Pregnant - Women Only Plz

Good Afternoon,

Kindly i need your help, i need Dr Mariam Salman location as the number dont answer and i need the ultrasound ASAP

Thank you

Dear All,

kindly i need your help, Dr Rizvi gave me Dr Mariam name and contact number for ultrasound but no answer

please i need to know the location ASAP

Thank you so much

He is ok. I used to go there before but then when I miscarried - which has to do nothing with the doctor at all - I hated the way he acted. He was kindda business oriented and didnt really deal well with how I felt. I really dislike him since that day.

If you are looking for other options, there is a doc also near him named Dra. Samira. I dont remember her full name but you can see the name sign on a villa.

Good luck to you

hi, im six weeks pregnant and im looking for a great obygyne.. does Dr. Fawaz A. Saad is good? since its very near our house..

yes sugar,you are right for Delivery HMC is the best Hospital.

No private hospital is better than HMC. If anything, God forbid, bad happens, they will rush you to HMC whether you like it or not. Please be smart and choose HMC for delivery.

Dear britishmuslim,You can go Al Emadi Hospital .

I m waiting for the day to feel the symptoms...

I am planning to bring my wife to Qatar.She is 4 months preggy now.There is no one really to take care of her back home in India.

I have my health card but NO insurance from Company.

Pls suggest about the COST factor involved and is it possible to go to Hamad Hospital as I have seen posts here saying that it is a good hospital for birth delivery.

Will it be costly in case if she has to go for C-section.

Becasue I can not afford very expensive hospitals as I just started my job this month.

Pls provide your valuable suggestions.

THanks a lot in advance.

Dilly,

I would recommend Al Ahli hospital. It is a private hospital, but they do not push you at all for a c-section! In fact based on my experience it was the other way around. I know they take new patients on even at the last minute of pregnancy so please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or concerns. I was very pleased with the treatment there, definitely on par with the better Dr.s in the US.

I'm 33 wks pregnant and found out I had gestational diabetes 3 wks ago. I was going to a pvt clinic but now am starting to follow up at Hamad since my current Dr doesnt do deliveries. I'm so far not impressed with the system at Hamad. They didn't give me an appointment for the GD with a dietitian until 2 weeks before I'm due, so there's no point of even seeing one! It seems they don't have many resources for pregnant women with GD, which is sad and scary. If I didn't have the internet as a resource I wouldn't have known to get a glucose monitor, what my levels should be, what to eat, etc. Another thing at Hamad, one person does the ultrasound, one doctor (or a few) you will have checkups with, and when delivery comes it will either be a midwife or a completely different doctor. Where I'm from (the US) the same Doctor that you follow with from the beginning of your pregnancy is most likely the same Dr that will hopefully deliver your baby...not someone you've never met before. And at least a few times that Dr will be the one doing your ultrasound and discussing the baby with you. Everyone wants the best Dr to deliver their baby, whats the point of finding a good Dr to start with and ending up that your child's life will be in someone else's hands. Are there at least resources about these on call Dr's in labor and delivery at Hamad?

I guess these are a few concerns I have, it's my first baby and I want the best for her. Does anyone know of any pvt hospitals that have good healthcare and will help with GD w/out having to refer elsewhere? I've heard they do more c-sections at pvt when its not necessary since its paid cash and more expensive, and a c-section is something I do NOT want. Can anyone say anything about Hamad that will make me feel better about delivering there? Something to make me look past the fact that my husband won't be able to be there for the first moments of our baby's life.

Hi can someone help me choose the best place to have a scan im only 8 weeks but I wont feel at ease unless I see the baby and make sure its healthy. Also keen to find out if its a boy or a girl.

totits, don't apologize. Sperm count is very important when a couple are trying to conceive. Aside Al Ahli as Expat Sueno is suggesting, you can go to Al Emadi Hospital or Gulf Lab, they have them done there are well. A good sperm booster is getting on some Pills. Stresstabs have done wonders ... :) Good luck Sir!

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

I go to Dr. Omar Abu Zainab . He is specialized in IVF and hormonal issues. Phone: 4567040.

Congratulation for all Pregnant

You are a Hero...

++++++++++Prevention is better than cure+++++++++

totits - Al Ahli has an Andrology unit where they should be able to check you out. They'll look at your sperm count, motility (how they move around) and the sperm morphology (whether they are formed correctly or not).

Just phone Al Ahli and ask for the Andrology Department - I've seen a sign for it. You could also just stop in and ask to make an appointment.

Btw, sorry to interrupt...I know that this thread is for preggy women only. I was just hoping u wud understand...Thanks.

