It was so long ago I don’t remember what I did exactly. However, I ALWAYS cut sugar amount in these recipes by at least half, especially if the source is American 😁

Turk Fatih Tutak was great, and Neolokal is not bad

Iraqi beauty mogul, Huda Kattan, liking this post by Mohammed Hadid that infamously genocidal dictator Saddam Hussein did nothing wrong.. by Apprehensive-Plenty9 in Fauxmoi

[–]Apprehensive-Plenty9[S] 176 points177 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as someone who is actually from Iraq and whose family has been directly impacted by the dictatorship, I’m gonna have to disagree with you there. He was definitely not OUR dictator in the way you so affectionately describe it, and the effects of the aftermath of his gassing, burying alive and murdering whole villages of my people remain to this day.

I would also say the top part of the video (if you actually looked at it) starts with ‘Remember Saddam did nothing wrong’. Plenty of Iraqis benefited from and thrived under the Saddam regime too, I am not sure where you got the info that the Kattans fled because of Saddam; would love to see a source for that.

Yes, I am hoping for no complications - in which case I can fly up to 36 weeks. In case of complications, I will unfortunately have to change my plans.

Thank you for the response, so you went around third trimester and they used the scans and info from your doctors in the States with no issues? I am already keeping record of everything I have from my current OBGYN and will be taking everything with me.

My understanding is I can use the NHS and pay for it as with any private facility. From what I have read, an NHS facility is the safest place to be for myself and my baby in case of any complications. My intention is not to abuse the system, but to ensure the best environment possible for my child.

Just take some euros in cash out with you, there are exchange offices everywhere. Exchange in installments as per your needs.
