My husband and I have our original passports and MOFA attested marriage certificate, but neither of us have our spouse's name endorsed in the passport.

• Is it mandatory to have the spouse name endorsed for issuing birth notification, birth certificate, birth registration and issuance of passport?
• Also, is it a good idea to give my passport now for addition of spouse's name? I am due in October and would it be a risk if I give for renewal since the birth notification at hospital requires the original passport of the mother and the father?

Requesting your guidance, I know its last minute

Hi, I would like to know step by step procedures and formalities that are to be followed for indian babies born in the UAE. So far all I know is we need the marriage certificate, passports and ID copies for birth registration at the hospital.

• Also, how is the birth registered in India?
• Any equivalency kind of certificate to be prepared for registering the birth in India?

Hi, I want to know if its better to keep a lady for postpartum massage and bath or get it done at Ayurvedic centre.

I am interested in Kottakkal centre as it’s near to my location and also prefer doing it in the clinic rather than home due to space issues at home. Would like to know if its effective than keeping a lady?

During my previous pregnancy, I had postpartum massage done in Kerala. The lady used to massage my body with oil and some powder, and then do a bath with hot water that looked brown, after that she would tie my belly and we were done for the day.

Almost 31 weeks and the baby is breech, last time we checked baby is transverse and before that head down.

I do not have a doula or any support. The country where I live we go to the doctor for appointments and during the delivery a midwife is appointed to us. Also we do not have a doula culture.

Anyways, what should I be doing to encourage optimal position? I walk daily, and do household work. Thats all. I have seen much more stuff on youtube like using a birth ball and other exercises to open up pelvis etc. But I dont know where to start.

Please help me out? Is it too late to start with any of the exercises. Also, this is my first baby, technically second because I have had a termination at 5th month previously which also felt like labour with all the contractions and the baby coming out.

I am a FTM 28 years old, I had to quit my job in June due to the toxic atmosphere and the long working hours which wasn’t helping my nausea and morning sickness either. Now I am nearly 30 weeks and the excitement that I initially felt for pregnancy is fading? I don’t know how to put it into words, I feel like I am losing my identity. I see all these newborn nightshift videos and all that makes me feel is if I would be just doing that and will I even have another identity or feel myself. I dont know when can I start working as well. Since May I have been spending my time crocheting, reading books and picking up on hobbies that I never had time while working. But I dont want this phase to go on forever. Also I have never been someone who was all eager for motherhood. Dont get me wrong, I wanted children but I am not one of those who get so excited. People around me are happy that I took a break for the pregnancy and now its time for motherhood. But I dont like the way how that sounds. I just feel like I meed to go to work as soon as possible and have something to do other than just being a mom. I dont know how to explain how I feel. Is there anyone like me?

28 year old FTM here. I quit my job recently because of the extended working hours and stress it gave me. Now I am home, and I don’t know when can I return back to work. I see all these negative stories and reels where people say they cant find time after having a baby and how having kids in general is stressful.

I need to know experiences of moms who went back to work/education and aced it while still having children. I want to know cases where moms felt better personally and became much more organized after having a baby while still not giving up themselves and their babies.

Hi, I wanted to know if there are recommendations for book that would also have details regarding the secrets of the colosseum, the architectural intricacies of Pantheon etc along with the history as well. I came across SPQR but I think it’s just history and they explain nothing about the buildings or the city. I may be wrong too so please help me out.

So I was really fascinated by Angels and Demons that I went to Rome and followed the Path of Illumination. I would like to know if there are any similar books may be on a different country or something that mixes up mystery and history.

Hi I am looking for cheap bags that I can buy as gifts to people when I go back home. Something below 15 euros?

Hi so I just gave an interview for a job based in Abu Dhabi. I gave the interview because I have been eagerly looking for a role and the current market has also been dry. I thought may be they could place me in Dubai but they cant. They said they could give me one or two days work from home. I am a female and I cannot drive, my husband works in Dubai. The offer has not been confirmed yet, but I have been thinking what to do if at all it gets confirmed. Should I skip or keep it? What are my options to travel to Abu Dhabi from Dubai? I stay in Silicon, and the office is near to ADNEC centre.

Hi guys, I am planning to visit three countries in Europe, on July. I would want to know which are the best options for travel card that

• doesn’t involve any currency losses
• bonus if there are points or cash back as well

Salary is less in between the range of 10-15k if that helps as well. I would be primarily using this card for purchases only.

Okay so my husband is basically from Thalassery and we find the place extremely crowded to settle. The place that I come from is around 10kms from Kannur town but we have the Valapattanam bridge in between which my husband hates because of the traffic. My husband is of the opinion that we need to settle in Thaana. Any opinion or suggestions? I personally would like to settle in my place due to the peace, calm and obviously less crowd.

Any new update regarding the bridge? The traffic has made me hate to get out of my house during the peak hours. Is it improving? Been a year since I visited.
