Hello ladies! I had my 20 week scan yesterday with Dr. Yuliya everything looks perfect (well, the head is really big but DR. says better bigger than smaller :-)) And...it looks like we'll have a girl but I keep telling myself that there are cases when Dr. are wrong so I convince myself that i am not sure ......easier to keep it from my hubby this way as he wants a surprise. Thank you Andreag...last time i checked with Zen they did not have the pilates class, i will sign up and guess will meet you there ;-) Cazbaby1 ...Unfortunately I can't make it on Feb 26th, huge work load next week :-( I understand why your sister is so happy with Dr.Yulia I actually like her too, very much but not too sure about the hospitals she delivers in...and insurance claims are killing me, would be so much more convenient to go with City hospital because of direct billing. I will see Dr.Elza on March 3rd and i guess i'll make my decision then. And...thanks for the work outfit shopping tips. A few more questions for everyone out here: - Any suggestions for antenatal classes? I only know of the one at coopers clinic 1 day course from 10 am to 5 pm AED 1,500 per couple.Would like to hear if anyone heard any feedback or knows of other options. - Is anyone thinking to preserve the stem cells/cord blood? Did anyone made their research in terms of pricing and lenght of storage options? Does anyone know a company that is physically storing the cells in France? Wishing all of you a lovely day .... every day..

Hello ladies, i found this info and thought of sharing the link with everyone... There will be a baby bazaar market day on 23 rd http://www.babybazaar.org/ Freckle38 would be great to meet with Due in June gang for an evening bite or any Saturday even if it is not organized by EW. Anyone else is up for it? I already gained 7 kg!!!! Time to go work out ;-) anybody can suggest good prenatal Pilates classes? I live in knowledge village Zen yoga studio is very close but they only have yoga, I'd be interested in Pilates instead. Any suggestions? Anyone knows where to find decent maternity clothing for working mums? I've looked at mamas papas, mother care, Jane rose, maternity destination....couldn't find decent pants/trousers to wear to work ;-(

Hello ladies, hope everyone is feeling great... I am due for 20 week scan on Sunday, hoping to find out that everything is fine and excited to find out who we're expecting. My hubby doesn't want to know though so I will be as Freckle 38 keeping it for myself. I haven't bought a single thing yet, thanks to Freckle 38 list! I was taking pregnaplus for the first 3 months but then switched to gystalys DHA as it provides essential fatty acids Omega 3 .... Since I do not eat much fish I thought I had to make sure I get omega from a supplement as it is important for baby's nervous system and brain development. Expensive but as per my Dr. It is a very good supplement. By the way does anyone see Dr. Yuliya at Coopers? I am currently with her, however I'd like to deliver in city hospital but she only delivers at garhoud and Medicare. After waiting since October I finally got an appointment with Dr.Elza at city hospital in March as I heard she is brilliant to deliver with. Any thoughts on Dr. Yuliya vs Dr. Elza? I'd love to join you ladies for a cup of tea...but I work full time and right now even more than usual because I'm hiring and training staff to ensure business goes as usual while I am away on maternity. Do you ever meet in the evenings/weekends?

Thank you Freckle38! I tried placing 2 normal pillows on each side....indeed it helps! I may delay the purchase of the pregnancy pillow for now ;-)

Hello again, I wondered how many of us are here and when is the next meet up? Would love to meet other lookalikes and feelalikes ;-) Until we meet maybe someone could give a good advise re pregnancy pillow? I am having trouble sleeping as I always slept on my back or belly, now I get to sleep on my sides but I keep turning every 5 minutes and get a feeling that my hips are hurting ...as if I were to stay on one side all night even though it's only been 5 minutes. I wonder if anyone knows what is the best pillow as there are so many types and where to get one? Thank you.

Hello everyone! I am 19 weeks tomorrow and due first week of July but since there is no July group I thought of joining all of you here. I hope nobody minds ;-) My last scan was at 17w 4d and the measurements showed that baby is at least a week ahead in development! Well, the legs were very long and the head was as big as 18w 6d! Maybe at the end I'll end up delivering a week earlier then ;-) Even thou my Dr said it's ok... such oversizing worries me a bit, it is very unproportionate ....I hope this is normal at this stage. Did anyone of you have higher BPD head measurements?
