Thank you ladies, So yesterday i sent her a cheese sandwich to nursery, i had cut it into a star shape hoping it will encourage her. When i picked her up i realised it was untouched. I was so deflated but in the car she did have a nibble. It's definitely working but will be a long journey. Will try the shapes with fruit too. I find that if I offer her food she refuses I tend to leave it out and in her own time she will have a go. This obviously does mean she does not always eat with us but glad that she is giving it a go. I made some noodles in hopes the slurping it up action would work, my three yr old really helped and managed to get her to eat it all up. She also like to eat herself, loves the spoons and forks or even cocktail sticks...i just need to be more creative with her. Thanks again x

Hi ladies, I'm at my wits end. My two year old use to be a great foodie from when she started weaning up until the age of 16 months. She is now 25 months and refuses everything. She can easily just survive on milk. I put my foot down and only offer her milk when she goes to bed, has a nap and when she wakes up in the morning. The only thing she will eat is roti with chicken or lamb curry, which i am happy to give her but not every single day. (I tried it with lentils and veg but she spat it out) She also asks for toast which i cut in 16 small squares...from that she will only eats about four. She happily eats yoghurt too. But i can not get any fruit or veg in her in anyway. I make homemade pizzas with hidden veg sauce which she refuses, i've tried quiches, fish bites, veg burgers and many other things but she just throws tantrums. I have introduced time out to her as it worked for my eldest but my 25 month old will cry and cry but refuse to give in. She is stubborn in everything and i really don't know what to do now. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thank you ladies, I think needed this reassurance, i know 3 weeks into nerve repair is such little time but it seems like a life time already. I have read every website possible on the net hoping for a time frame but its one of these things that you just never know. I really hope its not permanent, im clonging on to the tingling and shooting pains hoping i will heal soon. Thank you all for your comments x

It does tingle occasionally and when i touch it. I contacted my surgeon yesterday asking him if i should see a nerve specialist and he told me that they can not do anything for me know. He wants me to wait one month, until i finish the medication, and then he said he will ask a lazer specialist to see me. But now im worried that even he thinks I won't get better. As before he was confident and said it will get better but it takes a long period of time (up to6 months) and now within a month he wants me to see a lazer specialist. Cowboy...may i ask how long you have been healing for? Have u felt it improving?

Ladies, I think i just got really lucky, i was in mirdif mall over the weekend and i just happened to pop into holland and barrett who told me they don't stock it but took my details just incase they start too. I left my number will little hope of ever getting a phone call. However they called today and told me they have started to stock. I reserved two boxes straight away, although pricy at 590 each (180 tablets) i think its worth it as its worked for me. (60 tablets are available too) stock is limited from what they said but i'm not sure how many they have exactly. Wonderer123...sorry for the late reply, i'm hardly on this now as i have little or no time. The tablets i take do have iron but very little (13.6mg) i wouldnt survive if it was a high dosage as i always get constipated with too much iron. I'm not sure if these are the old or the new tablets its says helps maintain normal healthy hair growth from within. Also no i don't have any thyroid problems.

Glad some of you seen the post and it didn't go unnoticed as i know what a nightmare hairloss is. I was out with a friend yesterday who thought i had back combed my hair to make it look fuller and thicker...it may have been partly due to the fact that i had washed it the same day but it never had the bounce it has now. It was the first time i had a nice comment about my hair in 3years and it felt lovely. Really hope it works for you too x

I can vouch for Susie, had a few sessions with her one was for marriage counseling. Shes great, one session was enough to get us back on track. My husband has never been into the idea and i dragged him there, he thought she was great and considered going back just to help him keep focused on other things too. All the best x

Its about time they have put some in, maybe now people can slow down and actually stop when the lights turn red too. I hardly cross on the Palm but it makes me mad when i see people speeding past the lights when families are trying to cross. Can not wait for them to put more on the palm and possibly put in traffic lights that have red, amber and green as its obvious that most people think thats the only time the rule applies.

Hiya ladies, I've had a few guys come round with their catalogue to show me their collection. Theres so much to chose from and i'm getting abit confused. I think i know what I want until the guy would say actually this will look better...then i'm back to square one. I was wondering if any of you ladies could tell me which material you have chosen, which ones drape and hang nicely. Any feedback would be great. Thanks

I think it maybe because everyone has bought their 'driving culture' from back home. Yes theres the basics of how to drive but things change depending on where you live and the people around you and once your in that habit its hard to change. I do my very best to signal when I turn, use my mirrors, drive at a correct speed, check my blind spot etc especially with the little ones in the back and i've changed loads of habits that i had before i was a mum but it really hurts me when u see families that have two kids squeezed in the front passenger seat or a child standing up with their head out of the sun roof...but at the end of the day I think it all comes down to culture. When my in laws are in town they always say theres no need for a car seat but i make it perfectly clear that i'm not compromising my childs safety for them to save a few bob on a taxi :)

I read up on feng shui hoping it will help and it too suggests no electronics in the bedroom. We only have a tv in there but its not even wired up as its never use (no time to relax in bed and watch tele nowadays). The only other this we have are our mobile phones, husband has his own business and refuses to turn off his phone, bit of a workaholic but i'll try and convince him. Wicked_angel78 your experience must have been terrifying for you and your son...how long did this last? My husband hasn't had an experience for a while thank god.

