I've finally got a last minute appointment with Dr Elsa at the city hospital for tomorrow morning.
Hi Soxy, how did you manage to get in with Dr. Elsa?? I had my first apt with Dr. Brit and as she won't be around for my delivery she said she'd need to recommend me to a diff doc. I liked her, but I immediately became super excited for a recommendation for Dr. Elsa. Despite my request, and her referral I did not get an appointment as there was nothing available :-( Still on the wait list for an apt with her though :-/
Hi ummzarinah, sorry for the delay in responding to your post. I'm currently travelling and not checking the form often. Yes I did get to see her and seeing her again in May. I will say that I was really lucky she saw me because she had prior appointments which were cancelled but the appointment system did not catch up so I was able to be squeezed. I will advice for you to keep checking with the hospital as you never know when she would get a cancellation and you may be lucky like I was. I am glad that I've seen her and will continue to see her. Her level of expertise and her ease with her patients are all very impressive. Good luck and keep trying.
hi Cleo4e, thanks! i saw Dr Elsa today and she was great! like you i was concerned about a natural birth after a cs but she put me at ease and hopefully i am a good candidate for VBAC. really pleased i went to see her.Hi Ladies, glad to be joining this thread. I'm 16 weeks pregnant and due early September. I've been seeing Dr Badi at the EHL clinic in the meadows but not entirely convinced about her. So after reading through various threads and people's recommendations, I've finally got a last minute appointment with Dr Elsa at the city hospital for tomorrow morning. I wanted to ask for a few pointers regarding this appointment. Initially I had planned to go back home (UK) to have the baby but due to work commitments and the great maternity leave we get in dubai (lol) I am beginning to think that that plan will not be viable especially as I intend to work up to or as close to the due date as possible. Although this is my third pregnancy, it feels all new to me because last pregnancy was 12 years ago. I'm only 35 now so started early in the past. Unfortunately, I have now forgotten everything about pregnancies and doctors etc so and so any pointers as to what questions to ask Dr Elsa about the pregnancy and what to expect in the next few weeks would be appreciated. Thanks!
I'm seeing DR Elsa at City, and I feel she's just lovely. Answers all of my questions and more. Since this is my second pregnancy- (my last one being 2 yrs ago) I didn't really have a whole lot to ask. My biggest concern was - can I VBAC and and am I a viable candidate. That was my main concern. She covers pretty much everything with you. I on the other hand- if all is well , Insha'allah-will be returning to Canada at the end of May to deliver there. With Dr. Elsa, you're in good hands and I wouldn't have too much to worry about.
