Ep 43: Giving Birth in Dubai, My Birth Story
Today's episode is sponsored by Russell and Rose Home. Remember to use our exclusive code KINRR for 15% off your order.
Next of Kin The Podcast is back with season 3! I'm your host Emma, a British Expat, Mumpreneur and toddler Mum, living in Dubai, UAE, and this podcast follows along my own journey raising my daughter and starting my first business.
In today's episode, I am sharing the birth story of my daughter Bonnie, born at Kings College Hospital Dubai, UAE, back in October 2022. I sat down when she was 9 months old and recorded the story of her birth in case I, or her, would ever be interested in it. I hadn't expected to make it into a podcast episode, but I hope that sharing my story will be useful or interesting for my listeners.
- What is it like giving birth in Dubai
- Giving birth in Dubai compared to the UK
- Giving birth unmarried UAE
- Birth at Kings College Dubai UAE
- Positive birth stories
TW: Failed epidural, long labour, bleeding at 35 weeks, sick and long or irregular contractions
If you do not want to listen to the full birth story skip to 35:38 where I will answer questions on what I would change about my birth plan, what I plan to do for any future babies, my advice for those giving birth in Dubai, and how it differed from the UK.