My DH has said it is sleep paralysis too...the attached link said theres nothing that can be done??? There must be something right? The alcohol factor hardly exsits in our home now, maybe once a blue moon. I try and catch up on naps during the day and DH is in the fuest room because he needs more than four hours of sleep before going to work (baby in our room waking up). I never experienced anything like this previousily and now that i am its really scary and i'm not even having the sleep paralysis. I refused to sleep in the dark for a year after the first few experiences, before this i needed to make sure the room was pitch black for me to sleep atall. :(

From what i have heard - there is no fast track for a new born passport And - going in person makes no difference I've not heard anything about emergency travel documents....thinking you may have to prove the emergency if this option does exist. Some people have been getting intouch with their MP's which seems to be helping

My hair has grown since i last gave up and gave it the chop but i really want to avoid that this time. I use to do the side plat all the time, will have to try it out again. Although it may not look that great as my hair has thinned out alot since then. Tieing it up seems to be the one, anyone managing to do it without hairspray to keep the smaller hair away? Where can i get my hands on dry shampoo here? Boots maybe? I've not seen it around

It doesn't sound like you are sponsoring this maid. Be careful because she has access to your home. Also, you might want to check her passport... She has a visa atm but we will get hers once it needs renewing. For now we have her on trial for a week. The reason y i reduced her hours was because my eldest naps 9.30-12.30. Shes such a light sleeper i cant do anything around the appt. I take the younger one to my bedroom and she also naps then too. Both girls wake up at 7, so i thought i'd deal with them for 2.5 hours in the morning, theres nothing for the maid to do while they nap, it made sense for her to come at 12. Although during the week days my eldest goes nursery 1-5. This maid has it very easy, after the cleaning is done (every other day) there isn't much for her to do. I feel like we r paying her for the bare minimal.

This maid is being paid 3,000 every month (1k every ten days) for 8 hours a day's work so that is effectively 15 AED per hour. By the time you factor in visa, medical etc costs.......it will be much more. If you haven't sponsored her yet, I'd get an agency in who will work out to the be the same hourly cost yet you can pick and choose when you have her and no worries about holidays. I don't know but I forsee trouble ahead with the situation you are in now. I would have prefferred an agency too, but there are none that work after 6pm. My main priority is in the eve as the older one goes off to nursery and i can cope with one alone. Do you know of any that work after 6pm?

We are looking for a part time maid, Someone who is available for a few hours each day and maybe some weekends in the eve. We have two children, a 22 months old girl and a 7 week old baby girl. We will require help with baby sitting and cleaning and maybe some cooking. The person will need to speak good english and be confident around children. This is a live out position so it would be great if someone has their own accommodation and a visa. Please message for any details. Thank You

We have been interviewing live out maids recently but its so tough especially as they won't be around over the weekends too. Don't know if agencies like the ones mentioned below will do weekends either. I'm going to have to do some research and get it sorted asap. Thank you all for your support, i thought it was me with the problem or that im being selfish for not letting him go. Just can't wait for this week to be over with.

I am swinging towards sending him off to this stag do as i wait all day for him to come home for a convo and he hardly acknowledges me all eve. Although he reluctantly helps out with the kids when told to do something, maybe i should just suck it up and deal with the four days alone. My friends circle is so small here in Dubai, could count them on half a hand. my closest friend has a toddler of her own and although i know she would be there for me i wouldn't want to take her away from her family on a long weekend. Its hard work with the kids and i wouldn't want to be a burden on anyone. Hes definitely not neglected, seems like he just wants to be left alone to go out with his friends. Most of his friends are newly weds or about to bet married, noone has any kids, they all go out, traveling and so on. His best mate has convinced him to work together so hes in Dubai every other month telling him what a fantastic night out he had here there and everywhere and i know he'd rather be out with him than be with me. This was clear when he made out there was a work do and decided not to mention it to me. Unfortunately for him, his mum told me and when i confronted him he tried his hardest to convince me it was a work do. The stag weekend is this week so i really need to hurry up and decide what it is i want to do :(

