Books on Pregnancy
We just found out recently from the untrascan that my wife is 6 weeks pregnant. As a husband and father-to-be, I'm trying to find books on pregnancy, to find more tips and know-hows to assist her for the next 8 months or so.
I've tried to go down to Jarir Bookstore and City Centre, but to no avail. Does anyone know where in Doha can I get these books? Or if you have such books, I don't mind buying a 2nd hand book.
PM or email me. May you have a splendid day ahead.
Thank you.

hey zahrin first and ...hey zahrin first and foremost congrats to you and yr wife .
regarding books on pregnancy , one that i really treasured is the one by Dr Miriam Stoppard is a book fr the time the mother conceives till the baby turns 3 yrs of age. is really a very good book with tips and all, i had this book when i was in the family way and was living abroad with my husband where we were away fr family and friends (to ask for tips and advice) and this as i called my 'bible' was indeed a tremendous help. hope you will be able to get it at either Virgin bookstore or Jarir ...gl
life's too short so make the most of it, you only live but once.......

Thank you. Villagio, ...Thank you.
Villagio, why didn't I think of that? You know when you get so excited, you tend to forget even the simpliest things in life. Luckily I remembered Qatar Living though....

Zahrin ...Mariam Stoppards book is one of the best. My husband loved it when I was pregnant with my first child.
zahrin said
Yea, my wife and me are ...Yea, my wife and me are 6000 miles away from family and close friends to ask for tips and advices.
Went to Jarir last night, but out of luck. I'll go to my favourite mall tonight!! Hope Virgin has a wide variety of authors.
Thank you for your recommendation, it suits our situation now. Appreciate it alot!

I received Dr Miriam ...I received Dr Miriam Stoppard's book as a gift frm my friend when i got pregnant with my first child, it's very informative, i dont know if u could find it here. Try Virgin bookstore.
spicemom said
agree with ya mis cat, and ...agree with ya mis cat, and wat we did when i was pregnant was (since darlin husband aint the readin type) before we go to bed at night we would read it out loud(or rather i would read it out loud) together and man that was so comforting to know that he too was into it (at least to some point we the women dont go it alone).hubby felt that he was bonding with JR fr the very start.........

If your husband loves it, ...If your husband loves it, i'll guess i'll find a new love too then... hehehe.
It's been a VERY long time since i read something informative, i guess Dr Mariam Stoppards really get the hubbies involved too huh.
Mis-Cat said
Zahrin ...youand your wife can always ask any questions here or in the mums in doha group. i am sure most of the mums on this site would be glad to help.

i was 'introduced' to DR ...i was 'introduced' to DR Miriam Stoppard some many many moons ago when she had her own TV talk show for pregnant mothers and infants and that is how i knew /heard of her(and right smack on time too as after a mth or so i found myself to be in the family way, infact if i had had a daughter i would've named her Miriam)

spicemom ...i think the reason why most dads to be like it is because as women most of us pretty much know whats going on with our bodies and the changes we are going through during prenancy. Our husbands can feel a little left out because while its happening for them its not happening to them. My husbands favorite bits were looking at the progression of growth from weeks to weeks.
zahrin said
I googled for the author ...I googled for the author and, yea, i guess i must buy it. If i cant find it at Virgin, i might buy it thru Amazon...
As we're going to be a 1st time parent, i guess your comment can be handy. Thank you.
zahrin said
Lucky enough it isnt a ...Lucky enough it isnt a bedtime story. hehehe
As i mentioned before, i'm not into reading, but if it's for my family, i'll be more enthusiastic to know more.....
zahrin said
Oh yes definately, I'll ...Oh yes definately, I'll make sure that both of us minggles around with such groups that will helps us alot.
Mis-Cat said
Zahrin ...Don't worry you don't have to read the whole book. Hubby did'nt, he just read the more informitive pictures.hehehe. But seriously, there is a lot in these books that you proberbly wont relate too. we used it as more as a sort of guide than any thing else. the best way is to ask people about their experiances and pick which ones relate to your situation.
zahrin said
Daughter named Miriam...y ...Daughter named Miriam...y not also motivate her to be a Dr too. :)
Well, I've never heard of her before, i guess because I alwals give it a miss when it comes to topics about pregnancy. In a matter of just an hour, with the help of you and others, "introduced" me to Dr Miriam Stoppard.
spicemom said
if i had a daughter she ...if i had a daughter she would;ve been named MIRIAM but we have a fine 16 yr old young man and we couldnt have asked for more..............

zahrin said
As of now, i can agree with ...As of now, i can agree with you. What else can we do aside from taking note of the growth progression from time to time.
But what makes me worried is that the pain she's been and will be suffering. How i wish i can make her feel slightly comfortable. Maybe Dr Miriam Stoppard, or the forum can help me out on this......
I'm going thru the various threads in this forum which i find intresting regarding mum-to-be and best place to give birth, etc.....
zahrin said
I agree with you. The book ...I agree with you. The book acts as a self reference guide. True-life experiences counts especially when we are not in a familiar environment and culture that we're used to.
And to think it again, i have to confess that i've never finish reading a book, magazines, or anything eventhough how intresting it is.
In fact, i guess it's just a Man's thing that we would be more intrested in pictures and diagrams.............
zahrin said
Good to know that your son ...Good to know that your son is all fully grown now. Life is a surprising miracle.
Like your tagline, i'm experiencing the taste life as i grow more mature.......
Thank you for all your tips and advices. For sure qatar living will see more of me and my wife......
