with me :(

Thanks for all the advice...mmmm NIP I did worry that 36 weeks was cutting it slightly close...Bab al shams is fully booked they have something going on that weekend unfortunately. Elle I am going to RAK Resort this weekend! Just to be greedy I wanted another weekend away for our birthdays and anniversary.. It may have to be somewhere in Dubai, a lot of places seem quite full maybe due to world cup.

Hi duddym Congrats on your pregnancy, when are you due? No i'm not from Yorkshire a little further south, Shropshire. It certainly is not long too go now that is why the panic, anxiety and of cousre the excitment starting to set in! Hi SG, due 14th April, going to deliver at City. I think we're relatively sorted because we got loads of things from the UK but I guess you never know until its here. Yep feeling excited, apprehensive, its going to be a big shock thats for sure!

If cost is an issue, then you might like to know that Breastfeeding Q&A are offering an ante-natal breastfeeding workshop in Dubai on the 14th. The only charge is 15Dhs (to cover refreshments and handouts). Of course it won't help with labour and delivery, though. Bfc I would be interested in this how do I get more information?

Thank you for the info Mince, on muneeza's site it says she is based in the US is that not the case? Ill have a look into the meet up looks good. Thanks again. hi there are a few people offering hypnobirthing classes in Dubai - it really depends on what method you are looking to do - either hypnobabies or the Marie Mongan method, to name but a few methods on offer. The Marie Mongan method - HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method - is a unique method of relaxed, natural childbirth education, enhanced by self-hypnosis techniques. HypnoBirthing® provides the missing link that allows women to use their natural instincts to bring about a safer, easier, more comfortable birthing. Emphasis is placed on pregnancy and childbirth, as well as on pre-birth parenting and the consciousness of the pre-born baby. As a birthing method, HypnoBirthing® is as new as tomorrow and as old as ancient times. They are both excellent course but offer slightly different approaches (but all with the same aim) to make birth a more calm, positive, powerful experience. I don't know of anyone who offers hypnobabies classes here in Dubai but you can do the course on line or buy the course cds- although there are benefits to attending a group or even having one-to-one classes. There is also a group in Dubai called Be Empowered who offer a free open house for women/ couples who are interested in finding out more about hypnobirthing, having a doula at your birth, how to achieve a positive birth, relaxation methods, alternative therapies and also placenta encapsulation. http://be-empowered.weebly.com/our-aim.html this is an excellent community group. For a list of hypnobirthing practitioners in Dubai see below. ABU DHABI: Danielle Way Abu Dhabi, UAE 056 1236055 www.hypnobirths.co.uk DUBAI: Muneeza Akhtar Ahmed muneeza@letsbirthcalmly.com www.letsbirthcalmly.com Jasmine Collin +971 501323669 jasmine.strutt@yahoo.co.uk PooJa Sawlani 0506543582 pooja@thirdeyeonline.com hope this helps - you can buy any of the books on line or some of the shops stock them in Dubai - if you wish to learn the methods on your own. There is also another new webpage on birth called One World birth http://www.oneworldbirth.com/ it gives great information all from leading experts in the world of birth offering up to date researched based information on birth. http://www.oneworldbirth.net

Just be sure of what you want as I was also thinking of hypnobirthing but what I actually wanted was hypnobabies which is "same same but different". One of my closest friends is a Doula and she is a hypnobabies instructor which she recommends over hypnobirthing. See her page on Facebook "Prenatal to Parenting". If you "like" the page you will get LOTS of daily information and articles on yours newsfeed about birth and beyond, it's fabulous. I have a hypnobirthing book and CD that I bought accidentally (thinking it was hypnobabies). You can have it for free if you want as I'm going to order the hypnobabies books online. Thanks coffee gal, is your friend based here? That's really kind about the book where do you live?

duddym, How's it going? Hope all's well. Thanks for all the info and thanks for asking Chocoholic, I've tried Lauren but unfortunately she is on maternity till January. I've made an appointment at home for when I go back for Christmas then will try someone here Jan. Pain has got a little bit better so fingers crossed it stays manageable. The midwife said I had SPD which put the fear of god into me!

Hi SNowy, classes are pretty standard yoga, have you done it before? They do two yoga and two body balance which is essentially yoga and Pilates. I've only done it week or sonbut at the moment it's better than nothing. I think later on I'll give exhale ago as specifically prenatal. Ifnyou want any info let me know. Food food it's all I ever think about now!!!

Hi Lec I was going to go to Exhale but they only do 2 prenatal classes a week and wanted to do a bit more. I started doing the Yoga at Studio fitness JBR and may top up with Exhale in a month or so. I can't actually believe how starving I am all the time!! x

I had my scan today,so far so good i am 7weeks and 2days i heard the heartbeat 168 bpm which is reassuring does anyone else look pregnant already? By the evening you can clearly see my stomach sticking out i don't know how much longer i can hide it lol (this is my second too) Hi SydneyGirl, i'm also just gone 7 weeks and I have a belly, seems to be massive bloating. I'm a trainer and i'm sure my clients must wonder what I've done to myself recently!