I hear what your saying janatks, but i am positive he is not feeling neglected. I give his responsibility with the girls but its too much for him, he can't be bothered to deal with it properly. He knows what upsets the toddler and would continue to upset her. This will lead her to cry to me while im breast feeding the baby. Then he would say "she wants u" he claims she is only happy to be with him if im no where to be seen. Its rubbish, i make the effort of interacting with her, yday for example i taught her how to play hide and seek, she loved it. I then needed a shower and told him to play with her, however he would rather sit and watch tele and let her cry instead. Every free time we get from the girls i always try and grab that opportunity to be with him but he would rather go gym or watch tele. I tried putting my LO in a routine, but it was difficult as tge in laws where here and 1. They didnt approve and 2. Our routine was already out the window bcos of outings. Today is my first day alone with the girls so as soon as i can establish what works best, i'll try and put a routine in place and try and get atleast a part time nanny in. Its just sucks when your husband doesn't even give u the respect of answering a question you have asked him. Really trying to keep calm but in all honesty i just want to pick up the biggest pan and whack him as hard as i can right now.

The bigger part of me doesn't think it is PND which is why i cancelled the appointment last week. Although as im not fully aware of it but know it can be serious i thought i'd go and see someone just to be safe. My husband and I have kept ourselves to ourselves today, minimal talking, eye contact and all the rest. I've taken this time to do some thinking about him going away. I thought i'll give him the green light as the time apart may do us some good, he'll get it out of his system and we'll be okay in the end. But the only thing stopping me is that everyday the older one sets of the younger one and vice versa, feeding one and keeping the other occupied is tough. To top it off, theres a long weekend next week so i won't be able to send the toddler to nursery to give me a break atall. But he has said, if he doesn't go to the stag we will go to the wedding in oct, which is why i'm thinking do i let him go to save myself from going bk in oct. We also planned to go bk to the uk in July, but as im feeling so low and have had dealt with the MIL already, i don't wish to deal with it all in two more month. So for my own piece of mind, i havent yet applied for my LO's passport and im hoping my husband doesn't bring it up in convo any time soon. Maybe i'm being selfish but after dealing with everyone already, i don't want to do it again so soon. Also his reasons to go back is 1. Global gathering event 2. His friends 30th celebration in Ibiza which doesn't include us atall as usual. I'm hoping when he does bring it up the back log on the passports will be in my favour. After todays hectic day, i asked him "how do u think i'll cope by myself if you went away" and all i got was shrugged shoulders. So i said "its out of sight, out of mind for you then." The only way i could cope is maybe call in one of the maids and have her on trial that week. And i totally agree with cushion, why should he get to let his hair down while i continue the hard work back at home alone, which will also include the weekly shop and the house cleaning too. Its totally selfish in my eyes. Not to mention hes being stingy on my allowance too. Livelytrish, i would still put ourselves in the young category, hes 30 i'm 28

Thanks a lot ladies, Today the last of the family have left and after yesterdays disaster date there is a big elephant in the room that we are both avoiding. We have been in different rooms all day today in our two bed apartment. Cleaning helps me relax so i got on with it as there were loads to do after the family left. I then spent time with my oldest and as i had expressed milk i left my hubs with the LO. My husband was eager to go out when his parents suggested it before they came, but he was very quick to make excuses to avoid it all together yesterday. I pushed it as i thought it would help. He wants to go away on a stag next weekend and i have asked him not to as i don't feel ready to be left alone with the two alone yet. I explained that once i have established a routine then i'll be fine with him going away for the weekend. However as im up till late breast feeding, burping and up during the night again i know i'll find it difficult to entertain a toddler in the morning too. He doesn't seem to understand this and is more disappointed about missing out on a stag. I have booked an appointment to see a Dr next week regarding this and she will then point me in the right direction. I hope its just a phase i'm going through and will now pass as the guests have gone. My LO will be two months next week and when she hits three i'm planning on putting her in a routine which works with our toddler so we can have time to ourselves again and hopefully everything will fall into place....thats the plan

Thank you for your advise ladies, I emailed my dr this morning and i am yet to hear from him. I understand their point of view but i don't believe i should be forced into doing something i am not 100% comfortable with. Like you said 38 weeks is not considered as full term so i really don't see the rush. This avo i noticed my bump had dripped quite a bit, this happened with my first, i know the baby is ready to come out so i'd rather let it do its thing unless i get told the baby is at a risk. If i don't hear from him, i don't know where i stand with all this, what am i meant to do. Ps congratulations on your new arrival anondubai xx

My gut instinct is telling me not to do it, i've had nightmares all night about having a c section done. I woke up and emailed my obgyne today. Told him if the baby is growing fine, in position and under no risk is it necessary. I will continue to monitor my sugar levels and have weekly check ups with both my obgyne and dietician incase anything changes. Is this the right thing to do? I don't want to annoy him as at the time he booked me in for an induction and now i feel differently. Its such a big decision in my opinion and theres no way i can rush into it.

