Who will pop first?

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!

Ohhhh Henia...I think its very important that you get to a doctor now...I dont wanna be a downer but your a week overdue, your amniotic fluids could be getting very low..also, your placenta can start to "get old" and break down and you dont want that to happen...Admit yourself and dont take no for an answer...

Allahmaeek Habibti, I wish there was something I could do for you...

[Henia 11]

I really wish I could admit myself! But without doctor or "water breaking" they will not admit anyone here! And here, as usual you have to know someone to get anywhere! Thank you for the info and thinking about me!

[Henia 11]

PS: Comment to Kath's husband not being with her in the birthing room: Here and in many MENA countries, hospitals and cultures purposely forbid the husband to be anywhere the birth for the stupid reason of if he sees what really goes on, then he will not have any more sexual desires for the wife, thus breakdown of the marriage! Personally, I think this is a just poor stupid excuse ... and I hate how here the husband cannot be there in emergency situations! If the man was there to make, should be there to birth it! And what a poor charachter would that man have who would actually not have sex with his wife anymore after seeing birth of HIS child ?????

Henia (((((((((((((((Henia)))))))))))))))) We've all been praying for you. I hope that you get help soon. I'm so sorry that this baby came at this time - I think you should go all bitchy American woman on them and tell them in your loudest voice, "Dammit, I'm having this baby right here, right now! So F You!!!" I do agree with what Kat said the other day, having a baby in a 3rd world country is not very romantic - in fact, this seems like it would downright suck azz!

Bless you, honey! Stay safe.

Henia...Sofyan watched it all...Birth, Placenta, and stitches (tmi i know) and it hasnt phased him one bit

Henia, my prayers are with you girl! I hope that you find some relief soon and that you and baby stay safe.

[angie & abed 1]

Henia I am so sorry. I am also praying that you can get someone to admit you so you can have your baby. It is really ridiculous. May God watch over you and your little one.

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!!!!

I just had a friend (fellow VJer) message me to see these posts! Thank you everyone for the concern! I am very touched ... esp since no one here seems to give a s##t!

Your advice is good actually K, something I am just too confused and in pain to think about ... going to *try* this out!

I am glad your husband was in the end there for you! Very good least for him, this stupid ### cultural BS of not having the husband in/around the birth was broken for you and Kelly too! Bravo to both of your husbands! My husband wants to be at the birth, buuuuuut he has tried from every angle even giving brides (something he doesn't normally do) but no one is goes for this! Basically as I said before, foreigner = a big FK you here! (Unless you pay them an outrageous amount of bride money, and I mean really outrageous!!!)

Husband has been very supportive, which I am thankful for! He was at one point before me going into labour being a jerk ... cos of my in-law and her interfering in everything I do! He is now great ... trying his best to make me comfortable .... but poor guy is helpless!

Seriously, right now I feel violent ... normally am not! But how these people are behaving it has just peeved me to the max! And all my in-laws coming to "visit" even thou I told everyone to leave me alone! I am really not in the mood for entertaining and asnwering questions! In-law supposely "helping" me out is stressing me out more then anything ... comments, pushing, giving stupid advice, asking why I am on the phone (with my friends who care), why I am not drinking tea (#######) and worrying about people robbing us(her) while my husband and I are out at the hospitals!

Sorry for venting ... I am just crying, screaming and in pain! Sorry! And thanks everyone! I wish my mum was here! And/or some of my good friends! (husband here and daughter but I feel alone!) Hugs everyone!
