Ladies thank you soo very much for your replies. Really helpful. Apologies i wasn't able to reply sooner have suffered so badly with morning sickness (all day in fact) i've not had the energy or desire to go online. Your suggestions are fantastic and I'll start looking at things more positively form now!
Congratulations Green-ish! you are very brave indeed. I'd love to go down the 4 kids route but I'm not sure i can physically and emotionally cope with another first trimester. .I'm finding it so hard and am not exaggerating when i say i have the blues. am not excited (yet) about it all but i do know that once baby is out it will be totally different (this is my second). Here's hoping for some relief in next few weeks. Where are you living now? Are you missing Dubai or chapter over and happy to have moved on?

To all the lucky ladies who have had babies in the summer. . .how was it being here over the summer months? I have toddlers also so need to think about keeping them occupied. Not an option to go home for delivery as v sick parent who probably can't / wont cope with our troop.. .so its here for the long-haul.
Am anxious and nervous at the prospect of being here over the summer months, housebound with toddlers because too hot outside and possibly too big to cope with the heat. Not to mention ramadan. .
Advice would be really appreciated. How did you cope? What did you do to keep little ones occupied? Also how was it after birth with newborn being housebound?
Congratulations to you all...I'm also due at the start of August so about 9 weeks now. Zeynab to answer question re MS as you've probably heard every woman is different and every pregnancy different but to give you an idea (this is not my first) my MS started at about 6 and half weeks. It started as a queasy feeling for a few days no specific time then queasiness all day and now nausea all day. Nausea in first pregnancy for me was super tough maybe because such a shock to the system? Maybe because i was working full time? Who knows this time whilst still tough i just have to get on with it as have a LO to run around after so no chance to feel sorry for myself but its hard! One thing i do notice is nausea is much, much worse when I'm tired so try and steal some sleep whenever you can it may help. Then again you could be one of the lucky ones to escape this fun!