Hello Ladies I really don't know what to do anymore. I need to loose 3-4 kilos and I have been working out and watching what I eat but nothing is happening not even .5 kilos!!! Who should I see or what should I do? Please help me… I only have 3 months to loose this 3-4 kilos!!! How many calories are you consuming daily and what work outs are you doing? If you are consuming too little this could be causing the problem I use My Fitness Pal App to track my food ( They have a phone App and an online version) I do cardio and weights on alternate dates I struggle to eat 1200 and especially with the workouts also but you have to eat slightly over the 1200 calories to see any results. I lost 2-3kg in the first week alone. Good Luck I second My Fitness Pal App, i used it and lost 15kg in 3 months, planning to use it again after my 2nd delivery. Also agree with Danykz, along with the app i never ate after 6pm, makes a huge difference, if i got hungry i had a very light snack, but its normally thirst and not hunger.

All the replies are so reassuring, im glad it has been achieved without too much pressure of using drugs and c sections. Im at city hospital too and im seeing Dr Ibrahim, i was told he was pro natural birth but this hand surgeon said hes hardly there for the birth and the midwives make all the decisions, this really got me worried. Dr Ibrahim said he likes to give it an hour after the waters break before suggesting anything but im sure you can wait longer than an hour. Right?

Thanks ladies, Been looking for veg gelatine everywhere, thought it didn't exist. I'll definitely have a look into agar agra for the future. I have a lovely baked recipe that has worked everytime, i just thought the non bake would be easier as i could make it, fridge and leave it over night rather than remembering to take it out on time. Its been a waste of time, money and ingredients so far :( <em>edited by MrsDB on 16/02/2014</em>

Turns out the guests arnt coming until tomorrow now...how annoying!!! Poor you, all this stress for...delayed guests. You *could* nip out to grocery and get the full fat supplies to make a second, perfect cheesecake ;) I did exactly that and followed the recipe perfectly again. Its been in the fridge for 9 hours now and hey presto....it didn't set again :( i totally give ip and will stick to my baked version from now on. I don't want to waste it so i might do what BintNizam123 did and serve it in glasses with canned fruit. That was my second option and was thinking of making a chocolate mousse to go with it but i honestly can not be bothered now.!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to the ladies that gave me tips. Ive been googling and i think it may have been because i used low fat creamcheese and comdensed milk...ive read up that it'll set best with full fat products only. I was trying to be a little bit good whilst imdulging in a cheese cake but i take it theres no running away from cheesecake calories. Turns out the guests arnt coming until tomorrow now...how annoying!!!

As i put the cheesecake in the freezer this morning is has already set and is firm so ive transferred it to the fridge to prevent a build up of ice. Unfortuately i can not add anything to it now. Im hoping it doesnt start sagging again, the whole cheesecake is so yummy and because of this it looks terrible. It wont b served until the evening but it seems like i have to keep a constant eye on it.

It has cream cheese, condensed milk, whipped cream along with juices and zest of a lime. The recipie suggests 12 hours should be enough. Is freezing it the wrong way to go about it?

Hiya ladies, I normally bake my cheesecake but last night i thought id try a non bake recipe. I placed it at the back of the fridge for 12 hours, the base is perfect but the topping did not set atall. Ive now constructed some DIY and wrapped baking paper around it to keep it in place and put it in the freezer for it to set. Im thinking of leaving it in there for a few hours until its firm and then transferring it bk to the fridge. Does anyone know if this is the best way to save my cheesecake? Will it eventually start sagging again once cooled? Will it taste differently as its in the freezer? Will the base be extra hard and unpleasant to eat? Any advice will be appreciated . Thanks x

Hiya ladies, I made loads of homemade samosas for guests that will be arriving soon. I put them in freezer bags and stored them in the freezer. However today when i thought i'd organise them a bit better they fell apart. I had first piled them in the bag with no order as it was getting so late and i was tired. Ive now placed them flat and managed two layers. Is layering them just a no no. Is there a better way. Ive got to redo about 15 of them which i want to avoid next time. TIA x <em>edited by MrsDB on 31/01/2014</em>

Hiya Ladies, Not been on this for a while as my DD and I have been so poorly, the weather got the better of us this time round. This pregnancy is totally different than my first. The baby seems to love it when i eat to and always kicks around loads after an good meal, with my fist i use to throw up whenever i ate meat so became veg for three months. I totally understand what you mean about the weight BellaUK, i feel comfortable now but it caught up with me in the last two months last time and then i remember feeling like a saggy balloon after birth. I really hope i don't feel like that again this time. Was wondering if anyone has had a growth scan yet? I never had one with my first as i went back to the UK and i don't think it was even discussed or an option there. Any how, i'm seeing dr ibrahim at city hospital we've booked an appointment for this Sunday. If anyone has had theirs can you let me know what to expect. Im assuming its measurements of the LO just to make sure He/she is growing fine??? Xx