Hi Everyone,

It seems that my wife and I have problem with producing an offspring. I was thinking, maybe I have the problem. My wife (now in Philippines) always asked me to undergo Sperm Count Procedure. Does anyone in this thread have any idea what Hospital or Private Clinic (in Qatar) to go for the said procedure? Also, if you have contacts...I could really use some help. Tyvm.

inshallah you'll get pregnant so soon..the joy it brings is incomparable and it is the most precious gift women received from God..

just relax and take all the vitamins doctor will give you..and also even at the first month drink mama care milk for pregnant women it helps dvelop your baby..be careful with your diet and monitor your blood pressure..

Goodluck!!!

I think Dr. Mariam Salman has both. Call her and ask.

Good luck!

Sugar Qtr -

The marketers will tell you that stretch marks are prevented by moisturizing, but current medical info says that it's just genetics and luck of the draw :( http://www.babycenter.com/0_stretch-marks_1352276.bc

Quote from the above-linked article:

What can I do to prevent stretch marks?

Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do. Gaining no more than the recommended amount of weight — in most cases, 25 to 35 pounds — and gaining it slowly may reduce your chances of getting stretch marks.

There's no proof that any of the creams, salves, and oils that claim to prevent stretch marks actually work. (Keeping your belly well moisturized as it grows may reduce itching, though.)

I didn't moisturize at all (as in never) and I was HUGE with my first child - no stretch marks. I was much smaller with #2 and didn't get them either. I know other women who spent a fortune on products to prevent them and ended up getting them anyway. In short: I would recommend saving the time/money/frustration :)

Zinc is a necessary nutrient during pregnancy, but you want to be careful not to overdo it. The normal "prenatal vitamins" should take care of it for you - I wouldn't seek out zinc supplements without the advice of your doctor.

http://parenting.ivillage.com/pregnancy/psafe/0,,3wd7,00.html

Hope you have some good news for us soon ;)

rishimba, do you know if they sell them here? We can add the suppliers list to the main thread.

They said the Stretch marks are minimized by moisturizing it twice a day.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

Thank you thank you thank you for such great information.

Folic Acid is important, but the Zinc and stretch marks? I'll ask about it and let you know what I am told.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

How you take Zinc?

is it a transvaginal ultrasound?

Something useful for all the pregnant ladies. Something a doctor told me years ago, way before I ever had a child.If you want to avoid having stretch marks, take zinc. I did whrn I have my child and did not get any. Dont know if it was luck or due to the zinc. But worth a try.

Aisha-Taweela

i just gave birth last jan 5 at al ahli my dr. there was dr.naseem,she did great on my incision. i had an emergency c-section due to cord prolapse...lesson that ive learned with my pregnancy was: don't eat too much lols or dont get urself gain so much weight and walk and walk and walk plus if ur planning to concieve drink folic acid ahead of time it'll surely help. ;)

________________________________________________

Another doctor to add would be Dr. Omar Abu Zainab (private). He is specialized in IVF and hormonal issues. Ph. 4567040.

Also Gwen Newnham used to do Lamaze classes. Sorry dont know her number anymore.

Aisha-Taweela

lizajane, you can see Dr. Mariam Salman's number. You will get an appointment if not the same day, the next day. Good look.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

I would assume that you could call/visit Al Ahli to schedule an appointment, but that's only a guess. Hopefully someone else will have a more definitive answer for you.

hi all,

is there anyone can tell me where to go for an ultrasound? just for a follicle monitoring since i am a PCOS for now. We wanted to concieve a baby. pls help.tnx

I think you probably would have! She worked til 38 weeks though, and we left 8 weeks after the birth, so there wouldn't have been much time!

tallg -

I wish I had hooked up with your wife while you were my neighbor. I think we would have gotten on quite well :)

tallg, thanks. I'll look it up. I'm not too sure what to want as of yet.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

Sugar Qtr - have a look into 'hypnobirthing' techniques for pain management - breathing and visualisation. My wife found it amazing and had no need for pain relief. Also, if you decide you want to avoid pain relief if at all possible make sure it's written into your birth plan that you don't want the staff to keep asking you if you want it - they are very persistent in trying to make you take it.

Nearly all pain relief have side affects for you and your baby, so be sure you definitely want it.

nomerci, each person has their own agenda in life. We are in no position to judge anyone. Allah is above us all and he will not forget a soul.

rishimba: I remember my mom used to walk all the time when she was pregnant. Especially when she was closer to her due date. She never c-Sectioned and wasn't given Epidural. She was always for natural births.

dmigtysolomon, thank you for your advice and let me know of any recommended by people you know.

