Hiya everyone, Yikes, can't believe how quickly the weeks are flying by! It's been ages since I logged on as well! Hope you're all keeping really well and enjoying your 2nd trimesters (before we all get huge & uncomfortable in the 3rd trimester!) All is well with our little bubs, I started feeling her kicks at 15wks and they seem to be gradually getting stronger as each day passes. Haven't had any kicks directed towards my ribs yet but plenty of irish dancing on my bladder! Sparkly, yep I'm definitely thinking more about the actual physicalities of labour now and am also planning on going natural! Am hoping that the antenatal classes that we're booked into at Health Bay Polyclinic with Dru Campbell in January will help to ease my worries though. Have also been reading up on hypnobirthing but am getting so confused cause some friends have said that it's a lot of nonsense while one friend said that it really helped her (no pain till 10cm!). Oh and by the way, we've just managed to buy our entire Chicco Cortina 'travel system' for a bargain price of AED 1,200 from the Go Nabit (now Living Social) website! The deal is available for another 2 days. Hope you all have a lovely National Day weekend! Fi x

Hi to all of my fellow March Mamas! I'm also due in March (4th) with my first baby and am very excited that I'm finally starting to 'show' (as opposed to just looking bloated for the past 3 months!). Sincere apologies to all of the morning sickness sufferers but I managed to have a great first trimester with absolutely no morning sickness (unusual cause I have a very sensitive stomach at the best of times!) and only a bit of lower back pain and generally wanting to sleep for 20 hours a day. Am probably getting a bit ahead of myself but when are you all planning to book your antenatal classes? I was eyeing up the Healthbay Clinic in Jumeirah because the midwife Dru Campbell's Friday morning classes have come highly recommended. Will probably book the 4wk block of classes in either December or January. And how are you all finding the selection of baby stuff available in the shops out here in Dubai? I'm heading home to Scotland in November for a holiday so am just gonna order most of the smaller stuff from Amazon in the UK and then bring it all back out with me. Just can't believe how much more expensive the likes of Mamas & Papas is out here compared to the UK! Anyway, hope you are all keeping very well and looking forward to your 20wk scans!
