It was very hard. I went through some weird stages. First disbelief, then uncontrollable crying, next anger and hate (this stage scared me), then finally acceptance.

I was pregnant again about 2 weeks after I delivered the first baby. I was both thrilled and terrified it would happen again.



I didn't have toxemia, but i did have a baby that died at 33 1/2 weeks due to the placenta ripping away. That was almost 20 years ago, and I too got pregnant right away. I was terrified also. My heart goes out to you, and i so worry about Henia, hoping her and that baby will be alright!

Hello everyone!

First off would like to congrats to Samira and Kath on their precious babies! I love both names they picked out! And then secondly, I would like to thank everyone for the posts, SMSs, emails and PMs! And amin to all the prayers!

Sorry I have not been online, but just been hard few days! Like I said before, no doctors during Ramadans, even the interns and nurses seem to be MIA! My husband has taken me now to 3 hospitals trying to get admitted but no luck! We donnot have any connections and with doctor to exam me they will call it "emergency" to admit me! Still waiting on the doctor (who my friend in the US knows) to get back to me so I can get admitted in the military hospital!

I have been in "labour" now 2 days ... contractions now up to every 5m ... but my water hasn't broke and contractions same (5m) for 1,5 day now! Pain is something else I tell you! We went (again) last night after I started having some "blood" ... the woman there didn't even check me but was more concerned about "how I got my husband his papers" then my pregnancy. No one checked me internally and barely looked at my pregnancy paperwork! Would not let my husband in, since it's forbidden to let husbands in the maternity area! #######! And my in-law who is staying with us to help me out, was more concerned about someone stealing from our house, so of course she couldn't come! Again #######! All these people are disappointing me beyond belief. People are inhuman here!

I had my husband look online for any and all ways to progress the birth ... eating pineapple, breast stimulation, etc but nothing so far is working! At the hospital, the woman told me to drink some tea and go home ... since as she said "We have no room for you" meaning you are a foreigner, fk you!

I really wish we had gotten a better back-up plan ... like not having this baby HERE! Can you imagine being in labour and a so-called medical profession asking you "Are you going to have the baby here?" No ... I am just here for fun, to gossip about my personal life (how I got my husband his "papers") then when I am ready I am to jump in my Concord and have the baby in some chic private clinic in the US! LOLOL I wish, believe me I really wish right now!

Can't wait to see some more baby pix! Congrats again to the new mums!

I will tell you what to do but it will make some people nutty.GO TO THE AMERICAN EMBASSY AND SIT THERE AND TELL THEM YOU ARE IN LABOR. When the american embassy gets on the phone to the hospital MIRACULOUSLY you will be admitted. PULL THE I AM A AMERICAN CARD. .. This is the one time it will work and matter. Call the Americans today.

Unfortunately, every one will show his ### today and in labor. I am so glad you messaged us. I think you are at the point you need to call the AMERICAN EMBASSY and scream for help. You are American. They are supposed to help Americans in crisis.. If you are in labor in their lobby, someone will get off their ### and help you..




Sounds like the best idea yet!!!!

Who knows? It's really fun to speculate about the sex, but I honestly have no idea!

My husband thinks it's going to be a boy--maybe because there are 7 boys and only one girl in his family (his sister is the youngest one--imagine having 7 big brothers in Morocco--talk about being overprotected! wacko.gif )--I'm not convinced either way.

Strangely enough, I'm not that nervous/scared about labor right now--I'm just excited...I just hope we don't have to wait too much longer!



Good Luck Carolyn!!!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but MEN don’t always use tac when dealing with issues of weight or looks. My husband will just say what he thinks, not being mean, just thinking we are married and can be honest with each other, I always say, “take it easy,” I am very sensitive. Lol He just wants you healthy, and loves you, but yea I feel ya.

He is probably like other Moroccan men. On his way home he stopped by the coffee shop and chatted with friends, then he wondered home, directly in the kitchen looking for food. Sat down and watched a little TV. Then he thinks to himself "oh yeah, I had better call my honey". Am I far off here? headbonk.gif

OK MENA peeps. If anyone ever thinks it sounds kind of funny to trick the vegetarian at your work place into eating beef (especially) or some kind of meat, try finding out WHY they don't eat it in the first place. Right now I am covered in hives, have NO benedryl, and just had to force myself to vomit up the entire co ntents of my stomach because I figured out I ate beef because someone thought they could "teach me to like it." Guess what? I like beef. i like chicken. i like all kinds of things. #1: I am allergic, highly allergic, to Ceftiofur, an antibiotic used in cattle. That is why at the moment, I have hives EVERYWHERE including places you can only imagine, also on the bottoms of my feet, my fingers, and EVERYWHERE. really. #2: my gall bladder works OK.... but not that well. so i manage things through diet, That means I kind of monitor the ammount of cheese, oils, and any lipids I have ingested and keep a constant idea. I don't like having my monitoring thrown off. OMG I have to go now, I am itching like crazy and I need a SHOWER again, the 5th shower in 2 hours. it's like my hives are becoming one freaking big hive.



how can people be so damn mean? hope you feel better soon. try a bath with baking soda in it!