Expat Sueño, its Ok. Soon I'll become.

tallg, so true. I know a lot of friends that went for a c-Section for various reasons. I was never FOR c-Sections if they could be avoided. My sisters both had their first normal delivery, then the rest they insisted on having the epidural because the pain was unbearable. I'm debating that myself - although I am not pregnant, as of yet.

Too many things to consider and think about pre-conception. May Allah help us all.

Ice Maiden, no one is alike. I think I will not allow anyone by myself bathe my baby, change its diapers, feed or even put to sleep. But that is just me. We have to think and remember that people have mouths to feed, and they cannot afford to be a full time mom. I will not speak about the wealthy who rely on house maids and nannies, because that is plain sad.

I want a child to experience everything with. Not just another person added to the population.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

I am with No Merci on that. If a woman can't take care of herkids herself, she shouldn't have them in the first place.

The support "staff" ie the maids etc..is just that, the support. The mothers take prime responsibility for the kids.

"We live life forward, but understand it backward"

I found that the ob-gyns in Qatar are very set in their ways, so it's important to read up about pregnancy and childbirth so you are aware of the other ideas and options available to you. For example, the idea of not having any pain relief was met with shock by several ob-gyns. Yet read up on the subject of pain relief during childbirth and you'll see why there's a good argument for not having it unless absolutely necessary.

C-section and episiotomy rates are high in Qatar, but you should never feel pressured into having either of them unless absolutely necessary.

Tips for pregnancy/childbirth in Qatar (based on experience at Al Alhi);

- Read up about stuff yourself and be prepared to stick to your views despite strong disagreement from doctors (but also remember that doctors have better medical knowledge than you!)

- Write a birth plan and get it signed by the doctor, and use this during the birth to ensure you get what you want

- Get a Doula, preferably one whose used the hospital before. They are an invaluable source of support during birth, and they know how to deal with the doctors and nurses. They are worth every penny.

I must take this opportunity to commend Dr Sujartha at Al Ahli, who was very good at accommodating our needs and allowing us to do things how we wanted.

oops - sorry Sugar Qatar! I assume you were pregnant. . .good luck with it :)

Pregnancy is one thing...a very small one compared to what comes after. The most important thing is that you are 100% ready for this. A child is the biggest responsibility you will ever, and forever, have in your life.

I see a lot of people who have a number of children, and their lives have changed very little. Why? Because they do not take the responsibilities of having children on . They let others do this for them. That, IMHO, is wrong, and sadly , more often than not we can see the results of this running rampant in manyways and forms.

To those people I suggest to foraske the joy of procreating.

What comes around, goes around....

What happened to your Englis...Wallah!

Why came over you? Your writing style has become horrible!

Why don't you use your original old Style of English?

Wallah!

bleu, shukran brother.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

mmmmm I'M NOT PREGNANT - YET. I'm considering it though.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

Scary!

Childbirth is not "easy" per se, but the medical establishment in the U.S. (especially in TX) has a very high (unnecessarily so) c-section rate and I wanted to do everything in my power to avoid one.

I'm not a soft-and-fuzzy "childbirth is lovely" type of person by any means. . .I had just read enough to understand that it's all a slippery slope - inducement leads to an epidural, which leads to a *MUCH* higher chance of a c-section, which carries a *MUCH* higher risk of injury/death to the mum/baby - both of which I wanted to avoid.

Doctors convince women that their section was necessary for all sorts of reasons - baby was "too big" (mine were both over 8.5lbs and I'm not a big gal), cord was around neck (once for my son, twice for my daughter - happens in ~30% of births), baby was "in distress (read up on fetal heart monitors), etc.

The fact of the matter is that the World Health Organization recommends no more than 10-15% of births be c-sections. . .yet in the U.S. the rate is 30% (40% in some areas). Elective c-sections aside, doctors convince each and every one of the moms that their c-section was necessary because _______. It really gets my goat. Statistically, most of the non-elective c-sections occur when it's time for the doctors to go home - i.e. dinner time and bed time. Hmmm.

That said, sometimes they really and truly are necessary and I'm 100% supportive of those. A friend of mine in the U.S. had a c-section a couple of weeks ago to save her life; she had somehow developed pneumonia, which was not diagnosed (trouble breathing, tired, vomiting - all common pregnancy side effects, right?). By the time they realized what was going on her lungs and her heart were failing. . .so they delivered the baby a month or so early. Even then, they were giving her a 50/50 chance of surviving - scary.

