sorry the link couldnt open, I delivered there in march last year, my Dr was Dr Iliana but towards the end of my pregnancy she had to go on vacation so Dr Ensaf delivered my baby. Dr Iliana is a great Dr and am sure you will love her too, i didnt feel rushed, she answered all my questions even the stupid ones as I was a 1st time mum. With Dr Ensaf, I felt pushed and brushed off whenever I asked something . You will be in great hands my dear with Dr Iliana. thanks a lot! i chose her because of many good reviews here on EW, but a little skeptical, mainly about Belhoul. as I have read here, most prefer city or al wasl... i have my first appt on 16th! hope to see little bub and heart beat! the hospital is great and I liked it, the nurses were lovely and very helpful in all the ways. All the best to u and the little one

Hey muu, that sounds reassuring! Im just hoping it isnt anything critical..i regret reading about it online, as it told me more than I need to know!! Just on another note- who was ur doc at Belhoul? how was ur experience etc? Hi, My Dr was Dr Ensaf, I would never go back to her, my experience wasnt good at all, if you are with Dr lliana then you are in good hands. Hope the itchiness is better now

You can takea stroller but it depends on how crowded the bus is. People don't seem to be very considerate of people with prams/with babies so you might have to tell them to move for you! If you use the rear doors on most buses that's closest to the pram/wheelchair spot. I woud try to avoid the Dubai Mall metro bus unless you can go when it's not busy or you really need to! just from what I have seen lately... thank youso much SkyKitty

I'd say the easiest thing to do is to go to the Heels & Deals session on 30th January - this one has a speaker on setting up a business so would answer all your questions! http://www.heelsanddeals.org/events/event/33-company-formation-a-estate-planning.html[/quotetha thanx

Hi, towards the end of my pregnancy I had the same itchinessall over my body, spoke to my Dr about it and they did some tests to see ifit could be the liver problem, the test came out ok. The Dr prescribed some pills that I to take only when necessary for 3days. After some few days, the itchiness stoppes. BTW, I too delivered at Belhoul

I think Puffinlunde makes some good points. Especially about the schools ... perhaps the OP hasn't looked into this yet, but school fees are astronomical here. And it is difficult to homeschool here legally ... *like*

sorry dear for what you are going through andjustwant to tell you not to lose hope., try to cut down on what you pay for rentals, you find find nice apartment in some good locations where you will be paying less than what you are currently paying. By so doing, you will be able to save the liitle you can, have u checked al barsha, al nahda etc. Am a stay at home mu, we pay our rentals too so we chose to live in a cheaper bt nice location to enable us save some money as Dubai is not a permant place. so just work on adjusting your budget first. hope your DH gets a better job. a big hug to u;)

With that company, there is no job security. My husband worked for that company and we learnt it the hard way, they later offered him a job and he refused to take it and would never go back. The choice is yours, he can take the job and still be on the look out for other jobs just incase things dont go well.

If she doesn't want to accept your kind invitation and if she isn't in any way threatened, live and let live. But perhaps just be there on the periphery in case she does. Good luck x hope she is safe wherever she has gone, the man did not open the door for her

I would not recommend anyone to go there, from my very bad personal experience.. I don't want to go to the details yet as I have made an official malpractice complaint. I will just say my baby girl's hand has been injured due to the inexperienced doctor. and she suffers from erb's palsy (google it) In order for her to be able to move her hand (close to normal) she will need 2 surgeries before she reaches 9 months. each costs 100 thousand dirhams. Don't make my mistake and try to save up on the hospital ... avoid any heartache and look for proper hospital.. I wish all the pregnant ladies all the best ... health for you and your babies... sorry to hear that, hope your baby gets better as she grows

Hi, i delivered in march with Dr Ensaf at Belhoul Speciality Hospital. I wouldnt recommend her at, I always felt rushed, did not ask about my history, when i ask a question she would not answer in the way a Dr should or she would just say it doesnt matter. I asked her for my exact due date and all she would say is it doesnt matter. Iused to feel silly asking her questions. She encouragesinductions and c sections even when not necessaryto matchher schedue. I would never ever go back to her. Dr Illiana is a great Dr glad uyou switched to her

Yes you are right about why take it with all the other stuff - it says on the bottle that you can take it alone but i think the mixture is more about getting fluids into your body and when you so tired you forget to drink. It sounds like alot of juice but considering its over a period of 24hours 3L is acctually not that much. The fenugreek you are only allowed to take 2 tablets 3 times a day - I did it and it did nothing for me. Muu - I have the breastfeeding tea but you have to drink between 3 - 5 cups a day if im correct? Is this the hipp organic one? Do you put lemon in it then? I think the tea is acctually very nice. I like the taste of it :-). I am currently exprssing 120ml 4 - 5 times a day. Im trying to increase it by expressing more but this is not working. I know you have to express every 2 - 3 hours and no longer than 30 min. And to increase it you have to do it for 48hr. Right now im expressing for 20 - 25 min. Having a 2 yr old and a 3 month old is hard work on its own, so expressing takes alot out of me and Im sure allot of other mommy's out there as well. The thing is I know he needs to be on 180ml per feed now and he is not and wants more afterwards. Other than that, us travelling soon is the main reason I want to try diff things. Will see my dr again in 2 weeks so if this juice is not working i will def ask him about Motilium. Kiwispiers I do appreciate you swift replies and I take all you say into account. I am also starting to realize that if it does not work out then its ok - as i have been feeding him for 3 months and i am proud it lasted this long. So if nothing works i will eventually stop expressing and put him on formula. Then I will have even more time to spend with my 2 precious children. I too love the tea, yes i put the lemon in the tea. I just use this and my supply is very very good
