Hi Debbie
I have a doula friend from the UK that goes between there and the Dubai. If you want her details let me know and I'll pass them on. The doulas in the UK also had a request recently, and several other options came up. I can get those details too if you need them. From what I know, birthing women in Dubai need a lot of support. Home birth is illegal as janet says, but it still happens and theni its almost impossible to get a birth certifucate.

  Hi

  Homebirth is illegal in Dubai. Everyone births in hospital with their own surgeon. A friend of mine came home from there to have a homebirth over here. I can put you in touch with her, if you like.

  Does anyone know what the situation is in terms of getting a homebirth in Dubai?   Failing that, does anyone know of any midwives/doulas in Dubai who may have information?

  

  Many thanks