Anyway, I think the most important part of reading will be to understand what is supposed to happen during childbirth and what happens during today's childbirths. It's a real eye-opener. . .

Congratulations on your pregnancy SQ!

one will not need to go to hospital for delivery... lol

Is it OK to play football while carrying a baby?

Sugar, If this is your first baby, I'm sure you're terrified. The Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt would just disappear, it's a natural process... Books are good, but they're not really required... Many mothers from the last generation had 12+ kids with no books, reading, hospitals, preparation,... and they were all OK.

I'll write it again. Don't worry.

WOW Expat Sueño, thank you so much for this information. I can only imagine how one could give birth to two children without doctors, medication and a hospital. Was it difficult?

I will be ordering a book or two, or even maybe three from the ones that you suggested.

Again, thank you for sharing ,,,,,!

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

tallg and I subscribe to the same philosophy of childbirth ;)

I also hated the "what to expect" series. It is "dumbed down" to the lowest common denominator and is full of ridiculous warnings regarding don't eat/do this/that - absurd. It treats pregnancy as some sort of disease that might kill you or your baby if you're not careful. There is some useful info in the book, but I didn't appreciate the "you are an idiot so learn from us" tone that is prevalent throughout the book.

While I adore Ida May Gaskin, her philosophies may be a bit "out there" for most women. I read her book and enjoyed it, but it was even a bit too out there for me. . .and I gave birth to both kids in the presence of midwives and doulas only (no docs, no drugs, no hospital). :)

One book that I did enjoy was "The Essential Guide to Pregnancy Over 35" http://www.amazon.com/Essential-Over-35-Pregnancy-Guide/dp/0380788195 ; it honestly doesn't have that much to do with being over 35. . .it's just a good resource. I enjoyed the week-by-week chapters of what was happening with the baby - size, development, etc.

Another good resource is "The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby" http://www.amazon.com/Unofficial-Guide-Having-Baby/dp/076454148X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265380877&sr=1-1 It's a good overall resource without the ridiculous (and continuous) scare-you-to-death warnings of the "what to expect" series.

I highly, highly recommend "Misconceptions: Truth, Lies, and the Unexpected on the Journey to Motherhood" by Naomi Wolf http://www.amazon.com/Misconceptions-Truth-Unexpected-Journey-Motherhood/dp/0385497458/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265380979&sr=1-5 as one of the first books to read. In her book Wolf discusses the way in which childbirth has become "medicalized", the ways in which we're taught to think that a medicalized birth is the norm and the ways in which a medicalized birth can actually be hazardous to your (and your baby's) health - *much* higher mum/baby death rates for "normal" hospital deliveries than at home or with a midewife only. She backs it up with heaps of statistics. . .a very good read.

Ricki Lake's documentary "The Business of Being Born" is something that I highly recommend as well.

Happy reading :)

anp80, thank you so much for your contribution. I am sure this will be very helpful for many when needed.

dmigtysoloman, true, but the woman has to keep up with herself, her space, her child, her husband, her house: basically everything. If married to an unsupportive husband, which I am sure many are, may Allah be with them. Thank you for sharing your comments and thoughts!

So Ice Maiden and soniya, is that you confirming that you will be trying to conceive for a 2010 baby?

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

yes, very true ice maiden...I had enjoyed my pregnancy more then anything else in my life..That was the best period to which i will cherished thruout my life..EVERY WOMEN SHLD EXPERIENCE MOTHERHOOD ATLEAST ONCE IN THEIR LIFE..it makes them a complete women..isn't it a true saying??

Sugar Qtr, being pregnant will be the best time of your life. You may/may not have the usual symptoms like nausea, strange hunger pangs, but that all fades away when you sense and feel the life that is growing inside you. You feel special and blessed, and the bond between you & hubby also becomes stronger.

nightwalker77, thanks for the info.!

perfectStranger, thank you for sharing your comment. So true and real.

qatarisun, I'm not appreciative of any lame comments. Do I will disregard yours.

asif_khan, thank you for your comment.

edifis, if only.

tallg, you don't need to be a woman to relate. Being a son, husband and father gives you the right to share your experiences. Thank you.

Ice Maiden, I think you should give it a go. Good luck and let me know your decision..

LeBaNeSeMaN, subhan Allah. Mothers are great!

soniya, good for you! I wish you a happy life with your child and family.

polkadots, I think pregnancy breaks the boring routine of life. So, looking forward to the big belly.

Thanks all for sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated!

