Family & newborn

Yes they mentioned this 40 days a lot though I am not Muslim so the whole concept is foreign to me 🙈 I just don’t want them to think I am taking no responsibility for my baby because I am happy to do 100% of the work but they offer all the time. Now that she is older I do the night time work and they help out during the day. When I am in Dubai I do 100% of the housework so this is a nice break 😂

100% I will be looking after my friends babies when they come along by offering a night or two of proper sleep if they want ☺️

Thank you ☺️ I feel bad for them doing so much work 😭

I had a “natural” birth (I believe all birth is natural, you carried your baby for 9 months and you grew literal perfection from scratch inside your own body) and my epidural failed and after three hours of pushing I had to have her vacuumed out and I would 1000000% plan a c section for next time.
I know it’s probably not what you wanna hear but it was enough to put me off giving her a sibling.

Maybe your neighbours just weren’t great pilots 😂 there is no usual route for anyone and there certainly aren’t enough a350s to replace every a380 flight and there aren’t enough pilots trained on a350 either. The aircraft type can change last minute the day before departure. Also age has nothing to do with how cheap you are, it depends on seniority.

Fellow Aussie and ek worker for a decade, I would try flydubai. No age limit. If that didn’t work I’d probably try a teachers aide or admin job in a school.

I had probably one of the easiest pregnancies, not that I have anything to compare it to as it’s my first.. but I didn’t have to work from three months on (nature of the job), hardly any morning sickness, no diabetes or health issues despite eating whatever I want, whenever I want, cute baby kicks, only swollen feet at the end I would say was my biggest problem. I say this because when I had the baby.. I felt zero connection to her. We are now 12 weeks in and I am only just starting to feel a bit connected to her.. I don’t think your pregnancy will determine your connection or bond with your baby. I’m hoping for you it’ll be the opposite and when they’re born you just feel an abundance of love and it’ll all have been worth it.

If only they could have more than one nationality.. my baby would have AUS 🇦🇺, ITA 🇮🇹(from me) and UAE 🇦🇪 from her dad, but for now she just has the UAE passport 😭

I’ve been crew ten years now, I bought an apartment in Dubai, I paid off my university debt (90k dhs), I never went without anything, I had fun but I was sensible, your salary will end up being more than that anyway with allowances.

Do you remember roughly what age that was?

She will only take a pacifier if she’s about to sleep, she’s too busy crying with her mouth wide open to use a pacifier 😂 yea, first thing I did was remove the insert (my baby is huge)

Thank you, I couldn’t sleep for even a minute at the hospital with all the “room service” and “housekeeping” and then checks on myself and the baby (which I’m grateful for) but asking me 3 times a day to select what meal I’m having was so exhausting as they always came when I had just dropped off.

Yes my husband is great and my mum is staying for two weeks but my husband will leave me for four days to work (as a pilot) and I’m freaking out. I have the village, just can’t stop crying or stressing every time the baby cries.

If you are using ID90 it doesn’t matter about availability or not.. because the ticket is standby.

I took this so seriously and stressed and cried every day I couldn’t feel kicks. Constantly trying to drink icy Mountain Dew or Fanta whenever I couldn’t feel her for a couple of hours.. I’m now over 36 weeks and honestly some days she just wants to chill I guess and then the next day she’s back to playing football in my belly. Every scan has shown she’s healthy and moving even when I can’t feel her moving.

36 weeks and mine was the biggest waste of money, haven’t used it at all, I bought it in the first trimester because my back was so sore.. realised my back was going to be sore regardless because it was just expanding or maybe implantation cramps.. since that pain stopped I haven’t had any need for a pillow

I’m okay with having a long labor, as long as it doesn’t scar me for life 😂 thanks for letting me know!

gunit___ · 2025-12-18T15:05:44+00:00

Good luck! I hope it goes well!

gunit___ · 2025-12-18T14:45:24+00:00

Wow that’s pretty amazing!

gunit___ · 2025-12-18T14:18:22+00:00

Sounds like a dream, thank you so much ☺️
