me and hubby went to Adnoc Clinic for my follow-up chek-up. he just waited at the lobby since males are not allowed in the female clinic. anyhow, i appreciate his gesture to wake up early and did not have any tantrums in waiting for more than 45 minutes...haha.

after confirming with my Ob-geny that my blood sugar and urine were OK, we headed straight to the Corniche Hospital. it is situated at the end of the Corniche Road, just adjacent to the Sheraton Hotel.

the said hospital specializes in maternity admissions/treatment only. we were there around 8:45 AM. like Adnoc clinic, husbands were only allowed in the male visiting area. with that, i decided to let hubby go to work instead of wasting his time. wawa naman siya at maiinip. the queue for opening of file in the said hospital took ages! it costed me 100 dirhams (50 for the file and 50 for the blood test) and 2 solid hours! good thing, despite of the long queue, a beautiful pakistani woman who sat beside me was nice. at least, it's good to know that not every arab women who wore an abaya is a snob. good vibes for both our babies to keep smiling always. =)

after having signed up, i also had a blood test (again!) and that compulsary breastfeeding seminar. as discussed, they said that the hospital encourages breastfeeding so 30 minutes after the baby is born, they will room him in with me. wow... so exciting! just wasn't so sure if i'll have milk that early. baka mangayayat si baby sa akin... hehe. anyway, my next check-up with this hospital is on the 7th of Feb. while for the Adnoc Clinic will be on the 31st of January.