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

hi sugar...i never read ne book while i was pregnant..Just be calm n think positive all the time..Never indulge in any kind of tensions..It may shoot up the blood pressure..And yes,i was worried for my weight increase as well coz i hate to put on weight and look like a plump..lolzzzzzz..Jokes apart, i had really balanced well my office n household chores during my pregnancy..And shed too fast all pregnancy weight..I have left my job to take care of my baby now..will start work again once my baby will be mature enough..

Dot.com Good Morning :D

Women today are not able to give birth naturally. Most of them undergo ceaserian operation. These women are very fragile and ... brittle.

my Grandma gave birth to 7 men without any surgeries and they became doctors,managers, engineers, teachers and she didnot know how to read or write :P

is a REAL FEAMALE :-)

A good example by 'perfectStranger'

"Even if you polish bronze for years it will never turn into Gold.."

QS, that "man" is a FEMALE man.

Sugar Qtr, no that was back home.. i guess when one gets pregnant, you develop your maternal instinct somehow and it continues to develop gradually.. :)

Sugar Qtr - off the top of my head I personally recommend 'Birth and Beyond' by Yehudi Gordon and Ina May's 'Guide to Childbirth'.

But it's a personal thing. Best to read or at least scan through as many as possible and decide what's best for you. A quick flip through them in the book shop will soon tell you which are in tune with your thinking and which aren't.

But then again, I'm not a woman, so perhaps you shouldn't listen to anything I say.

I wish we could interview the baby just after the delivery!

What would be its reaction like?

If it could communicate how would he narrate his adventures?

Even if you polish bronze for years it will never turn into Gold..

I mean ...no matter how many men become pregnant, they cannot take a mothers place...something that God has created, natural.

we should respect women for their ability to conceive which we men can't hats-off to all pregnant women and the women who wants to be pregnant

why women only? men also can be pregnant.. just recently second man in the world delivered a baby...

Love my mother the most, and trust me all your kids have the same feeling.

mjamille28, was it while you were in Qatar?

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

been there, 6 years ago.. though i never read books on pregnancy, but i did alright i guess.. :)

anp80, thanks for the information. I'll check her out ...

bleu, thank you for the support. It isn't as easy as some people make it seem.

tallg, what do you recommend?

rishimba, so true. But it is always good to share experiences. Thank you.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

Hey tallg, I do not think so. It was just simply written book with some basic facts that anyone would easily understand. Its just what I think. Not necessary that others shall agree.

"What To Expect When You are Expecting" is perhaps the most patronising and poorly written book on pregnancy I've ever read. Avoid it like the plague. There are dozens of better ones out there.

Sugar,

Don't worry... No matter how hard it is, you won't regret it.

Holding a newborn baby that was in your body for 9 months is something we men can never feel.

Sugar Qtr...hi...well i was on folic acid for the first 3 months. all docs recommend tht and later on my doctor put me on multi vitamins...i am still taking them

I visit Dr. Kudsiya Begum,her clinic is in Al-waab...some of my friends recommended her coz initially during my tenth week i experineced slight spotting and my pals thought she wud give good care....and she is actually good. I have been going to her since then, and am quite satisfied but its also important to register with Hamad hospital as the delivery shall b carried out their or if u prefer a pvt. hospital u can do tht too...do let me know if u need to know anyhting else sister...take care

What type of vitamins, supplements are you on while pregnant, anp80? Also, who is your dr. here?

All this information can be very helpful and useful for all the mothers out there.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

drmana, thank you so much for the recommendation. I bought the book 'The Working Woman's Pregnancy Book'. VERY helpful I tell you.

anp80, congratulations! I'm very happy for you. May Allah make this pregnancy as easy as can be. Yes, my sister had different symptoms with each pregnancy, but overall surely someone can relate.

~*Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret*~

well this is my second pregnancy and i am already in my 21st week...first 3months as most of the women wud tell u r not tht great, with all the hormonal changes happening (nausea,vomiting etc etc) the best thing u can do is relax and be very careful coz the first trimester is very fragile...do visit the doc regularly...the 2nd trimester is pretty much easy and u can actually enjoy the period specially after u feel the first movements of ur baby it really feels great! the third trimester is pretty much ok except tht u tend to get heavy so its better to start shopping for the baby before hand...next the delivery well dont want to say much just tht if its a natural birth u will forget all the pain u went thru labor when u first see ur baby and thts a moment to cherish! May all the women have safe and sound pregannies and enjoy their time with their little ones..Ameen

PS: all women experience different symptoms, the above is my experience...not sure if the rest wud feel the same..

I highly Recommend the book " What To Expect When You are Expecting". It was really a big help and guide when I was Pregnant.

But is 66+ years not too late to conceive? :-)oops..sorry he he he
